Abstract
A cutting type rescue tool having a body with an axis of actuation. A spacer on the body spaces a reaction arm, which reaction arm extends across the axis. An actuator barrel contains a piston from which a piston rod extends to a cutting blade that faces the reaction arm. The actuator barrel is slidably mounted in the body and is retained thereto. Braking shoulders on the actuator barrel and on the body oppose a decelerator device which reduces impact forces between the actuator barrel and the body, after the piston bottoms on the actuator barrel.
