Abstract
A device for cutting workpieces is in the form of pliers. One plier arm carries on an operating-end section an interchangeable blade. The blade can be moved toward and engages against an anvil of the operating-end section of the other plier arm by moving the plier arms toward one another. In order to improve the handling of such a cutting device, each plier arm includes a handle section. One of the two handle sections forms a selectively closeable storage chamber for storing spare blades. The chamber is in a core part of one of the plier arms and is covered and closed by a handle shell.
