Abstract
A plier-like tool of appropriate design allows expeditious manipulation of articles in confined areas. For example, the tool is particularly useful in removing fish hooks; the hook is cut and grasped for removal in such limited spatial environment. The tool includes a non-planar arcuate cutter as well as a grasping region.
