Abstract

A cutting hand tool comprising a receiving jaw for supporting a workpiece in a stable position, a cutting jaw opposed to the receiving jaw and a movable handle for intermittently forcing the cutting jaw into the workpiece through ratchet means. When cutting the workpiece, the cutting jaw in its fully opened position is quickly turned into contact with the workpiece by the movement of the movable handle elastically delivered to the cutting jaw, without resorting to the action of the ratchet means.
