Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a tool for cutting wires that have portions embedded in a connector block, the tool comprising an elongated hollow housing in which a plunger is reciprocatingly mounted; the housing includes an anvil at one end thereof which is so shaped as to receive thereon the connector block from which extends one or more wires to be cut; the extremity of the plunger has a wedge-shaped cutting end which may be forced into the connector in the area of a wire so as to effect a cutting of the wire leaving the cut extremity of the wire recessed with respect to the sidewall of the block.
