Abstract
A soil pipe cutting device comprising a pair of pivotally interconnected arm members having jaw ends and actuator ends and a flexible, non-extendable cutter chain adjustably mounted between the jaw ends to circumscribe a pipe to be cut is provided with a screw-type actuating mechanism for displacing the jaw ends in the direction to tension the cutter chain to sever a pipe, and with a handle removably and adjustably mounted on the actuator end of one of the arms for transporting the cutter and for supporting and manipulating the cutter during a pipe cutting operation.
