Claim Text:
1. A tool for cutting a cable comprising: a bearing having a first end and a second end, an outer surface having a plurality of pockets therein, and a passageway extending through said bearing from said first end to said second end, said passageway for receiving the cable therein; a handle rotatably attached to the first end of the bearing; a pin mounted in each said pocket such that the pins are between the bearing and the handle; and a cutting assembly comprising a bushing having a blade attached thereto, said bushing having a first end and a second end and a passageway extending through said bushing from said first end to said second end for receiving the cable therein, said bushing is non-rotationally attached to the second end of the bearing; wherein during a rotational motion of the handle relative to the bearing in a first direction the pins roll freely in the pockets to allow relative movement between the handle and the bearing, and during a rotational motion of the handle relative to the bearing in a second direction which is opposite to said first direction, the pins frictionally engage the bearing and the handle to transfer torque from the handle to the bearing and the bushing.
