Abstract:
1. A tool for cutting non-metal pipe or tubing comprising: a base member formed from a rigid S-shaped support section having a tubular shaped jaw along a first end for receipt of tubular items to be cut and a second end; a first handle having an upper end secured to said second end of said base member for rotation about a pinion pin member, said pinion pin member providing single axis rotation of said first handle with respect to said base member, and a lower grip end positioned substantially parallel to said tubular shaped jaw; a second handle secured to said first handle for rotation about a pivot, said pivot being positioned at central portion of said second handle and oriented substantially perpendicular with respect to said pinion pin member; a coupling post having a first end and a second end, said first end pivotally secured to said base member via an engagement rivet, said engagement rivet oriented to be substantially parallel to said pivot, said second end secured to a first end of said second handle via a spherical coupler; a cutting member pivotally secured to said base member; and a ratchet means allowing sequential advancement of said cutting member toward said tubular shaped jaw; wherein the sequential squeezing of said first and said second handles causes the pivotal movement of said cutting member over said tubular shaped jaw for cutting of a tubular shaped item placed therebetween.
