Patent ID: 10076827

Abstract:
A work tool includes a tool handle assembly that is moveable between an open default position and a closed working position. The tool handle assembly is constructed with an upper tool handle assembly and a lower tool handle assembly where the upper tool handle assembly and the lower tool handle assembly are configured to be snap-fit together to enable pivotal movement between the upper tool handle assembly and the lower tool handle assembly. The tool handle assembly further includes an attack angle orientation assembly carried partially by the upper tool handle assembly and carried partially by the lower tool handle assembly to facilitate pivotally closing a pair of cutting blades to operate on a work piece; the cutting blades are carried into alignment with a cutting blade plane defined by an imaginary cutting plane line extending between proximal end portions of the upper tool handle assembly and the lower tool handle assembly to prevent the pair of cutting blades from over-cutting a work piece beyond the cutting blade plane. The tool handle assembly further includes a biasing member which is secured between the upper tool handle assembly and the lower tool handle assembly in order to bias the tool handle assembly to an open default position and in order to bias the pair of cutting blades into an object receiving open position.
