Claim:
A tool for shaping a workpiece, said tool comprising: a first member having a cutting portion and a coupling portion, said cutting portion having first and second spaced apart cutting edges; a second member having a cutting portion and a coupling portion, said coupling portions movingly connecting said first and second members to allow said tool to be stroked along a path of travel between open and closed positions, said cutting portions being spaced apart in said open position to receive the workpiece, said cutting portion of said second member having spaced apart first and second ramped blades, each of said ramped blades having a cutting edge and an angled surface, said angled surface having a predetermined length and being angled to said path of travel, said cutting edge of said first blade being adapted to flushly engage said first cutting edge of said first member and said cutting edge of said second blade being adapted to flushly engage said second cutting edge of said first member; wherein stroking said tool from said open position to said closed position causes said ramped blades to engage and form opposed, spaced bent flaps in the workpiece.
