Abstract
The tool is a pliers or cutters having two members that are pivotally joined. The portions of the members on one side of the joint define cutter jaws or plier jaws as the case may be. On the other side of the joint, the members define handles located on the same side of the jaw axis. The rear handle has a first section nearest its associated jaw extending away from the jaw axis at an acute angle, and a second section extending from the first section at an obtuse angle. The other handle also has two sections, the first section nearest the jaws having a slight curvature and the second section having a curvature which is convex outwardly and is more pronounced than that of the first section.
