Armored cable stripping tool for cutting the armor in two places

A stripping tool for cutting an armored cable, the stripping tool comprising:

• a cable receiving handle comprising first and second channel members defining a cable receiving channel, the cable receiving channel having a channel width defined by a distance between the first channel member and the second channel member;
• and
• a saw assembly comprising:
• a first saw handle pivotally mounted to the first channel member at a first pivot point;
• a second saw handle pivotally mounted to the second channel member at a second pivot point;
• a first saw blade retained in a fixed first blade position onto the first saw handle;
• a second saw blade retained in a fixed second blade position onto the second saw handle;
• and
• a drive mechanism coupled to the first and second saw blades for rotatably driving the first and second saw blades;
• wherein:
• the channel width is adjustable between a maximum width and one of a plurality of cutting positions by applying a squeezing force to the first and second channel members;
• the first channel member and the second channel member are each slidably connected to each other by a pair of spring pins, each spring pin comprising a spring to bias the first channel member away from the second channel member to the maximum channel width;
• and
• the first saw handle and the second saw handle are each slidably connected to the pair of spring pins to bias the first saw handle and the second saw handle beyond the first channel member and the second channel member until the first saw blade and the second saw blade are outside the cable receiving channel.
