Abstract
The present invention relates to a windshield wiper cutter for removing a portion of a blade of a windshield wiper. The windshield wiper cutter allows the user to manually engage a windshield wiper cutter along a linear path and across at least one cutter to remove a portion of the blade of a windshield wiper. In doing so, an old, uneven or damaged blade can be repurposed for future use by removing only the old, uneven or damaged portions of the blade and leaving the remaining portions of the blade intact. In the process of removing only a specific portion of the blade, the inside of the blade is now exposed and a new edge is formed. The new edge comprising a previously unused portion of the blade that effectively disperses debris and water from the windshield of a vehicle.
