Johnny bolt cutter

A cutting tool for accomplishing the cutting of sunken bolt ends within the cupped portions of a Johnny base around said bolt ends, including:

• a. a U-bolt frame;
• b. a header plate slidably mounted on said U-bolt against the ends of the U;
• c. a pair of cutter jaw plates slidably mounted on said U-bolt over said header plate, and having cutting jaws extending laterally therefrom, which are tapered towards short cutting edges as a means of cutting sunken bolt ends;
• d. said U-bolt having stop nuts threaded on its ends, and
• a threaded shank threadedly mounted through said header plate with a pin handle bar in its outer end for turning said shank to force the jaw plates together for cutting off the end of a sunken bolt over which the cutter edges may be plated;
• wherein the improvement comprises:
• a. cutting jaws which are tapered towards short cutting edges as a means of cutting sunken bolt ends, particularly sunken bolt ends sunken within the cupped portions of a Johnny base around said bolt ends;
• b. jaw plates being forced together wherein the cutting edges of said jaw plates are tapered, thereby being a means whereby sunken bolt ends, particularly sunken bolt ends sunken within the cupped portions of a Johnny base around said bolt ends, can be cut, and particularly cut easily and efficiently.
