Abstract
Portable electric wire cutter device includes a housing; a pair of spaced apart electrodes mounted with the housing; a source of electric current, for communication with the electrodes; a wire-guiding member, which can control or guide wire to be in proximity or contact with the electrodes; and a trigger mechanism, which can draw a wire within control of the wire-guiding member to electrical contact with the electrodes and activate a flow of electrical current from the source of electrical current to and from the electrodes, through a length of the wire in the electrical contact with the electrodes, such that the wire can be cut by the electrical current. The device may be of the hand-held type.
