Abstract: A cutting tool includes a first lever having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to a second elongated element in an articulated manner at a third pivot point and the second end being arranged to engage with a tongue in a metal plate to transmit force from the second elongated element to a first blade in the metal plate so as to perform a cutting movement with a cutting jaw when the first and the second elongated elements are shifted towards one another. The cutting tool also comprises an engagement device provided in the tongue and arranged to receive the second end of the lever optionally at two or more engagement points with respect to the first pivot point so as to perform stepwise cutting movements. The engagement points are placed in the tongue successively away from the third pivot point.

Abstract: A cutting tool includes a metal plate including a blade that forms a cutting jaw with an anvil, the metal plate being connected in an articulated manner to an anvil part at a first pivot point and connected operationally to a first elongated element having a first tooth gear part for opening and closing the cutting jaw in response to the relative turning movement of the first elongated element and a second elongated element, having a second tooth gear part, about the second and the third pivot points respectively.

Abstract: A cutting tool includes a first handle, a second handle, a first cutting blade attached to the first handle at a first pivot point, and a second cutting blade attached to the second handle at a second pivot point. The first and the second cutting blades are engaged with one another at a pivot point for movement in a scissor-like manner between an open position and a closed position in response to rotational movement of the first and the second handles. The first handle includes a first toothed transmission part and the second handle includes a second toothed transmission part, the first and the second toothed transmission parts being arranged to be engaged with one another.

Abstract: Pruning shears or corresponding cutters comprising a first elongated handle part, a first blade part arranged as an extension of the first handle part, a second blade part pivoted to the first blade part from a first pivot point, and a second elongated handle part pivoted at its first end to the second blade part from a second pivot point. The second elongated handle part is connected to the first elongated handle part with at least one shaft pivotally connected to both the first and second elongated handle parts. The first and second elongated handle parts are arranged in the open position of the shears in remain along their entire length at a distance from each other enabling the use of the shears with one hand along the entire length of the handle parts.
