Abstract
Abstract A tool for use in the reciprocating manipulation of wire to cut through an adhesive compound supporting a replaceable item such as an automobile windshield comprises a handle portion from which projects a blade having a curved marginal wall having a trough along which the wire to be handled is permitted to extend. The tool is equipped with guide surfaces to facilitate location of the wire into its trough and with lock nut means for anchoring a free end of the wire at a location convenient to the guiding action of said guide surfaces.
