- 4. A cutting tool which is capable of being mounted on a connector and of being moved thereon to sever conductors which extend from the connector, said tool comprising:
- a locating framework which is made of a plastic material and which includes reference points disposed in the edges of said framework;
- a cutting blade which is supported by said locating framework and which extends therefrom, said cutting blade being supported by said locating framework such that it is in a predetermined orientation with respect to said reference points; and
- a housing which is made of a plastic material and which encloses said locating framework in a manner to cause said edges of said locating framework to intersect external surfaces of said housing and thereby position said cutting blade in a predetermined manner with respect to said housing with a portion thereof extending beyond said housing, said housing including means for mounting said tool for movement on a connector to cause the exposed portion of the cutting blade to sever the conductors which extend from the connector.
