This invention is about a wire cutters in which one the curve sharp edge is made with three cut sections with different lean angles. A classic wire cutters cut an electric wire comprising a plastic sheath and a metallic heart. However during the cut, the wires moved to the both ends of the sharp edges because of the movement of the both jaws. Consequently, the user has to open the hand in oder to cut the wires. Moreover, the sharp edge has a fixe curve and an angle with a lean which can not help the efficiency of the cut and which needs lots of efforts to cut the wires. This invention presents a curve sharp edge comprising a central section with a high lean angle, in that way it is easy to cut the wires. Indeed, this central section is between both sections comprising low lean angles; this system allows to move the wire on the central edge and to cut effectively, with less efforts. |
