Abstract:

A fastener cutting device comprises a body portion with a top surface and an back surface. The back surface is adapted to allow the device to be mounted to a flat mounting surface. The top surface has a guide extending generally parallel to the top surface above the top surface. The guide has an open end and a fixed end opposite the open end. The guide is spaced from the top surface at a dimension sufficient to accommodate a fastener. The cutting device further comprises a cutter disposed between the guide and the top surface generally adjacent to the guide fixed end. The guide and the top surface are arranged to allow the fastener to be movable therebetween such that the cutter may be brought against the fastener to cut the fastener, either by drawing the fastener against the cutter or by deflecting the guide toward the cutter.
