A shearing tool has a first unit with a first blade, rotatably coupled to a second unit with a second blade, at a first pivot having a first pin, so that displacement of the first blade relative to the first pin in a direction parallel with a first rotational axis is prevented, and the handle is connected to the second blade so that rotational movement of the handle relative to the second blade about a second rotational axis is allowed. The second rotational axis is defined by a second pivot interacting with the second blade and the handle at a distance from the first rotational axis in a direction away from a cutting edge contact point. When the shearing tool moves from an open to a closed position, the second blade is driven towards the first blade at the contact point for increasing the cutting capacity of the shearing tool.

A cutting device for the chipless cutting of a material comprises a cutting part and a supporting part. The cutting part and the supporting part are designed to be rotated with respect to one another about an axis of rotation between an open position and a closed position. A hand lever is articulated to the supporting part for pivoting about a pivot axis. A ratchet mechanism converts a back-and-forth motion of the hand lever into a continuous rotational motion of the cutting part toward the closed position. The ratchet mechanism includes a toothing and a drive pawl, which can be brought into an effective position with respect to the toothing. Furthermore, the cutting device comprises a coupling mechanism, which converts a one-time pivoting motion of the hand lever into a rotational motion of the cutting part. A separate coupling element transmits force from the hand lever to the cutting part.

The present invention is a single blade clone cutter. The single blade clone cutter comprises a u-shaped housing with a single removable blade. The blade is locked into the u-shaped housing to secure the blade from moving during the process of cutting. It is important to have a single blade that cuts onto a flat surface so there is no damage being done to the fibers at the end of a cutting.

A garden shears has a first cutting member, a second cutting member and a protecting member. The first cutting member and the second cutting member are combined adjacent to each other, and the first cutting member and the second cutting member respectively have a blade portion facing the blade portion of the other cutting member. The blades of the first cutting member and the second cutting member are used for opposite positioning cutting, instead of staggered cutting after closing, which can avoid the formation of two different cut surfaces on both sides of the branches. The protecting member has a securing aperture and an arced slot, and the securing aperture is a polygonal aperture with multiple engaging edges.
