Summary:A cutting tool (10) includes a housing (11), a head assembly (30) disposed on the housing and carrying a first blade (33). A cam drive mechanism (20) is disposed within the housing. The cam drive mechanism carries a second blade (26) opposed to the first blade. A motor (15) drives the cam drive mechanism. A battery pack (12) is electrically connected to the motor. The cam drive mechanism moves the second blade towards the first blade, so that a wire (W) disposed between the first and second blades receives a cutting force of less than 12 kiloNewton. The cam drive mechanism may include a spindle (21S) driven by the motor, a radial cam (21) fixed to the spindle, a roller assembly contacting the radial cam, and a shuttle connected to the roller assembly, the shuttle being movable in a reciprocating motion and carrying the second blade.
