Abstract:

A tool for cutting drywall bead that has a shaped cross section and requires cutting to length with both straight and angled cuts. The tool includes a base with a first handle attached thereto and a second handle pivotably attached to the base, and a blade with a cutting edge movably engages the base. An anvil pivotably attaches to the base and may be rotated to a chosen angle relative to the blade, and the anvil has a shaped upper surface which complimentarily engages the shaped cross section of the drywall bead. A mechanical linkage forces the cutting edge of the blade towards the anvil when the second handle is biased towards the first handle such that a drywall bead positioned over the anvil is cut at a desired angle.
