An elongated cylindrical mandrel holds a dummy electrical connector receptacle at one end, and slidably carries a concentric tubular carrier which is biased towards the dummy receptacle. A plurality of circumferentially spaced spindles are hinge mounted at their one end to the carrier for pivoting angularly with respect to the carrier axis and carry cutter wheels on their outboard ends. A slide closer concentrically surrounds the carrier, is axially displaceable, and bears cam surfaces contacting the spindles to cause the spindles to pivot inwardly towards the dummy receptacle. When the mandrel is projected, the receptacle receives in attachment the electrical connector plug bearing the tubular bayonet coupling ring to be severed. A stop limits the pivoting of the spindles and cutter wheels to permit the ring to be severed circumferentially without damage to the plug or its wiring.
