A power mandrel is associated with the tubular member. A housing is operatively associated with the mandrel. Also included will be a rotatable cutting blade pivotally attached to the housing, and selective attachment means (operatively associated with the mandrel and the housing) for selectively attaching the mandrel and the housing together. The device may contain an activating member for activating the rotatable cutting blade into engagement with the wire so as to cut the wire. The device may further comprise a wire wedge member, positioned within the mandrel slot, that is adapted to wedge the wire into engagement with the mandrel. In one embodiment, the rotatable cutting blade comprises a disc member having a channel therethrough for receiving the wire, with the channel having sides contoured to cut the wire.
