<p>A hand-held tool (10) is provided for scoring and severing an optical fiber (36). An elongate, generally hollow body (18) has a longitudinal axis extending lengthwise thereof and defines a graspable handle for the tool. A plunger (22) is reciprocally mounted in the hollow body for movement in a path generally in the direction of the longitudinal axis. An optical fiber is supported at one end of the body transverse to the longitudinal axis, and a deflector (48) places the optical fiber under tension. A scoring probe (58) is operatively associated with the plunger (22) and movable therewith towards the fiber for scoring and severing the fiber extending across the path of movement of the scoring probe. An actuator lever (12) is pivotally mounted on the body, operatively associated with the plunger, with a finger depressible portion exposed exteriorly of the body, for manual actuation while grasping the body to move the plunger and scoring probe towards the tensioned optical fiber. <IMAGE></p> |
