A hand operated shearing tool, comprising a first unit (1 ) comprising a first blade (11), the first blade (11) comprising a first cutting edge (112); and a second unit (2) comprising a second blade (21) and a second handle (22) connected to the second blade (21) at a proximal end (211) of the second blade (21), the second blade (21) comprising a second cutting edge (212), wherein the second unit (2) is connected rotatably to the first unit (1) about a first rotational axis (Ri) defined by a first pivot (3), the first pivot (3) comprising a first pin (31) penetrating the first blade (11) and the second blade (21); the first pin (31) is connected to the first blade (11) so that displacement of the first blade (11) in relation to the first pin (31) in a direction parallel with the first rotational axis (Ri) is prevented; the second handle (22) is connected to the second blade (21) so that rotational movement of the second handle (22) in relation to the second blade (21) about a second rotational axis (R2) is allowed; the second rotational axis (R2) is defined by a second pivot (4) interacting with the second blade (21) and the second handle (22) and being arranged at a distance (D) from the first rotational axis (Ri) in a direction away from the cutting edge contact point (P); the first pin (31) is arranged to penetrate the second handle (22) through a through hole (221) arranged in the second handle (22); the diameter of the through hole (221) is greater than the diameter of the first pin (31) for allowing movement of the second handle (22) in relation to the second blade (21) in a direction transversal to the first rotational axis (Ri); the through hole (221) has afrusto-conical shape at the end of the through hole (221) opening in the direction away from the second blade (21); the first pivot (3) comprises a frusto-conical shape arranged coaxially with the first pin for interacting with the frusto- conical shape of the through hole (221); as a result, the second ha
