The present invention relates to scissor action tools which comprise first and second cutting elements pivotable about a first joint in a first plane of movement and first and second hand levers pivotable about a second joint in a second plane of movement. One end of the first cutting element is pivotally connected to one end of the first hand lever at a third joint and one end of the second cutting element is pivotally connected to one end of the second hand lever at a fourth joint, a line connecting the third and fourth joint forming a meeting line between the first and second plane of movement. The third and fourth joint allow the angle between the first and second plane of movement to be adjusted. <IMAGE>
