Sidewall Cutter

This Sidewall Cutter is designed to cut sections of loose wire or cable that have been broken and left in the well. With a larger than normal expansion ratio, it can be run safely though broken sections of wire with less danger of becoming snagged or caught up on the way in or out. This also reduces risk when running through restrictions or zones of scale accumulation. The tool is activated by downward jarring on a solid base, which causes the high strength cutting blades to extend outwards and cut the wire against the tubing wall. As the cutter is pulled out of the well, the blades retract to allow it to be retrieved safely back to surface.
