10. Tool according to any one of Claims 1 to 9, characterised in that it comprises a strangled passage (32) between the axial cavity (2) in the tubular body (1) where a hydraulic fluid circulates and each housing, substantially at the place where the said space (14) closed vis-à-vis the outside is formed, this passage allowing an injection into this space of jets of hydraulic fluid preventing penetration into this space of a drilling fluid situated outside.
11. Tool according to Claim 10, characterised in that it comprises means (33) of filtering the fluid to be passed through the said strangled passage (32).
12. Tool according to any one of Claims 5 to 11, characterised in that the hollow piston (15) separates the axial cavity (2) of the tubular body (1) in which a hydraulic fluid is at an internal pressure and the housings (3) which are in communication with the outside through their opening.
13. Tool according to Claim 12, characterised in that it comprises an activation device which axially holds the hollow piston (15) inside the tubular body (1) in an initial position in which the cutting arms (5, 6) are in the retracted position in their housing (3) and which is capable of releasing the hollow piston (15) at a suitable moment, thus allowing it to perform its axial movement according to a hydraulic fluid pressure, and at least one return spring (18) which opposes this axial movement and returns the hollow piston (15) towards its initial position, when the hydraulic pressure decreases.
14. Tool according to Claim 13, characterised in that the activation device comprises at least one shear pin (42) which, when the internal pressure of the hydraulic fluid is less than a given threshold, axially holds the hollow piston (15) inside the tubular body (1) in the said initial position and which, when a pressure greater than this threshold is applied to it, is sheared, thus allowing an axial movement of the hollow piston (15) and simultaneously a driving of the slider (10) and passage of the cutting arms (5, 6) to an extension position.
15. Tool according to any one of Claims 12 to 14, characterised in that it comprises a de-activation device which, in the active position, is capable of immobilising the hollow piston in its initial extreme position where the cutting arms of the cutter elements are in the retracted position.
