Black & Decker Alligator Lopper 4.5-AMP Electric Chain Saw #LP1000

This produst works as advertised. I did all the pruning as well as clean up in short order. The unit was much easier to use than my small chain saw. Was able to control the logs in a safer manner. It was worth the purchase.

This is a GREAT saw! I just cut up about 1/3 of a cord of wood, and I am a 68 yr old lady! Now I can burn wood to my heart's content, as we have plenty of dead wood, small trees that a neighbor can cut down. (He cuts some of my wood for himself, too)

After the tree is down, I just haul it away and cut it to length. If the tree is too big for me to drag, the neighbor cuts it up a bit. WHOOPEE! Plenty of wood to burn! Great exercise! THANK YOU Black and Decker! NOW, I will save up for a cordless Alligator to take into the woods!Black & Decker Alligator Lopper 4.5-AMP Electric Chain Saw #LP1000

It works find at the first couple cuts. When the saw dust got stuck in the end of the jaws, the jaw stop closing thus the function of the "jaws" became useless.
If you don't mind stopping every few minutes to clean out the saw dust, it is not a bad tool.

Great tool. Easy to use and very safe, because both hands must be on the handles for the machine to operate. I use it for trimming my palm trees and find that this tool makes the job much easier than my old manual loppers. The jaws on this lopper open very wide allowing me to prune the trees with ease.

Men love gadgets, and merchants continue to come up with fancy but useless gadgets to sell them. This, however, is an exception that is a truly useful innovation.

Technically, the Alligator Lopper is a mini-chain-saw with metal guards on both sides, one of which doubles as a clamping jaw. Functionally, it acts as a super-sized and super-powered lopper. It can easily cut through branches up to 5-6" in diameter in one pass.

A recent storm brought down a sizable dead branch from one of the oak trees in my yard. This Alligator Lopper took care of it easily. I actually spent more time with the extension power cable than the actual cutting. Without it, I would have had to get a chain saw, which would be a lot more difficult and dangerous.
