 Amazon.com Product Description: 
The Alligator Lopper's wide 4-inch jaw capacity easily chews through small trunks and logs. | 
Because the Alligator Lopper cuts side-to-side instead of up and down, the chain won't bury itself in the ground when the cut is completed -- saving wear and tear on the cutting surface. | 
The Alligator Lopper's controlled, smooth cutting action makes clean-up from storms or simple pruning easy, safe, and fast. | Black & Decker's Power Saws -- Driven by Quality Black & Decker offers both cordless and electric chain saws, including the Alligator Lopper electric chain saw and 18-volt cordless chain saws. Chain saws feature powerful motors for fast cutting and a sturdy, lightweight design that makes them exceptionally easy to use. The Alligator Lopper Makes Cutting a Breeze Take a big bite out of fallen trees, tree limbs and brush with the Alligator Lopper -- a revolutionary cutting tool that provides chainsaw-like cutting performance in an un-intimidating tool. With its scissor-like action, the Alligator Lopper’s rugged metal jaws clamp onto logs, thick branches, tree limbs, and vines -- and then saw right through them. Once limbs and branches are on the ground, the Alligator Lopper is perfect for chopping them up into manageable pieces to throw away or chuck into your fireplace. This amazing saw boasts a rugged 4.5 amp motor for fast, powerful chomping through wood -- plus a heavy-duty cutting bar and chain to really chew through dense branches and logs. This model also features auto chain tensioning to keep the tool in top cutting form. Just loosen the bar retainer bolts with the included wrench and the bar automatically takes out the slack and adjusts the chain’s tension perfectly. The Alligator Lopper’s jaws offer the ultimate in controlled cutting. The rugged metal guards that cover the jaws protect you from the cutting chain, and they immediately snap back over the blades once the cut is complete. The Alligator Lopper’s jaws also mean that there's no skipping around at the start of a cut. Unlike traditional chainsaws, the lopper cuts side-to-side instead of from top to bottom. This sideways cutting action prevents the cutting chain from burying itself in the dirt as the chain completes its cut. The Alligator Lopper also makes it much faster and easier to cut logs, because you'll never need to prop them up on saw horses or on other any other brace. Just grab the logs in the Alligator Lopper’s jaws and cut right through them. Key Technical Specs:
- Power: 4.5 amps
- Bar length: 6 inches
- Jaw capacity: 4 inches
Applications The Alligator Lopper is ideal for tree pruning, clearing brush, storm clean-up, cutting firewood and more, and it’s a great alternative to chainsaws, manual loppers, handsaws and clippers.

Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-06-28 What a Great Tool After years of trimming, I finally have a tool that makes tree trimming a breeze. Perfect for those jobs too big for a hand pruner but too bothersome for a chainsaw. I only wish I had this item years ago. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-20 I'd buy another one tomorrow if it broke today The review title says it all. As long as I own property with trees I will own one of these. Between this and my electric pole saw I have everything I need to get rid of dead or otherwise unwanted branches with minimal effort. Then again, a wood chipper might be nice. Hmmm ... Fargo ...

i've had my eye on this little tool since it first came out, but the price was an issue. when amazon discounted it, i went for it. what a great tool!! it's light weight, but cuts through limbs easily. i no longer have to wait for my husband to get out his heavy chain saw, and help me trim. it's one product that actually does what it says it will. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-11 Hands down one of my best tools. As well as one of my favorites. So easy to use it's almost fool proof, I'm telling you if you're like me and alone to do most of the yard/ outdoor work this tool's something you should check it. For less than a hundred dollars, and a full two year warranty, you can have a reliable, easy to use tool that you may actually enjoy using.
It cuts through whatever you throw at it, just remember nothing too large and keep that little oil bottle handy. Don't make the same mistake I did and oil it often, you don't want it freezing up and breaking on you.
Anyway it's light weight and very easy to use, especially for those chain saw challenged like myself. If there's any complaint it would be the length of the power cord, I have almost half an acre and extension cord after extension gets tedious at times. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-09 junk lasted less than 5 minutes when it jammed and then broke. Unfortunate for me, it sat on the shelf for two years before I used it. |
