My new favorite saw
I have two chainsaws (gas and electric) which are not going to get nearly as much use now that I have this Alligator Lopper. It is ideal for 99% of the cutting I need to do. Here are some of the reasons I prefer it over my other chainsaws:
1) Can cut directly on the ground. How many times have you dulled a chainsaw blade because the chain touched the ground? The chain guards on this allow you to cut trees right on the ground.
2) Familiar and comfortable cutting ac...

Finally a lawn tool that can do the job!!! Black and Deacker Looper
I have purchased the Black and Decker LP1000 tree looper and It is excellent !!!!!! while I have an array of lawn tools, up till now, I couldn't find the right tool for stubborn shrubs and tree limbs. Some shrubs are very difficult to trim and keep looking groomed. Hedge trimmers are often lacking in that the branches are too thick and hard to cut. Manual Loopers can be exhusting and time consuming. Well, the Black and Decker Alligator Looper cuts with a vengance!!!! Powerful yet light, it gra...

Well designed product
Much more than I expected. Very safe to use. I have an inate fear of chain saws, I use them all the time, but you really have to watch what you are doing. I had doubts about the cutting capability of a unique electric saw like this, however it cuts through 4 inch diameter oak branches like butter. Tip, get the chain to speed before clamping. Perfect for those branches that are way too large for a manual lopper and too unstable and small for a gas chain saw. The lower jaw is designed to let...

The B&D Lopper
This lopper will cut a 4" branch/log easily as advertised. One large log is fine. If you try to cut several smaller twigs at once, there is the possibility of a jam. However, you should be using your hand loppers for the small stuff. It's a great design and a great tool. I especially like the idea of not being able to cut in the dirt and wear-out the blade. One draw-back is the required hand-oiling every ten minutes. Automatic oiling would make this a 5-star.

EVERYONE NEEDS AN ALLIGATOR LOPPER
This is the best tool I have ever owned. I have a gas chainsaw which is heavy and which I let a male friend use. I also have a smaller, lighter electric chainsaw that is easier to use. But when I saw the Alligator Lopper advertised in a magazine I thought it was the answer to my prayers. Most important is how safe I feel using it. The guards over the blade and the light weight enable me to feel safe and confident when using it. The Lopper does all of the work. You just hold the handles, p...

Works great. Seems very safe. Easy oiling and adjustment.
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Used it to cut up downed trees for firewood. I had read the overwelmingly positive reviews before ordering but was still wondering if it would perform well when cutting anything over the size of a small branch. I used it on branches and tree tops up up to 5-7 inches in diameter and it went through them wonderfully. On some of the bigger logs, the length of the blade became a limitation, i...

Alligator eats trees
I have tried buck saws and gas powered chain saws. The first is hard work (I'm 70+) and the second is fairly dangerous. This "Alligator" (its trade name) comes ready to go right out of the box. It is easy to pick up and position, and really simple to use. Just grab the handles, one hand each side (remember this was designed for safty). Then spread the "mouth" of the gator out, sqeeze the triggers (one for each hand) and gently close the mouth of the gator around the braanch you want to cut....

Works exactly as advertised!
This tool is an incredible time saver. It cuts thru 4 to 5 inch thick branches without effort. The cuts are clean and - if applied on a slight angle - without jagged edges.
On thing of note is that you need to apply a drop of oil to the chain through a little hole for every 10 to 15 minutes of use.
If you have a lot of trees, the lopper is a must-have! Great job by Black and Decker.

GOT PALM TREES?
Got Palm Trees???
Get this tool!
I have 5 acres of mostly cabbage palms, some queen palms, arecas and a couple of robolleni (pygmy palms)
One sentence sums it up:
"HOT KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER!"
I'm female, but have no fear of chainsaws, owned several in fact, but never liked messing with the oil & gas. I've bought electric chainsaws in the past but they are usually weak and inferior. Now I reach for this tool everytime. Because of it's clamping action, it holds the palm ...

Cuts brush better than advertised
This is the first product I've found that works even better than advertised. We've taken out lots of buckthorn in our yard which left us with piles of brush that we were cutting with a hand held loper. Needless to say a handheld loper is tiresome and a regular chainsaw was too big to cut the brush. However, after seeing this Alligator loper on TV I had to have one. This loper is the perfect tool for cutting up small brush and trees. It's also safer than a chainsaw because of the blade guards, ve...
