The Black & Decker LP 1000K Alligator Lopper is a 4.5 Amp Electric Chain Saw Kit. The Alligator Lopper is the perfect choice for pruning and cutting up big branches from trees. It easily slices 3-4 inch branches. It is an ideal tool for pruning tree branches up to four inches in diameter, cutting branches into manageable pieces, and cutting of fallen branches after storms.
It feels safer that you have to use both hands in order to work with it. It keeps your hands away from the blade and does not cause any harm. It is a revolutionary new cutting tool that provides chainsaw-like cutting performance in an un-intimidating and easy to use tool.
The alligator lopper’s jaws offer the ultimate in controlled cutting. The rugged metal guards that cover the jaws protect you from cutting chain and immediately snap back over the blades once the cut is complete.
The Alligator Lopper cuts side-to-side instead of from top to bottom as with traditional chainsaws. This sideways cutting prevents burying the cutting chain in the dirt as the chain cuts though, which can quickly dull a regular chainsaw.
