Full Overview
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

Smith "stans226" (Redding, CA USA) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) I have a small gas-powered chain saw and also a gas-powered pole saw. The chain saw is heavy to hold up and I didn't need to use the pole saw for most of my pruning. Based on the reviews, I decided to give this product a try. This tool works really great! It's not super heavy and you don't have to mess with gas since it's electric powered. I've been using mine to trim oleanders with some branches 4" thick with no problems. Even with ratchet loppers, it's not always possible to cut the thicker branches and the Alligator Lopper solves this problem. You do have to put oil into a small covered hole but you have to oil and chain saw device. The jaws shield the cutters while closed so it's pretty safe to use. Was this review helpful to you?

Funkhouser "bfunk" (California) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) 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 action. The scissor motion is easier than the knife motion of a traditional chainsaw. When trees are felled and on the ground, you can walk along the tree to buck the pieces to lengths rather than propping up the tree and then kneeling next to it for each cut.
3) Appears safer. The blade is almost entirely enclosed. When you put the saw down, you don't need to worry about the blade hitting anything. The light weight (6 pounds) is also less tiring. I would give one to my mother (age 70) to use on her trees.
4) Very capable saw. The manual recommends no more than 4 inch diameter, but I've cut larger trees without problem.
Watch the video on the amazon site. It does a good job illustrating the benefits. A traditional chainsaw is still best for felling trees and cutting large trees, but this lopper is my new favorite companion to my traditional saw. Was this review helpful to you?

Crossley (Williamsport, PA USA) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) Couldn't wait for this one to arrive. Won't use a regular chain saw for fear of losing digits, but this tool seems so much safer and was very easy to use. Very sturdy, but not too heavy for a non-lumberjack to operate. Cut hours of my yard work down to minutes, and I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase! Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comment

Priore "papillionpuppy" (NJ, USA) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) I have never written a review before but I HAD to endorse this product. In fact I just ordered another one as I never want to be without one. It has already paid for itself several times over with the yardwork I can now do myself. Safe, easy to use, lightweight enought to manage-and I have back problems. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comment

Black and Deacker Looper, May 1, 2006 By Frank Wimmer "Frank from Shrewsbury PA" This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) 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 grabs the branch to assure it's not going anywhere and promptly zips it off. My gas powered trimmer blade could take as long as 10 minutes to cut a particularly stubburn shrub branch. My Black and Decker will do this is less than 20 seconds. This stands alone for now, but I'm sure companies will follow suit and get on the band wagon.
Just Love my new tool !!!!!!!!!

Barnell Jr. "Bud Barnell" (Seneca Falls NY) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) I have 63 acres of land that I have made ATV trails on. I put a 1000 watt generator on the front of the ATV and bring the Aligator Lopper to the trails. I have NEVER seen anything that can compare to this tool. I can not find any thing wrong with it as of yet. Trimming branches and cutting down small trees has never been so easy. (and fun!) Every "big boy" needs one of these in his tool kit.

Alek (Annandale, VA) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) 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 you cut large branches off the ground, by clamping underneath, huge time saver and no chance of hitting a burried rock w/ the chain. The chain is never exposed to a miss placed foot or leg. No fuel to mix and no cold weather issues with starting, being electric. A 4" diameter cut log is great for the fireplace or wood stove. For safety, viability, ease of use, and raw power, definitely a 5. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comment

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, press the triggers and the saw cuts and closes the Lopper. You do not have to exert force. It cuts like butter. Black and Decker says it cuts up to 4" diameter trees and that is accurate. I even was able to cut 5" trees, though you have to turn the Lopper around the tree as you cut. It is simple to tighten the chain. You just loosen two screws, which allows the spring to tighten the blade into the chain, then tighten the screws. A piece of cake! I love, love, love this tool! Did I say I love this tool? For about a $100 it's a no-brainer. I think everyone should have two. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comment

Cox (Kentucky Lakes) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) A very handy tool for triming larger branches. But not for use on a ladder as one must use boyh hands to operate the tool. The 'must use both hands to operate' is a great safety feature for those that may be inclined to hold a branch while cutting with a non-discriminating chain.
It is especially good for clearing brush areas because you can trim right to the ground without damaging the chaim as you would with a chain saw.
I would like to see B & D up the motor power to about 6 amps to give it a little more umph.
A small belt clip holster for the oil bottle and wrench would be great so your not looking for them in the debris.

Gracchus "Twinsdad" (Longmont, CO USA) This review is from: Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper amp Electric Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio) 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.
