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.

It works as advertised November 1, 2008 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.
WONDERFUL! November 1, 2008 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
Wrongly designed Lopper October 16, 2008 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.
Black and Decker Alligator Lopper October 12, 2008 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.
A safe, convenient and functional invention. October 11, 2008 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.
