Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker Alligator Lopper 4.5-AMP Electric Chain Saw #LP1000

Customer Review: My first and last chainsaw, absolutely idiot-proof
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a first-time homeowner with a huge, heavily wooded yard, and as much as I needed a chainsaw to get through the trunks and branches that need constant pruning, I'm naturally clumsy and intimidated by the raw, unharnessed power of most chainsaws.

When I learned about the Black & Decker Alligator Lopping Chainsaw, I felt comfortable enough to at least add one to my Wish List. Surprisingly, my Mom bought it for my birthday, but it sat in the garage for a long time before I finally got around to trying it out. I now wish I had put it to use sooner!

The biggest selling point of the lopper is safety: you get chainsaw power and utility in a more error-proof form factor, with the chain guarded on both sides by the jaw. You lose some flexibility in terms of the width of cuts allowed, but most things you'd cut with a traditional small electric chainsaw aren't much wider than the maximum this lopper's jaws can accommodate. And as other reviewers have noted, there are things you can do with this chainsaw that would be tricky or impossible on a traditional model, like cutting a stump flush against the ground.

This weekend, I spent 6 straight hours trimming 5 years' worth of growth on a thick mountain laurel hedge. It performed remarkably, barely struggling on trunks 6 inches in diameter and cutting through the smaller branches like a hot knife through butter. Only once, due to user error, did the chain come loose but resetting it in the cam was a snap. But otherwise no stalls or kickback, and its lightweight design made it a breeze to lift over my shoulders and carry up the ladder.

I'm already looking forward to my next pruning/trimming project!

Description of Black & Decker Alligator Lopper 4.5-AMP Electric Chain Saw #LP1000



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.
