General Comments
The Black & Decker GK1000 Alligator Lopper is basically a protected 10inch chainsaw.
This tool would be an asset to anyone with big hedges or trees to prune.
It saves a great deal of time cutting through 10cm branches or logs in a few seconds.
It is much safer (and less intimidating) than a normal chain saw.
Apart from routine cleaning, and a few drops of oil to the oil reservoir before use, and then after every 10 minutes use, it has surpassed my expectations, and at around £89 is well worth it.

If you are a potential customer for the Alligator and want to know how reliable it is.. I got this 2 years ago for my thickly wooded property and this things great. I've found it to be very useful around the yard and it certainly feels safer to use than a regular chainsaw. Yes, it's fabulous compared to a normal chainsaw. Much safer and works on fat branches and small trees. Probably up to the size of your leg although you could make multiple cuts for a much bigger tree. Not for full sized trees. Good for small branches too that would normally just get pushed by a chain saw. I say that this a chainsaw with a stabilising jaw, ideal for smaller branches up to 4in (10cm) thick!
<br/>
<br/>If you live in hurricane country on the Gulf Coast and after every storm the chainsaws would come out to clear away the downed trees and branches, it's safe, a time saver and continues in the fine name of Black and Decker.
