The Alligator® powered lopper from Black & Decker® is the most innovative cutting tool around. It is a revolutionary new cutting tool that provides chainsaw cutting performance in an easy to use and much less intimidating form. The Alligator® powered lopper can prune much thicker branches with less effort than manual loppers. With its powerful motor and the familiar scissor-like motion, it does the hard part and slices through branches with ease. From small branches to logs up to 4 inches (100 mm) in diameter, the Alligator® powered lopper can handle it all. The patent pending jaws protect the user from the moving cutting chain, whilst grabbing and holding branches and logs for the ultimate in controlled cutting.
