Fantastic piece of kit - easily worth the price,

This review is from: Black & Decker GKC1000P Alligator Lopper 18v (includes 1 x 18 Volt battery) (DIY & Tools)
I bought one of these for my wife: we've just bought a house and the previous owners had let the garden run away out of control. She decided to take on the garden whilst I got on with demolishing walls and ceilings but quickly found the task of sawing up cleared shrubs and trees too much for the manual handsaw, pruners and loppers. I suggested a petrol chainsaw, but as is the case with many people, the prospect was too intimidating. (Being a typical bloke, I would of course have cheerfully ordered the biggest chainsaw on the market and then probably have killed myself with it). Then I noticed Amazon's recommendation of the Alligator, and you can see how safe it is just from looking at the picture. Both hands have to be on the handles or it won't work, and the chain is enclosed, so it's much easier and safer to use than a chainsaw. Reluctantly, my wife agreed that I should get one.
In operation, I would agree with everything the other reviewers have said. I have used it a couple of times; it took a 15 foot laurel down in a couple of minutes and is so well balanced that it always feels manageable and safe. The only down side is that, rather unexpectedly, my wife has come over all proprietorial about the thing; apparently it has a "cute face", so wheras other items of garden equipment are known as "the wheelbarrow", or "the spade", this one has a name. He's now called "Jaws", gets very carefully oiled and properly maintained and together they systematically reduce bushes and branches to neat piles of logs. However I'm no longer allowed to use him. Despite that, I would have no hesitation in recommending this product; most gardeners would be glad to have one.

Pruning is now fun,

Being a 60 year old femail weakling, I find this croc eats through branches and boughs easily. Plus it's fun to use. Pruning jobs I've had outstanding for years are not getting sorted. It was easy to set up too. I just wish I'd known how much oil it uses so I could have ordered it at the same time; so get some oil too. It does everything I want of it. I actually look forward to my pruning now!

Great tool!!!,
By Purple Baron (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black & Decker GKC1000P Alligator Lopper 18v (includes 1 x 18 Volt battery) (DIY & Tools)
Works very well, surprisingly strong and powerful enough even for large branches.
Note the manual states do not use it up a ladder but cant really see why not. It worked ok and I didnt get any kickbacks like you can get from a chainsaw. Overall very good product and would recommend. Battery didnt last as long as I had hoped but it was the first charge and the manual states it takes a few charges to get to full capacity. It probably did 80ish cuts including very large cuts before it wanted a rest. I also used Bosch chainsaw oil as it was cheaper and the B&D oil wasnt in stock. Did the trick and worked alright so not sure B&D oil is worth the extra.
