A Handy Garden Tool (2008-08-29)

My local DIY store was selling these loppers off, so I bought one with a veiw to clearing a hedge area in my garden. I used it solidly for two days cutting a series of branches upto about 3 inches. This cutter made the job very simple and much easier than cutting by hand. As with any chain based cutter you need to oil and tighten the blade periodically and this is a really simple process. The best feature is the clamps which also cover the blade, this gives a real feeling of safety because it makes it very hard to access the blade during use. It also has the added benefit of reducing the chippings given off, but I suggest that you still wear the safety gear.The two handle design is also comfortable during use and I found it very light. It's and all round good piece of kit.

Fast easy pruning and safe to use (2007-04-11)

I am usualy wary of wacky looking garden equipment and prefer conventional tools. However this uniquie product really impressed me with its ease of use and fast clean cutting ability. Most of all it feels really safe to use - unlike most chainsaws which often cause the user to break out in a sweat or worry about chopping a limb off.The Alligator jaws clamp around the branch and then only when you have pressed the 2 safety switches (one on each handle) the saw quickly cuts through branhces up to 4 inches. I found the cut was actualy cleaner if you used less pressure on the handles. Having 2 switches means the blade will only work when your hands are away from the dangerous parts and if you drop it or lose grip it will stop instantly.Although the Alligator weighs about 4kg it is well balanced and does not feel heavy. If you dont have the stamina for prolonged sawing or want a fast easy job this is the tool for you.
