LLP120B
Description
The BLACK & DECKER Bare 20V MAX Lithium Ion Alligator Lopper Saw is ideal for cutting limbs up to 4" in Diameter, limb and branch pruning and great for storm clean-up. This bare-tool unit is compatible with 20V Lithium battery, providing up to 150 1-1/2" diameter cuts per charge and long battery life year after year (battery and charger not included).
The I have bought other B&D 20V yard tools that are great and this uses the same batteries. I have a small Husqy gas chain saw and the B&D 20V pole saw (another super B&D tool!) for tree work. I bought the Alligator for limbing and also hoped it would be able to munch through into light brush piles reducing thin branches several at a time for easier disposal instead needing to cut them with a lopper one at a time. When I first got it, I almost returned it, but I'm happy I kept it. After getting used to it, I've really come to appreciate its utility and safety.
PROs: It cuts 2-3" limbs effortlessly. The 20V battery has lots of power and will cut just about all the wood and brush that I care to clean up in one session. The chain holds it's tension well and doesn't need tightening very often.
Very safe to use because the chain is covered and there's a safety switch on both handles.
Before you buy the BLACK+DECKER LLP120B, consider the following: CONs:
Need to keep steady pressure on both safety switch pads or it stops. It's a bit awkward to use until you get used to it. Tends to pull soft or green small branches into the chain gear and jam.
Battery snap-in latch mechanism is too tight; it often takes two hands just to release the battery latch and to lock the fresh battery in place.
The plastic oil bottle provided is a messy waste of time. Get an old-fashioned metal oiler. There should be a better way to verify that adequate oil is aboard. Directions say to re-oil after 10 minutes of cutting, but with cuts taking just a few seconds each, 10 minutes of cutting is not easy to estimate. Has a heavy-duty cutting bar and chain quickly cut branches and logs up to 4 in. thick and the patented clamping jaws grab and cut limbs and brush in one easy motion. This featured scissor-action makes cutting branches effortless. For safety purposes, the dual-hand switches must be actuated for cutting to prevent accidental starting. Included Components: LLP120B Alligator® Lopper, Battery and charger not included; Power Source: Cordless
