Make your own Texas Electric Chainsaw Massacre

$70.53 shipped

From the Manufacturer
Take a big bite out of fallen trees, tree limbs and brush with the Alligator Lopper, a revolutionary new cutting tool that provides chainsaw-like cutting performance in an un-intimidating and easy to use tool. With its scissor-like action, the Alligator Lopper?s rugged metal jaws clamp onto logs and thick branches, as well as smaller tree limbs and vines and then saws through them with ease. Once limbs and branches are on the ground, the Alligator Lopper is perfect for chopping them up into manageable pieces to throw away or into your fireplace. The Alligator Lopper is ideal for tree pruning, clearing brush, storm clean-up, cutting firewood and more, and is a great alternative to chainsaws, manual loppers, handsaws and clippers. The Alligator Lopper?s jaws offer the ultimate in controlled cutting. The rugged metal guards that cover the jaws protect you from the cutting chain and immediately snap back over the blades once the cut is complete. The Alligator Lopper?s jaws also mean it does not skip around like chainsaws when starting to cut. The Alligator Lopper cuts side-to-side instead of from top to bottom as with traditional chainsaws. This sideways cutting prevents burying the cutting chain in the dirt as the chain cuts though, which can quickly dull a regular chainsaw. The Alligator Lopper also makes it much faster and easier to cut logs since you don?t have to prop them up on saw horses or other logs. Just grab them in the Alligator Lopper?s jaws and cut right through. The Alligator Lopper?s auto chain tensioning keeps it in top cutting form. Just loosen the bar retainer bolts with the included wrench and the bar automatically takes out the slack and adjusts the chain?s tension perfectly.

Perfect timing -- my Sister's alligators really need lopping! :)

Insanely, I am -really- thinking of sending this to my 66yo sister in Winter Park, FL. She bought a small chainsaw after the carnage of 3 hurricanes (1.5 years ago?). This can only handle 4" branches, but... the thought of her -- quite competent, but still a Social Princess of the wealthy set -- handling that chainsaw gives me the willies; this, on the other hand, seems much safer.

Edit: Done... her alligator's will be loplanders.... I expect she'll want a generator to drive this as well, alas: she had 3+ weeks w/o power that year == 2 weeks in hotel + 1+ weeks with 200' extension cords to the neighbors who'd broken down and bought a mega-generator.
