Just ok,

This review is from: Black & Decker NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18-Volt Cordless Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)
This item, Black & Decker NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18-Volt Cordless Chain Saw, has lots of potential. It cuts the branches well, even fairly thick ones.
The problems: 1) Battey life...easy fix, get a spare battery... 2) requires frequet oiling 3) This is the worst problem I see, but possible a deal break: the top chain guard can very easily get postioned were it rubs the chain, creating wear and eating a whole in the guard.. Overall: I would say worth $75-99, but would not give over $100 for it again untill the above bugs are corrected.

B&D Alligator Lopper,

This review is from: Black & Decker NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18-Volt Cordless Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)
It is great for pruning, especially in "overgrown" hedges, etc. The ability to cut between branches without damaging the branches on the back side of the chain is critical. It is nice to be able to just switch it on and off without having to restart an engine. It is extremely quick and quiet. Oiling is a minor problem.

B&D Alligator Lopper - Fun and Functional!,
By
This review is from: Black & Decker NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18-Volt Cordless Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)
After hurricane winds knocked down my tree, a neighbor brought over her Electric B&D Alligator to help. It did such a great job in the short time she was there, I knew it was a tool to add to my collection! The only drawback was that, due to the storm damage, limbs were everywhere and repositioning/getting enough reach with the extension cord was a little difficult.
Since purchasing the B&D 18-Volt Cordless Lawncare Center earlier this year, I have built up 5 interchangeable batteries and was SO EXCITED to be able to buy a CORDLESS version. I cut up the rest of my tree (excluding the trunk) with my new cordless alligator - some branches were just over four inches! Battery life was 40-50 mins depending on the size of the branches. The cordless version was a bit more expensive than the electric lopper. So if you don't already have several batteries from other tools, it might be better to save the $$ and go corded. Overall it was a great investment and puts my family's mind at ease because it is so much safer than a traditional chain saw!
