WOLF-Garten Tree Lopper 7201004 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)1) The lopper cuts clean and effortlessly
2) The plastic pull handle supplied digs too deeply into the pull cord and is a chore to disengage although the manufacturer describes it as a "quick release" handle, I got so fed up with it that I switched over to the wooden handle from my Sears Craftsman pole pruner to the Wolf-Garten and ditched the Wolf-Garten handle.
3) One of the plated pivot bolts on the lopper started corroding badly within only a few months. I have been in constant contact with Wolf-Garten USA in trying to obtain a replacement and after several months am still awaiting the replacement bolt. They are quite frankly not very responsive and parts are as scarce as hens teeth.

Silky Straight Landscaping Hand Saw GOMTARO 300 Large Teeth (Pro-Sentei) 108-30 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On a volunteering event, I was introduced to this saw. I could only borrow it; even though after several uses, I wanted to take it home. I used the Silky Gomtaro for tree trimming at a park. The guy that recommended this particular brand to me, was working in the Tree Trimming department at our company. They have to trim trees year round. I refuse to buy an $8.00 handsaw when someone can purchase one of these....believe me, this will be the last you buy. Even though it's a bit more expensive, it is worth the quality of this saw. Not to mention, when trimming my own trees, I didn't have to work as hard as I would have with the cheap hand saw. The Silky, and I am sure ALL Silky saws cut like this one does. This is a decent size saw for taking down small to medium branches. I have had no issues, and I can attach it to my belt and climb with it without worrying about cutting myself. I recommend this saw to anyone.

Black & Decker FireStorm 18 Volt FS18RS Cordless Reciprocating Saw (Bare tool - No Battery) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really handy saw to have around, especially if you already have Black & Decker 18V slide-style batteries. I also have the Black & Decker 18V string trimmer, blower, hedge trimmer, jigsaw, and 2 drills, all of which I really like. It's nice to be able to use the same batteries for all my tools. Firestorm and Black & Decker 18V batteries are pretty much interchangeable, or at least the ones I have are. This recip saw does a good job cutting through tree limbs. I've used it to cut branches up to 4" in diameter, and it worked just fine. And it works well on 2x4's too.
You could buy a more powerful saw, but you would either have to deal with the inconvenience of the power cord, or the added expense of buying different batteries and charger if you went with the Dewalt for example. To buy a Dewalt 18V will run you $200.00 for a kit with a battery and charger. No thanks! I don't need to demolish buildings or cut through 1/8" think steel, so my Firestorm recip saw will do just fine.

Black & Decker NLP1800 Alligator Lopper 18-Volt Cordless Chain Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Silky HOOK-FOX Accessory For Landscaping Pole Saws HAYATE HAYAUCHI LONGBOY & ZUBAT 425-01 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Hook Fox can mount to a Silky pole saw in two ways: across the short axis of the pole saw (for all saws except the Hayauchi) or through the long axis (which is required for the Hayauchi). The hook itself is made of two separate, stamped, and plated sections, held together with rivets. The bolt holes that must be used when mounting the hook to the Hayauchi are formed from the two halves, and are simply pinched together by the rivets about 1/2" away from the holes (the three rivets in a row). On mine, this caused, after not what I would consider extraordinary use, the nuts to pull through the holes, spreading the two halves of the hook apart, popping those rivets nearest to the holes. This caused the holes (really two halves of holes, as I've explained) to become deformed, and I can not re-attach the hook in the intended fashion.
It's a silly design flaw, and I'm sure this explains why, even though this hook is supposed to fit all of the Silky pole saws, they make a separate hook for the Hayauchi alone, which is not formed from two pieces. Unfortunately, that other hook does not have the returns on the top side, which are useful for pushing branches or rope.
Silky Saws are great, but this particular design is very disappointing.

Corona Clipper TP 6850 14-Foot Compound Action 1-1/4-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the 3rd or fourth tree pruner I've owned, and I'd never get any other. I have previously used and wore out a gas-powered and an electric drive chain pruner. This Corona is batter than all of them.
The extra length of the pole is critical. With this pruner I can reach all the tree limbs I used to get from standing at the top of a ladder and then using a pole pruner.
The blade is incredibly sharp. It cuts straight through branches that my power pruners used to wheeze and struggle with. Using this Corona is also faster than any other pruner I've had. I think that's also a result of the sharpness.
The chain pull-mechanism (as opposed to a rope and pulley) works beautifully. I expect that's another component in why this is easier and faster to use. Once in a while, the chain loops around itself and jams, but that's rare, and is probably a result of the way I manipulate the pruner around branches.
I am a VERY heavy and high volume user of pruners. I wear them out, or they fall apart, or their motors burn out. But not this one! There's no sign of wear and tear. I recommend this tool to anyone who is serious about trimming and pruning their own trees.

Silky 179-39 Telescoping Landscaping Pole Saw HAYAUCHI 390 21-Feet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent significant time researching extension pole saws that I could use to prune the many hard and softwood trees on my property without incurring the expense of a professional tree company. I was impressed by the 21' Silky Hayauchi but very skeptical about its ability to cut branches at this distance off the ground. I was also skeptical of my ability at age 66 to physically handle this saw at such an extreme height. I called the Silky Store and spoke to a representative regarding my concerns. They advised that I would not experience any problems as long as I engaged the double locking system on each pole extension and allowed the saw to do the work. They explained that the blade was designed to cut only on the pull stroke and that gravity would provide most of the required cutting force. The effort required on the push stroke would be minimal since no cutting occurs on the up stroke. Based on their advice and the Silky guaranty I purchased the 21' Hayauchi pole saw. I received it in 2 days! I was totally amazed with the incredible performance of this very high quality saw. I easily cut large limbs at least 20' or more off the ground. The guideance received from the Silky Store representative combined with my actual experience with this superior quality tool was very impressive. I intend to purchase additional Silky saws from the Silky Store.

The Hayauchi pole saw has rigid aluminum poles that quickly extend to desired cutting length. The base pole has a comfortable rubber grip. The extension lock with spring loaded buttons at the end of each length. The nearly 16-inch blade not only sports the largest teeth available in a razor tooth design, but has a sharpened base and tip for scoring the branch, to avoid ripping damage to the branch collar. The upper sickle is used to cut vines; the lower one - to undercut bark allowing a clean cut without damaging the tree. The aluminum alloy extension pole is oval shaped, giving precise control to the direction of the saw blade (especially important for high cutting) and also giving strength and rigidity to the pole, reducing bending to the minimum. Push buttons allow multiple length adjustments and safety clamps hold the extensions firmly in place. A rubber hand-grip ensures good hold and control. The blade is adjustable for lower or higher cutting.Replacement parts list (340K pdf file)Product Features: 3-Extensions (4 poles) model that extends to 21 feetExtension range 7'-8" to 21' Maximum working reach 25 feet 15.35" (390mm) length chrome plated blade with 5.5 teeth per inch (6.5 teeth per 30mm) Approximate weight 6.73lbg (3000g) A lightweight and rigid aluminum oval shaped pole Double lock system insures your safety while working Comes with its own full length, hard plastic scabbard Limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanshipDo not use this item near electrical hazards.

Black & Decker 6-Inch Replacement Saw Chain RC600 (For LP1000 and NLP1800 Alligator Loppers) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had to replace my chain once so far and found it impossible to find them locally. Some online prices and availability are OK but the shipping really dings you. I found one online hardware site that had reasonable shipping plus a decent discount so I bought two replacements there. My original chain's life was shortened somewhat by letting someone else borrow the Alligator (they got some dirt in the chain by cutting too close to the ground) as well as my cutting of some trees that were in excess of 6" in diameter. I have no real complaints about the quality just the price and availability. I still think the Alligator is a fantastic tool.

Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper 4.5 amp Electric Chain Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a small gas-powered chain saw and also a gas-powered pole saw. The chain saw is heavy to hold up and I didn't need to use the pole saw for most of my pruning. Based on the reviews, I decided to give this product a try. This tool works really great! It's not super heavy and you don't have to mess with gas since it's electric powered. I've been using mine to trim oleanders with some branches 4" thick with no problems. Even with ratchet loppers, it's not always possible to cut the thicker branches and the Alligator Lopper solves this problem. You do have to put oil into a small covered hole but you have to oil and chain saw device. The jaws shield the cutters while closed so it's pretty safe to use.

Black & Decker's Power Saws -- Driven by Quality Black & Decker offers both cordless and electric chain saws, including the Alligator Lopper electric chain saw and 18-volt cordless chain saws. Chain saws feature powerful motors for fast cutting and a sturdy, lightweight design that makes them exceptionally easy to use.
The Alligator Lopper Makes Cutting a Breeze Take a big bite out of fallen trees, tree limbs and brush with the Alligator Lopper -- a revolutionary cutting tool that provides chainsaw-like cutting performance in an un-intimidating tool. With its scissor-like action, the Alligator Lopper’s rugged metal jaws clamp onto logs, thick branches, tree limbs, and vines -- and then saw right through them. Once limbs and branches are on the ground, the Alligator Lopper is perfect for chopping them up into manageable pieces to throw away or chuck into your fireplace.
This amazing saw boasts a rugged 4.5 amp motor for fast, powerful chomping through wood -- plus a heavy-duty cutting bar and chain to really chew through dense branches and logs. This model also features auto chain tensioning to keep the tool 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.
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 they immediately snap back over the blades once the cut is complete. The Alligator Lopper’s jaws also mean that there's no skipping around at the start of a cut. Unlike traditional chainsaws, the lopper cuts side-to-side instead of from top to bottom. This sideways cutting action prevents the cutting chain from burying itself in the dirt as the chain completes its cut.
The Alligator Lopper also makes it much faster and easier to cut logs, because you'll never need to prop them up on saw horses or on other any other brace. Just grab the logs in the Alligator Lopper’s jaws and cut right through them.
Key Technical Specs: Power: 4.5 amps Bar length: 6 inches Jaw capacity: 4 inches
Applications The Alligator Lopper is ideal for tree pruning, clearing brush, storm clean-up, cutting firewood and more, and it’s a great alternative to chainsaws, manual loppers, handsaws and clippers.
