| Price : $98.79 | Post Date : Dec 26, 2011 03:42:48 The Alligator Lopper's wide 4-inch jaw capacity easily chews through small trunks and logs. |
 Because the Alligator Lopper cuts side-to-side instead of up and down, the chain won't bury itself in the ground when the cut is completed -- saving wear and tear on the cutting surface. |
 The Alligator Lopper's controlled, smooth cutting action makes clean-up from storms or simple pruning easy, safe, and fast. |
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.

Safety Gear
Before attempting to use any powered equipment, it is important to first be dressed for it. When using hedge trimmers, heavy work gloves should be worn. This will not only protect the hands from bug bites, scrapes and scratches, it will also likely prevent blisters from forming on the hands. Other items that should be worn include safety goggles or glasses and steel-toed shoes. Wear long sleeves and long pants as well.
Purpose
Before using the hedge trimmers, the user should size up the bush and decide on a plan of action. Predetermine the amount of excess growth that should be taken off the top and sides of the plants. This will likely prevent over-pruning and limb damage.
Surroundings
Before getting started, be sure that the hedges in question are the property of the person doing the trimming. If not, permission should be given. As with a haircut, trimming bushes cannot be undone. The length can only grow back with time. If the hedge trimmer is an electric model, find a sturdy extension cord with no breaks or cracks in it. Use an electrical outlet compatible with the voltage required for the equipment. Canvas the area for puddles of water and do not attempt to use electrical components in the rain or snow.
Preparation
To start the project, put on all safety gear. Clear the area of any children and pets. Look over the bush and make sure there are no birds or wildlife in it. If there are, wait until they leave before proceeding with the project. If the bushes are extremely overgrown and contain multiple types of plants and vines, separate out and remove the vines before continuing. Watching out for thorns, untangle the vines and use hand pruners to cut the vines as close to their roots as possible. They can be pulled out in pieces when care is taken not to damage the bush. If possible, the bottom of the vines should be removed by their roots to avoid regrowth. Use heavy pruners to remove any young trees growing through the bushes. Survey the bush from all directions and create a plan. Plug in or fuel up the hedge trimmers before beginning the project.
Trimming
Start on one end of the hedges and, using a sweeping motion, begin trimming. Keep the strokes even in depth and length so that the bush will be uniform when it is finished. Do not go deeper than outskirts of the bushes allow, as the caliper of the branches and twigs get thicker the closer they are to the base.
Aftermath
Once the project is complete, clean up all debris and dispose of it properly. Recycle or compost any material, rather than putting it in the trash. Disconnect any electrical components. Wipe down the equipment and remove any twigs or pieces of debris from it. Do not leave the hedge trimmers outside in the weather.

There are four Essential Japanese Gardening Tools needed to create a serene space. Every gardener who understands that lifelong quality tools are better than cheaper tools that will need to be replaced every couple of years will appreciate using the quality and affordability of Japanese tools.
Japan has a centuries old tradition of blending nature, beauty, and creativity. In order to create these living works of art, the perfect tools have been sought after and developed as well.
Here is a short list of essential Japanese garden tools:
Japanese Hand Pruners
These razor sharp blades are used in world famous gardens. In Japan, these hand pruners are probably the most used tool in a gardener's repertoire. These reliable hand pruners are some of the strongest clippers on the market, and they also retain their clean cutting edge for years. Japanese hand pruners, such as the Okatsune brand, compete with other familiar brands such as Felco. They are professional quality, life-long garden companions, and an affordable price.
Japanese Shears
These shears are probably the second most important tool in order to create the beautiful tamamono mounds and hedges found in Japanese gardens. These blades smooth and swift and allow you to prune for hours because of their lightweight.
Often when people think of gardens in Japan they have an image of a large bonsai-like sculpted pine tree. However, when you truly look at a garden you will notice that although specimen trees are appreciated, they only fit into the scene smoothly because of the finely sheared background trees and tamamono blob-shaped bushes. You can even have a beautiful and natural Japanese-style garden without specimen trees, but you can't have one without the sheared background mounds. Don't neglect the importance of Japanese hedge shears.
Essential Japanese Garden Tools, Pt. 2 is a continuation of an earlier blog written about the some of the basic tools needed in the Japanese Garden. We are continuing this because one of our most often questions is "What type of tools are needed for Japanese gardening, and are they any different from western tools?"
The latter part of that question can be summed up with a big YES, they are different. Japanese gardens have been around for centuries and the development of the perfect tools to create these works of art has also been an ongoing process that surpasses most western tools. The average tool sold at the hardware store and big-box store has been dumbed down because of the average brute force used with many garden tools.
The beauty of Japanese gardens lies in the precision and detail given to the pruning and maintenance of the gardens. The following are often overlooked Essential Japanese Garden Tools:
Japanese Hand Saws
From my experience in gardening in Japan I have found that these straight-handled Japanese hand saws work best for me. This is mostly do to the fact that I often have to climb up in the trees and prune. With a fixed blade I can reach for it, unbutton it from its wooden sheath, and use it with only one hand, allowing me to keep one hand for balancing in the tree. The folding saws are also well-made made and more compact. You also have to take into consideration that, yes, you will look like a cowboy with the fixed blade style strapped to your waist!
One of the main reasons that these are essential Japanese garden tools though is that unlike western made hand saws they work on the pull, not the push. It takes a few times to get use to, but you will find that more technique is involved with the pulling stroke, as opposed to the forceful push stroke.
The Sickle, or Kama in Japanese
Believe it or not Japanese gardens do not use weed barriers or plastic liners. Even though they are often weedless with a perfectly smooth cover of moss or in a rock garden, artificial environmentally unfriendly products such as chemical sprays and plastic liners are not used. These gardens are weeded.
Japanese sickles, or Kamas, are used to weed the gardens and again, work on the pull. Technique triumphs over strength and a soft pull inward is all that is needed. Many times home gardens are weeded almost daily and you never get the build up of strong weeds. The garden needs to become a part of your life. If 5 minutes a day were given to light weeding and exploring your garden, you would be both weed free and have a new healthy routine to add to your lifestyle.
Although these Kamas may be more popular as being part of a Karate demonstration, they were originally intended to be used as everyday weeding and harvesting tools. Because they were a common everyday item used by gardeners and farmers, a natural method of self-defense was devised using them. Make the Japanese sickle a part of your everyday experience.
We use them daily, as people have for centuries, so we can attest to their durability, ease of use, and affordability. Whether you are maintaining a Japanese garden or an English garden, superior quality is superior quality.
