★With summer comes to an end, I decided to clean up big at the edges of the garden, mainly of silver birch trees and conifers consists of old. After a general cleaning to the borders of the grass and finally to the borders of the way was clear enough so that I could reach the low-hanging branches.
Some questions in the stores, where the harvest, so that the fence in Excel, where in some places had been damaged, the panel must be replaced by those 3rd To avoid further damage, let alone the garden a sense of form, harmony and general cleaning, I decided to cut in the main branch key.
After considering the purchase of a chainsaw, chose not to take for all a on the general factor of all the fear of use! It was also clear to me that the additional cost was for personal protective equipment such as Kevlar pants, jacket, hat and glasses. I already had safety shoes, so that was no problem.
The controls in the industrial sector gave an average diameter of 4cm and not too thick, there were many branches to cut, and I mean many – probably in the region of two or less. For those of you who have ever used a bow saw a couple of hundreds of branches, then I think you understand my fear with this method!
So a trip to my local hardward / DIY meant that I ran into the Black & Decker Alligator Lopper, looking for a beautiful garden tools, if it ever book. The best way to describe it would be a cross between a garden shears and a power chain saw, a crocodile and a bird of prey, and I hope the idea.
The safety aspect is because the string is enclosed in the outer edges, with a bar much safer than 10 cm in length with a slope of 1 / 4. It is the quietest of tools exist, but when you consider that the use of which would then not really expected something different, it is recommended with all power tools, ear, and it was not that different. The weight is acceptable, although I take a break every twenty small branches more or less.
Maintenance is easy, simply unscrew the oil Add the chain, I had about a dozen times during the duration of the work day, not bad, given the workload.
In short, just under $ 250. 00 I received my "fair use" of Alligator Loppers now, and although it is not something used every day in the garden, I can certainly see, quickly becoming a tool that matter, I would never dig for the old , looked rusty shed arches and the difficult task of pruning the branches will start manually.
Without doubt, the thumbs up from me! Read more...
