Chainsaw Garden Tools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The B & D Alligator Lopper Cuts with Power

— May 19, 2010 — Art & Design
Whether you're trimming your backyard trees or cutting paper for your origami class, the Black & Decker Alligator Lopper, a shears-chainsaw hybrid, will not only do the trick, but will do it with a cool-looking alligator logo directly on the blade. What more could any stay-at-home mother ask for?

This electric set of steal jaws runs on a 4.5 amp power motor for powerful fast cutting. And with a 4" cutting capacity combined with the easy grip and scissor action, the Alligator Lopper makes for one handy little chainsaw.

I'd say it's about time FL State got a new mascot: the Black & Decker Alligator Lopper.
Trend Themes
1. Electric Garden Tools - There is an opportunity for companies to innovate and create more electric garden tools, combining two functions in one, such as shears and chainsaws.
2. Jaw Cutting Mechanism - By creating tools that mimic the Black & Decker Alligator Lopper's jaw cutting mechanism, companies can create a unique selling point and carve out a brand name for themselves.
3. Branded Garden Tools - Companies can differentiate themselves from competitors and increase brand recognition by incorporating logos or mascots onto their garden tools, similarly to how the Alligator Lopper incorporated an alligator logo on the blade.
Industry Implications
1. Gardening - Companies in the gardening industry can benefit from creating unique and innovative tools that combine two functions in one, like the shears-chainsaw hybrid of the Alligator Lopper.
2. Power Tools - The use of a 4.5 amp power motor in the Alligator Lopper suggests an opportunity for disruption in the power tools industry to create tools with more power and improved cutting capabilities.
3. Hardware - Hardware companies can capitalize on the branded garden tool trend by incorporating logos or mascots onto their products to increase brand recognition and stand out from competitors.
