BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX* Battery Fast Charger, (LCS40)

For whatever reason my old B&D charger was not charging the new B&D battery—both were appropriate to each other. This is working very well,. Not the charger or battery fault, but I can use neither since the trimmer gave out after a 10 second whir once the new battery was installed.

I had never heard of an Alligator Lopper let alone what it was used for, BUT it is a must have item if you care for your own garden. I had a troublesome tree that was sprouted due to birds or squirrels dropping seeds. Every other year I paid the garden a few hundred dollars to trim it back, but since the beginning of Covid I neglected to have the tree trimmed, so there was 5 years worth of growth. I chose the B&D 20v Lopper due to owning several other B&D 20v tools, so I had batteries already charged when the lopper arrived. I unpacked the lopper inserted a battery and it took me 30+ minutes to completely cut down the tree. It took me a month to get rid of the branches and leaves, but that because I ran out of trashcans. The lopper is very safe to use with no kickback or vibration when using. You must use both hands and squeeze the start buttons on both sides in order to keep the lopper going, so there is no danger of injuring yourself. The lopper is lightweight, but takes care of business quick and efficient. I wish I would have own one 10+ years ago.
