BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX* Garden Loppers Cordless Chainsaw, Loppers for Tree Trimming Heavy Duty (LLP120)

The BLACK+DECKER LLP120 20V MAX Garden Loppers Cordless Chainsaw combines traditional lopper jaws with motorized chain cutting power. Designed for clearing brush, trimming tree limbs, and cutting logs, this tool simplifies pruning tasks that would require heavy manual effort with standard shears.

At the core of the tool is a heavy-duty cutting bar and chain powered by a 20V MAX lithium battery, delivering up to 150 cuts of 1-1/2 inch branches per charge. Patented clamping jaws grab limbs and brush securely, allowing the scissor-action cutting bar to slice through branches up to 4 inches thick in one movement.

Operation relies on dual-hand switches that must both be actuated to cut, preventing accidental starting but preventing single-handed use. While it handles branches up to 4 inches thick, larger logs exceed its cutting capacity. Additionally, the listing does not state the battery charging time or overall tool weight.

Verdict: The BLACK+DECKER LLP120 is a practical choice for home yard maintenance and branch trimming. Its scissor-action clamping design and battery power make it ideal for anyone needing to slice through limbs up to 4 inches thick without manual strain.

A great fit if you:

• Need to cut tree limbs, brush, or logs up to 4 inches thick without manual shears.
• Want a cordless cutter capable of up to 150 cuts per charge on 1-1/2 inch branches.
• Prefer dual-hand safety switches to prevent accidental starts during yard work.

Consider something else if you:

• Need to cut logs or thick tree branches exceeding 4 inches in diameter.
• Require a single-handed cutting tool for one-handed operation.

How thick of a branch can this garden lopper cut?
The heavy-duty cutting bar and chain can cut limbs, brush, and logs up to 4 inches thick. The tool features patented clamping jaws that grab the wood so the scissor action can cut cleanly through the branch in one easy motion.

How many cuts does the battery provide on one charge?
The included 20V MAX lithium battery provides up to 150 cuts per charge when slicing through 1-1/2 inch diameter branches. It is designed to offer long battery life year after year for repeated yard trimming projects.

How does the tool prevent accidental starting?
Safety is built into the operation using dual-hand switches. Both switches must be actuated at the same time to start cutting, preventing accidental activation while carrying or positioning the lopper around limbs and brush.
