I am more than willing to cut to the chase for this review: the Black & Decker LP1000 Alligator Lopper is very good at what it does, and may be perfect for folks who don’t need an actual chainsaw.

Although I live and breathe chainsaws (hence the website), I realize they are not necessarily for everyone.

Some people are intimidated by them.  Some people don’t feel comfortable using one.   And many people just don’t need one.

But honestly everyone should own one of these.  Yes, I mean everyone!  You too!

There are some limitations of this lopper.  I will cover those in a minute.  There are certain jobs around the house that only a chainsaw can do.  But if you use this thing for what it’s intended, there actually isn’t a better product in the market.

The ECHO CS-590 started production in 2013, while the ECHO CS-590 Timber Wolf started in 2014. The Timber Wolf won the won the Dealers Choice Award from Power Equipment Trade magazine.

If you’re like me, you’ve never heard of Earthwise chainsaws. Most folks say the same thing, since the Earthwise brand hasn’t been around very long.  I think they launched around 2006. I’ll try to give you a bit of the history for Earthwise, and talk a bit about their background in addition to covering the saw itself.  I think you’ll find the company has been around awhile.

The point of this review is to focus on the Earthwise LCS35814 14” cordless chainsaw. I’ll be providing an in-depth review of how the product feels, performs, and its features. While I’m at it, I’ll also review the WEN 40417 16″ cordless chainsaw, since it’s a comparable alternative to the Earthwise.  As you’ll see, the WEN is more of a bargain, but has slightly different features and characteristics.
