Black&Decker Alligator GKC1000L Battery-powered Manual Pruner - 18 V 2Ah Battery

The Alligator GKC1000L battery-powered hand pruner is equipped with a dual safety handle that greatly increases safety and user-friendliness during use.

The cutting systems is provided with a 10 cm bar that allows cutting branches with a max. diameter of 100 mm. The systems is protected by a patented jaws that protects the Operator and holds the branch after cutting.

It is a battery-powered electric pruner, a perfect and ideal tool for those who like to take care of their garden.

It is virtually maintenance-free and its light weight (only 3 Kg) makes it very easy to handle for household cutting operations.

Just press the buttons on the handle at the same time to avoid any accidental starting for operating the unit.

The 18 V 2Ah battery and battery charger are included.

The Li-Ion batteries ensure many advantages:

- no more power cables
- no exhaust gases
- exceptional silence
- handling and comfort of use.

The double ergonomic handle is rubber-coated, thus reducing vibration and increasing convenience of use.

Focus on the patented jaws that holds the branches.

Focus on the grip locking system, convenient for storage.

The lopper is equipped with self-lubricating system.

Furthermore, its compact size and low weight (only 3 Kg) eliminates every effort during use.

Main technical features:

• Voltage: 18 V
• Bar length: 10 cm;
• Weight (without battery): 2.6 Kg
• Weight with battery: 3 Kg

The 4” bar with 1/4'’ chain.

Technical data:

• Bar length: 4" / 10 cm
• Chain: 1/4’’ – 42 links

The 18 V lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time (just like the batteries of mobile phones, no memory effect) so it is always ready to use. It lasts an average of 3 times more than a normal battery.

Main advantages of the electric motor:

• More reliable than a petrol engine. No spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburettors, etc. or components which can cause problems.
• Much lighter
• Zero maintenance
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engines (great results with minimal power required). Moreover, the Operator won’t have to refuel (the fuel should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations, thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all engine-powered machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibrations, making the work quite unpleasant.
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the Operator’s health.
• Much more silent and therefore pleasant to use than a petrol engine model.

BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED

LONGER LIFE: up to 3 times higher than the nickel–cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY LIFE: the charge of the lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, which power gradually decreases, lithium-ion batteries’ cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. The same charge for the entire cycle without reducing the motor speed. The battery is running at full power until its complete exhaustion.

LONGER CHARGE LIFE: lithium-Ion batteries last 3-4 times longer than traditional Nickel-Cadmium batteries and their power storage lasts longer so they lose less power. Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged up to 2000 times!

LIGHTWEIGHT: lithium-ion batteries have the best power-weight rate. They weigh 1/3 of nickel-cadmium ones.

ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY: lithium-ion battery-powered tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect. Indeed, they don't fail to provide maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
Few minutes of charge are enough to complete the work.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: low run down rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your lawn mower will be ready to use even after months of storage.

BATTERY CHARGER: lithium-ion batteries chargers reduce energy consumption by an average of 35%.
