Thanks.
Hi All,
Can anyone suggest where I can get an electric saw similar to this,
Thanks.
As I have said before, I have been very pleased indeed with one of these:
This is very good for shrubs and trimming small trees; the practical limit is about 2.5 inches. It is actually light enough to use with one hand; although this is deprecated, this plus the absence of a trailing wire mean it copes well in tight spaces.
just might not be as quick. Or just buy a box saw...
Use a normal handsaw?
Box saw? WTF did that come from. Bow saw...

Try searching for alligator saws, that's certainly the name DeWalt use for them. The B&D seem to have something similar under the scorpion saw name.
suggestions?
If Googling look for Alligator saw. There's a very similar looking DeWalt saw for £200ish.
No, as they're horrible things.
Far better is the Black & Decker Alligator chainsaw. This isn't the usual chainsaw, it's a scissor arrangement that makes it safer than either a normal chainsaw or a reciprocating saw. Although it does limit it to 4" or less. They do mains or cordless, but I've not tried the cordless. It's my main saw for pruning, bucking and firewood (If I'm near power). I'm also chainsaw ticketed, but I don't use one if I can avoid it.
I thought they were the usual B&D gimmicky rubbish when they first came out. but for pruning they are safe, quiet and very easy to use (1) i have the cordless type, (1) when compared with the one handed chainsaw which it replaces for most jobs.

Same here. Dad bought one. He then dismantled it and lost the bits (you know how they are when they get to that age). Fortunately I bothered to re-instate it (new drive sprocket, the rest I machined up) and found that it was actually really good.
Agreed.

Is this what you want.....
I bought something similar as a present for SWMBO's 60th birthday.
She loves it. It's been really useful for lopping the council's 'hedge' that grows over our back fence - in reality they have up to 3" branches.
