I should add, in case there are multiple products like this, that I'm interested in something to cut dead limbs up that have fallen in my yard for kindling. I have some huge Poplars and lots of limbs from 1" to 3" that make excellent kindling but get kind of hard to break cleanly into kindling length pieces. I usually try to break them over my knee but they can be tough.
Black and Decker makes one called the alligator. Think this is what you are talking about.

That one is battery powered, which makes me a bit nervous about "working time" - I think I've seen a similar item that was AC powered at Home Despot or equivalent... Of course the other option might be to consider a pair of good old fashioned manual limb loppers - you can get them with up to a 3" capacity, some with various forms of lever or ratcheting action to reduce the effort... It's what I use for my small stuff, and works pretty well. Far less money, and probably easier / safer / faster than the power tool...
