24" Pocket Chainsaw 3X Faster with Cutting Blade ON Every Link-Best Pocket Saw for Wood Cutting Outdoor Hiking Camping Survival Gear Garden Work with Pouch- Bonus Front Snap Carrying Case

The media could not be loaded. I was skeptical of these "Pocket Chainsaws" at first and wasn't sure if they would work at all.I wanted something small that I could pack into my hydration pack when riding my Mountain Bike to cut downed trees off the trail. I looked at Silky folding saws which I know work great but are expensive and this was cheap enough that it was worth taking a chance on it.I'm glad I did because it actually works really well. It's compact and comes with a pouch with a belt loop that I can keep in my camelbak pack without sacrificing my riding. My local trails I ride on has a rule that no one is allowed to use power tools, even trail crews and that includes battery operated saws. So we have to use something human powered only.Carried this around and tested it out on some smaller downed trees and it worked great. I will say it takes some getting used to and you have to figure out the technique as it can get hung up and stuck a lot otherwise. It seems to happen more on the really small branches like 2". I was able to cut a 6 inch wide tree without much issue and would say it is fine up to about 8' wide trees. The chain is only so long so you can't cut much bigger than that.I can't comment on the durability since I've not had it long but I imagine just like any other cutting tool you will have to sharpen it eventually. The straps seem to be attatched well and should hold up to use for a long while.The pouch it comes with is nice and holds it well.It's a nice little tool and just works. It's a great buy for the price for anyone looking to clear trees off trails or for camping, etc. that needs something very compact and cheap.Happy with my purchase and would recommend this tool to others.

Faster than hand saw when removing sturdy branches that aren’t big enough to use an electric chain saw on or for a someone not able to handle the weight of an electric chain saw on a ladder. Obviously much slower though.

This is the best hand saw! We love ours so much that we have a bunch of them (in cars, snowmachines, ATVs, etc) and we keep buying to given out as gifts. They are sharp and cut through trees easily. Great for cutting down Christmas trees and perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. They are small and lightweight, but strong and efficient.

If you don't understand basic physics or have the ability to throw a ball don't buy this.Now if you understand how a saw works and how forces work, and how to throw a ball you might do ok.I find the hardest part of using this is throwing the carry sack that I loaded with a small stone over the offending branch.I used some 5/16 nylon rope tied to each end as my pull ropes.I've cut through six 4-6.5" branches that were better than 15 feet up, too far for a poll saw.I didn't have much trouble getting the cutting side on the branch, I marked the sides of the nylon pulls so I could coax it to teeth side down.The teeth are sharp and cut both ways, I was quite surprised how quickly I cut through 6" branches. I only found one of the 6 cuts to be troublesome with the chain binding up. That said, use your brain, not your muscles or you will surely have a half cut branch with your $29 brand new saw stuck 15' up mocking you until the tree falls or you move.I got 6 branches down, and the tool likely will do another 6 if I don't abuse it. I suspect the life of the nylon straps, the chain, or the sharpness of the blades to last no more than 20 uses, which I think is reasonable considering the forces at play.Hope this helps.

I bought this for one job. I needed to trim a 4" diameter maple limb at a point about 20' up. This saw looked like it might do the job. I was lucky enough to get the saw chain rope rigged and oriented "cutters down" on the 1st try. By tying of one end of the rope off well away from the limb, the cutting angle was decreased so that binding was minimized at 1st. It was a slow process of walking back and forth and tugging on the rope line to produce the cut. As the saw kerf passed the center of the limb, the blades, as expected, began to jam in the kerf. At that point I roped the end of the limb and pulled. Success! the limb came down....on me. :) No injuries. Just a reminder to be careful and observant. This saw cuts well and seems pretty strong. I think its a great value for the money and a lot easier to carry than a saw.

I had a tree limb break the other day. So got the pole saw out to cut it down. Unfortunately the limb was too far up to reach with the pole saw and since the tree is located on sloped area, I did not believe it was prudent to use a ladder.So, got to wondering if there was another way to get to the limb. I of course went on line to see if there was something out there to help me get the limb down and found this pocket saw. It worked great for removing the limb. Basically I tied a length of light twine to a length of rope tied to one handle of the saw and a zip lock bag of sand on the other end of the twine. I pitched the sand bag over the limb, tied a rope to the other saw handle, and pulled the twine end til the saw blade was in place on the limb to be sawed.After the blade was in place, I had to twist the rope to get the saw blade aligned with the cutting teeth against the limb (this was the tricky part). Once in place, I got some exercise moving the blade against the limb until it fell onto the ground.Just a few suggestions: Be sure to wear safety goggles, a bike or similar helmet might also be recommended as well. Make sure you have left the rope ends long enough so you can stand well clear of where the limb will fall to assure you won't get hit by the limb.The tool worked well but was a little difficult to get the teeth lined up facing down onto the limb. Twisting the rope finally got the teeth lined up.At the end of the day I was glad to have found this tool and expect to have many opportunities to use the saw on some, if not all, of the 22 trees I have on property.
