Pocket Chainsaw 36’’-45 Two-sidedTeeth Pocket Chain Saw,3X Faster with Cutting Blade ON Every Link,Best Compact Folding Hand Saw Tool for Survival Gear,Camping,Hunting

I ordered this for high branches and possibly thick logs. For household use and also camping and hiking. I do some trail maintenance so it seemed it would be useful.I noticed that it is very sharp, so be careful and I recommend using gloves to operate it.It seems to work better with gravity helping. So, it doesn't seem as useful when the tree or log is at or below hip height.it can bind up if you've used it a lot in green or wet wood. So you'll want to maintain it--use a stiff cloth to clean it and keep it oiled. I think it's probably going to be easier to clean it and oil it if you hang the straps from a hook or branch at about head height.The fire starting kit works just fine and threw sparks after I got the coating scraped off. Out of the package, I also noticed that the black paracord for this kit makes it hard to locate where it's at inside the holster / package. So I replaced the black cord with black & white paracord, and this makes it easier to see everything and stay organized.I also tied a loop around the belt hook and used an S-clip or caribiner to clip it to my belt, so I wouldn't lose it when outdoors. This is a recommended convenience if you don't want to attach it directly to your belt via the included loop. However, I found it easiest to remove the holster from my belt when packing or unpacking the saw.Using the saw is pretty interesting, it's a good workout for your back and feels similar to doing standing rows if you've done that kind of workout before. It's also very long, so you can use a lot of chain for a single pull.I was also happy to see that it's double-sided, so it doesn't really matter which side you happen to be using.Overall I'm very satisfied with the product, and would recommend it if you are looking for this type of chain-style portable saw.

The quality of this product is surprisingly good and I am glad I picked this one in particular. The ropes are very strong and smooth, last one is important so that they don't get stuck in the trees or vines growing on trees (paracord will get tangled up). The chain is sharp and works great, I cut down several large branches that were growing towards the roof of my house. The throwing bag is really heavy duty and it is lined on the inside (kind of like a dry bag). I filled it with sand and it worked great that way. The higher you go the harder it gets to throw this over a branch. It does take some patience but it gets the job done. The gloves are very good too and your hands will thank you for them! I didn't use the nylon handles, I just wrapped the rope around my hands. We even cut down a larger tree with a chainsaw and used the rope that comes in this set to pull the tree in another direction from which is was leaning too. That alone was worth the money in my book. I can really recommend this set.

This little chain saw is a wonderful idea in most situations. It has cutters on both sides, which is great if you have to use a throw-rope to get to high branch and have no control over which side it lands on. This eliminates the problem of having to try to flip it over. Once yo get it in position, the saw works almost effortlessly, as the cutting teeth will quickly grab the wood and chisel out a rut that keeps it from rolling. If the branch or limb is not more than 5or 6 inches thick, it cuts through it with very little resistance. If you're trying the cut through a bigger limb, you apparently have zero understanding of basic physics and shouldn't be standing directly under a limb you are trying to remove that is heavy enough to kill you when it falls on you. If you are one of those people who cannot comprehend cause and effect,don't buy this manual chainsaw.I like mine and used it to clear out a lot of excess tree branches and limbs in my back yard. The only problem I had with it was in order to reach the higher branches, you have to use a throw rode to loop over that branch, then afix the handles to that to hoist it up. This works to make an 'extension' on the saw to accommodate the extra height.I'm almost 70 and just don't have the "ooomph" to throw the weighted rope that high over my head. So I had to ask a neighborhood teenager to do that part for me.This brought me to the second reason not to give 5 stars...he thought it was so cool, that he came back later and stole it.But I guess that might be considered a high rating too! Lol.Buy it, it's a worthwhile tool.

Best thing works awesome I use it in the trails while driving around in my UTV many trees fall across and this cuts through it way quicker than my bucksaw and takes up minimal space
