Pocket Chainsaw Survival Gear and Supplies - Orange Strap Hand Chain Saw

This works great, is light to carry, and can save trails! Every hiker, mountain biker, and trail user should carry one. I have down 8” trunks with ease. Highly recommend!

The pocket chainsaw comes in an easy to carry and high quality bag that it can be stored in, which is super helpful so it isn't just sitting around in my backpack, especially after its been used as is covered in bits of tree and branch. The paracord handle is likely the most comfortable to use because of the back and forth pulling, so I'd recommend it over another the other options unless you have gloves. The blade itself is definitely sturdy and strong, but because it is only one-sided there were a couple times when it would get caught, especially towards the ends of branches when the blade would start to reach itself. Even still, it was sharp and easy enough to use that it would cut to a part where the branch or tree could easily be snapped or bent. It's not a necessity, but it is lightweight and fun to bring on a camping trip, and does its job super well! I even think about buying a second one, or maybe gifting one to my friend!

This is my first pull-chain style saw, so I cant compare to anything... but this thing is small but mighty. It isn't the lightest saw I've carried, but it more than makes up for it in the diameter of what it can cut. I can't speak to durability yet, but I ran it through a dozen 4" - 8" dry limbs and it handled everyone under 30 seconds with consistent pulling. I have not tested on wet wood yet, so we shall see. NOTE: This is not meant to be a "replacement for a 36" bar chain saw. The largest diameter I believe this would be effective to is 10", maybe 12" but that would be pushing it. The fact that I can coil it up and stuff it in the front of a bino harness means that you get a ton of cutting ability for not a lot of weight. If you are counting ounces then maybe keep to an aluminum folding saw or what have you, but this is my new go to if you don't mind a few more oz. I am very excited to be able to clear downed trees that otherwise would turn my pickup/atv back or spend the time axing through. This will make collecting firewood a breeze as well. The one thing to look out for while using these pull-chain type saws is that if you are sawing from a safe position (opposite of which way the tree/limb will fall) then the chain will get pinched in the kerf quite easily. So, you somewhat have to be in the line of fire for a while to use the chain without it binding. To avoid this, I would recommend getting 1/2 way thru on the lean side and then switch to the safe position and finish out the limb. Anyone with experience and common sense would figure this out, but for those brand new to this style saw (like i was) I thought this might help. Happy trails!

Sharp cuts quickly. I tied rope to handles and was able to cut oak limbs 30 foot up from the ground with ease

Ever go 4 wheeling off the trail and run into downed branched in the way? A bow saw is bulky and hard to secure. My first impression is it seems to be very well made and can get the job done in no time. Only time will tell if it holds up to my abuse. The case is well made and the bely loop is a plus. For now, 5 stars.

Few want to hassle with a large bow saw for cutting tree trunks in the back country. With the pocket chainsaw I can clear fallen trees from a back country bike trail, or I can make quick work of sawing small logs to length for a camp fire or for a bush craft table, etc. This compact saw easily fits into my bikepacking set-up so that it is with me when I need it. So easy to use and cuts quickly and efficiently. Much safer than swinging an ace, amd easier and lighter weight.

This was one of my more satisfying purchases. I had two branches about 25 feet up that were crowding out my dog woods. I saw a video of a lady using this in yard so I figured I would take a chance at the price. I attached a rock to a rope to get it over the limb, then tied each end of the saw to the rope. It all does take some finess and patience. I recommend using lighter tension on the rope as you saw so the teeth do not get stuck. And once you start sawing keep going. A word of caution from your Uncle Ger...don't stand directly below the branch you are cutting down. :) Both branches were down in less than an hour.

I am terrified of chainsaws, so this product appeared like a perfect solution for someone like me. With a little more work, I could accomplish the same goal of cutting down the small trees in my yard (4-6 inch diameter). However, I could not make this product work. I was able to get it started alright, and it effectively cut while it was going. However, without fail, it always managed to get stuck. Always. I eventually had to just abandon the cut and feed the blade back out of the slit. So, needless to say, I am pretty disappointed. I wish this would have worked. Update: I saw some videos where folks used wedges to keep the tree from pinching the blade and keeping it from sawing back and forth. So, I bet that's the solution to this problem. You need to wedge the slit as you go deeper to keep it propped up. I will add a star to my original review, because I think this issue has a fix.

Good product, does the job.

Look good on first inspection. Nice handles. And nice case.

Lookalike it’s good quality. For my Bug Out kit.

We recieved a clearly used item when it was meant to be new. The chain portion had leaves and moss stuck to it. The chain links are rusty and the cord is dirty and slightly frayed. Not what was expected! Returned.

Pour un prix qui se rapproche de 45$ c'est une arnaque. La publicité fait croire au client que la chaine mesure 36 pouces, en réalité c'est plus près de 25 pouces. Elle fait croire également qu'il y a 48 dents pour scier. La réalité est tout autre, il y a exactement 11 dents pour scier une branche. Il y a une dent à tout les 2 pouces. Je l'ai essayé pour une branche de 1,5 pouces et ça va bien. Pour une branche plus grosse avec seulement 11 dents au lieu de 48, ça doit faire une différence. Pour les petits travaux ça peut toujours servir, en camping peut être. L'étui ne ressemble en rien à la publicité. L'emballage était très ordinaire, un petit sac de plastique à l'intérieur duquel il y avait la pochette noire illustré ci-contre.
