I don't want to get on the ladder to cut that limb.
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.

Great compact affordable alternative to expensive folding saws.
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.

Best money I've spent on a tool in a while...
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.

Light, sharp, strong
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.

Excellent purchase.
Picked this saw up for use while hiking, mountain biking, or camping. Today we came upon a tree down blocking the trail while riding. It was a perfect opportunity to try the saw out and I was very impressed. I cut through this 6-8 inch tree in less than 10 minutes. It is definitely worth the money. One of the guys I was riding with was so impressed, he will be buying one soon. Light weight, efficient, multiple uses. If you spend any time in the woods, buy one.

Definitely worth trying if your on the fence!!
This now replaces my hatchet and saw and makes my pack way lighter without compromising functionality. I use the saw for backpacking and camping and it’s worked wonders!! Not sure what I’ll do when it dulls and how I’ll go about sharpening it, but at this price I could buy a new one every year and give the old one away to someone that can sharpen it. Cuts through hardwood faster than any hand saw I’ve ever used so I imagine this could have tons of practical uses other than camping.

Works like a charm
We cut a lot of limbs up to 4" in diameter at about 30' by attaching utility rope to both handles, using a throw bag to get the rope over the limbs. Worked great - cut through in 10 strokes! The only gotcha is that the teeth are only on one side so you have to play a bit to flip it to the right side before it will cut. I probably would have gone for a 36" instead of the 24" if I was buying again - that would give more cuts per stroke.

High branch trimming
I used it to cut/trim high branches. Tied a roll of duct tape as a weight to end of rope to toss up and over branch. Tied each end of rope to pocket chainsaw's handles and pulled it up. Little fiddly getting blade side on branch, but cutting was fairly smooth once got motion going. Unfortunately angle didn't allow to cut underside of branch through before branches broke. An arborist would likely shake their head in disapproval, but it certainly does come at at least a tenth of the cost, and with aforementioned technic, it can reach higher branches than typical pole saws.

Great product
Works perfect. Cut through fresh 6 inch tree roots like butter. Makes it much easier in tight areas as well. Takes a bit to get use to keeping the chain straight while setting up to saw but breath and take your time when setting up because once going it doesn't take much effort or time to cut through your obstacles lol. Watch how to vids on YouTube, keeping arms straight whill sawing makes a huge difference.

Sans hésiter, le meilleur de tous
Parmi les 3 que j'ai acheté, il est de loin, le plus performant, étant donné la distance beaucoup plus courtes que les autres, entres les dents. Ce qui permet de scier manuellement, un arbre de 10" en moins de 30 secondes, tant que vous ayez une bonne vitesse. Il est solide, efficace et il semble partie pour durer.
