Customer Reviews

This is literally a chainsaw blade fixed to two handles. If you can get enough teeth into the log this thing will chew through it. The carrying case is also very rugged, the lid flap secure with a clip fastener and holds the entire saw with some extra room.
Advantages:
Compact, the whole thing is smaller than a DVD and maybe as thick as two DVD cases.
Fast - as quick as your arms move this thing spits out sawdust.
Light weight
Things to know:
You need to have a pretty consistent rhythm when you cut or you'll bind the blade in the wood.
You do "waste" some energy because the blade is so thick. It's a chainsaw blade, not a flimsy band saw.
The case has a belt loop that only attached in the up/down position. If you wanted to mount it for side access you'll need to work out some sort of adapter.

I had previously tried one of those very inexpensive pocketable wire saws and found it to be useless. This item was shown to be and demonstrated while camping. Those one actually does work. It's compact and given enough time you could cut pretty much any wood you ran across. Cutting dead branches 2-3" in diameter was no problem at all. Not cheap, but a good working saw.
