36 Inch Pocket Chainsaw, 48 Teeth 65Mn Steel Hand Saw for Camping Survival

Reading reviews on these types of saws yields a lot of cautionary tales and one star reviews. Most reviewers report breakages or getting saw wedged in limbs. Thought I’d try this one as the price was worth the risk. This one worked like a charm, first try, on a five+ inch oak tree limb forty feet up. Had planned to oil chain but didn’t in the end. Maybe next time.

I got this because I couldn't afford a hand chain saw for little sprout trees in my back yard & it works a treat! You will need someone to hold a standing little tree up so it does not bonk you on the head but it works! Nice & sharp & not hard to do, I cut down four 2-3" little trees in about 20 minutes. I am a 68 year old female.

Works like a champ, ideal for camping and cutting wood into smaller sections. The cutting speed was quick, its compact and easy to use

I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet# but so far so good. It has very sharp teeth and seems to be well made. I like the handles, while they could be a little softer, they are a good size. I think you'll like it too.

Seen a YT video on these and laughed as I thought it was a gimik.I bought this cheaper priced model just to try it out.My God I was surprised!Had a young fell red oak tree still fresh in my back yard from a storm recently.Tree is about 8" diameter and this saw cut right through it in about 45 seconds.So far I've cut about 10 2' logs and its still cutting the oak.It has dulled about 15% but this is from oak!Very hard wood.Its just a chainsaw chain with hand straps on each end.Its a campers delight as it will roll up and fit in your jeans pocket.Cut's through tough logs faster than my expensive camp axe with less effort.It will give your lats a workout though.I just love mine so far.When it gets dull,I plan to sharpen it and keep using it.Way better than lugging and are around.

I had an issue with my neighbor’s branches growing over the property line and dumping a lot of debris. They were too high to reach with a pole saw. So I decided to buy this, about 60 ft of nylon rope, a golf ball, and some string to fix the issue. I drilled a hole through the golf ball and run the string through it. Cut the nylon rope in half and attach one piece to each end of the handles. Then attach the string to one end of the nylon rope. You then throw the golf ball, which is attached to a string, attached to one end of the nylon rope, over an overhead branch. Once over, pull the golf ball down until you get to the nylon rope. Continue to pull until the saw comes over the branch. May take a couple tries to get the saw side down. Once it bites, you and another person take turns pulling the rope back and forth. Behold, the Yard Saw 3000.

It's a bit of a learning curve. Depending on the pressure and angle you use them it could get a bit stuck but they work as intended since it's literally a saw chain.

I ordered it yesterday. Wasn’t expecting it until tomorrow. Got it today! Love that. I took it out and used it on a 2-3 in downed limb. It did get hung up a couple of times as I think any would if you stopped like I did. It was easy to get it unpinched. I would have given it 5 stars except the pouch is kind of cheap. I’m expecting to have to replace it soon.

This manual portable chainsaw appears to be very strong and well built.. Time will tell when and If I ever have to use it out in the bush or when I go over an old logging road when I am exploring in my jeep.. Hope I never have to use it., but it will give me the peace of mind down and old logging road if I come upon and small tree over the road.. Will be much better than carrying a gas chainsaw and fuel in the back of the vehicle. Time will tell though, but it appears that it will be able to do the job if the job itself is a small one, or in an emergency situation..
