25.5" Portable Pocket Chainsaw - Self-Cleaning Razor Sharp Hand Saw for Survival Gear

Munchie: Tie ropes to each lanyard and attach a weight to one end. Throw over the limb and center saw over the limb. Alternate pulling each rope. Limb cuts and falls!! A lot cheaper than a tree service!

A Buyer: Bought this to trim limbs that were too high to reach, i.e. 20-30 feet high. Tied a rope to both ends and it worked fairly well. It took more time to get the rope over the limb and correcting the chain that was sometimes upside down than to cut through the limbs ranging from 2" to 5" in diameter. It did get stuck a couple of times which took 15-20 minutes to free up but overall I trimmed 15 limbs first time out and am quite happy with it and the case/pouch is a nice touch!

ja: used it on my last weekend hike and it was able to cut branches for a fire with ease.

infiniteMPGinfiniteMPG: We had a LARGE dead branch hanging from a pine tree in our back yard. Could pay $300 to a tree service or try something else. So bought this saw with a crazy idea in mind. Wasn't overly impressed at first but now an easy 5 stars. Took my Wrist-rocket hunting sling shot, some heavy test fishing line and a large steel nut, and shot the nut/line over the branch (only took 3 dozen frustrating tries). Use the fishing line to pull a rope over and tried pulling to snap the branch without any luck. Tied the saw to the ends of the rope and eased the saw over the branch but teeth were facing up. Flipped the rope a lot and after a couple tries, I pulled and felt the teeth bite in. Back-and-forth for a while and SNAP, down came the branch. No more fear walking or mowing beneath it. Didn't know if that would work but sure enough did. Not sure I'd recommend that as a use but sure as heck worked for us. Highly recommended!!!

terry: Not a miracle tool, but combined with a casting rod, was able to cut off some high limbs at my Mom's cottage (beyond the 10' chain pole saw on a ladder ones!).(Use a nut on fishing line, and pull back rope and saw). Higher is more difficult as the more vertical the two sides of the chain while sawing, the more likely to jamb (and at some point you would be right underr th branch). Best to cut a few inches out from the trunk as well. Recommend you read other reviews as I did and patience is a key, if you get frustrated easy this may not be the tool for you.
I bought two, but the one lasted the whole job and still in good shape (10 or so pine branches 2-3" diameter). This was a very reasonable option, and I will likely shove the two units in my glove boxes for road/trail use.

Justin J.: I purchased this for the bug out bag and tested it multiple times and it works fantastic in my opinion. Obviously it will still require manual work from you the user but it cuts great. I do not recommend this but I wanted to test durability so I cut through a 6x4 Pressure treated and with breaks took me about 8 minutes, a 4x4 pressure treated in about 5 minutes then about a 1.5” branch in about a minute. It cuts really well, is sharp, perfect size, handles are durable. I just need to get in better shape to be able to cut quicker. Lol. Definitely recommend it though.

GerardWGerardW: I was able to drop a high limb infringing next the house. The branch was higher than I wanted to go on a ladder. Getting the saw to cut through took some time to figure out, ending up having to make two cuts. The branch broke on the first cut and I wasn't able to saw the rest of the way through.

What I end up figuring out:
There's a fifty percent chance it will bend the wrong way (cutting teeth out). No big deal, just slide it off branch and twist rope a bit.
It was best to stand directly underneath the branch and extend my arms as widely as possible.
Light tension is best.
Pulling too far gets the handle stuck in the kerf, and pulling not enough doesn't cut as much. You have to Goldilocks it too "just right"
Pay attention and get out of way when the branch finally goes.
