Homyall Portable Pocket Chain Rope Saw – Lightweight, Compact Hand Saw for Cutting Wood, Metal, Plastic, and More

linda d.: Used it once so far on a large branch and it cut right through it. I attached to pieces of rope at each end, got it up and over the branch and began to cut back and forth from the ground and it went pretty quick. Wear eye protection and it goes without saying, don’t stand under the branch.

sharon: This was the perfect option for staying off ladders and quickly and easily removing high branches.

Client d'AmazonClient d'Amazon: Nous avions apporté cette tronçonneuse de poche et une petite hache, pour un trip de plusieurs jours en canot camping.
Nous avons été très étonné par l’efficacité du produit.
Encore plus efficace, lorsqu’il est utilisé par deux personnes.

Josh: Good for what it is. Works on small diameter logs. Larger logs/trees get yourself a folding saw

Andre Bape: Im a workhorse, im no stranger to manual work but this is not easy to use on anything bigger than a few inches in diameter.

Ahmad kaveh: It’s small and does the job kinda but slowly. I stopped using it after I bought a silky boy saw.

Guillaume: It works but you ll be better with a saw...in my eyes, it's more of a gimmick than anything else but ... I managed to cut wood (in 10 times longer than with a saw). however, since the item takes up very little space and is lightweight, it can be a good option if you are overloaded. BUT, in the field: 1. a pruning saw, 2. a hatchet and 3. a good knife (like a 20 inch long skrama from an excellent Finnish brand) is the best equation.

VPW: 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...

Tom From Texas: 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...

Jeff F.: 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...
