SUMPRI Pocket Chainsaw: The Ultimate Survival Gear for Outdoorsmen

Madone: It is made nice but it has flaws and the biggest will be the hand grips after all they wear out the fastest and then you have to buy a new one.

Seth.H: A little tricky to use, but very handy, pretty sure the grip straps are going to fail. However I can easily replace those.

Jennifer: I bought this a couple months ago, finally got to use it on a week-long backpacking trip in the forested hills of Northeast Iowa.

It worked excellently!

I was actually pretty surprised how well-made it was, considering how much it cost. It was lightweight, easy to clean and maintain, and took up less space than the stupid (but awesome) compass I bought.

Originally, I intended for this item to be for "just in case," since we also had a combination handheld axe/folding saw combo tool, but I ended up breaking the chainsaw out for use the very first night since I hadn't much else to do. The length was just right for my arms--I'm female, about 5'4". This was a sturdy item, and I seriously could not believe how well it got through the wood. I got carried away because I was having so much fun and I made a mid-thigh-high pile of downed branches.

Thank you for setting a high-quality item for an adorable price! This is one of those good finds that keeps a user coming back to Amazon and a customer coming back to a company. Two thumbs up, and I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone looking.

Rich: I have a 23' Jameson pole pruner that I usually use for the spruce trees around my place but I had a limb that was 35' above the ground that needed to come off before I fall the tree. I don't have climbing gear so there was no safe way to access this particular limb. I thought I would give this a try thinking for the price there was nothing lose. So, I checked this out when I got it, seemed sturdy enough, well made and very sharp. I do my own chain sharpening and these were perfect as far as angle and grind. I shot a line over this limb and attached 2 50' lengths of 3/8 line to each end of the pocket saw and pulled it up and over the limb. When the first couple of pulls offered no resistance, I flipped the lines over and the chips started flying. I was really surprised when after maybe 80 see saw pulls the 4" limb came down. This thing really works and after this use, is none the worse as far as wear. Well worth it for jobs like this. I can imagine that for lower limbs or other uses closer to ground it is even better. Keep in mind if you use this for high work, you should feel resistance, hear the gravelly saw sound and see chips/sawdust flying through the air. If not, the chain...

CARL MANKINEN: I had an arborist that wanted to charge $700 to cut a branch down. I had 3 branches so the total cost was close to $2000. These branches were about 10" diameter, so pretty big and over the roof of my house. I decided instead to get a chainsaw blade and connect it to a rope and use that to cut the branches. I did a couple cuts each to limit the weight of the portion that dropped and also to allow it to swing away from the house. I got all the work down with no damage to house and only cost me less than $50 because I already had the chainsaw to cut up the wood. I used a fishing pole with a tennis ball on the end to toss over the area I needed to cut. I used the fishing line to pull a smaller nylon cord over which I then used to pull a thicker nylon paracord rope over. I tied both ends of the rope to the amazon chainsaw blade and then pulled it back to make the cut. I found it is better to get a chainsaw blade that is the longest you can find and has a LOWER tooth density. The chain that i had with a larger number of teeth would bite into the wood more and make it harder to cut and occasionally got stuck. I ended up buying a second amazon chainsaw blade and it worked better.

Bodkin's Best Photography: Good for liming and ringing if you don't have a saw, or don't want to drag one with you camping.

nworbdk: The media could not be loaded.  We do a lot of camping and hiking and were looking for a portable chainsaw. At this price, we thought we would try it out.

It came with a fire starter and it works so fabulously. There is an outer layer on the fint which you have to scrape off to get it to spark. We had no trouble lighting the kindling and the case is protective to you do not need to worry about storage and safety.

I have a video demonstrating how simple it is to use the chain saw. I really did not expect the branch to come down so quickly and with such ease.

This is a must have for your hiking backpack.
