As advertized, May 7, 2009

This review is from: Unbelievable Pocket Chain Saw Portable Camping
I bought one of these a few years ago for camp, survival and emergency use. The business part of saw compacts nicely and fits beautifully into a little snuff-box sized tin. So it is great for a medium sized survival kit. (I am afraid that for a pocket kit, you will need to make do with an SAS Survival Wire Saw. They work but are no picnic.) What surprises me about the Pocket Chainsaw is how often I go to get this thing for regular jobs around the yard. It makes quick work of small to medium sized branches and is much more versatile than any fixed blade saw. There are some jobs that no other tool seems to work for. (At least, none of the ones I’ve got.) A bit of essential advice, though: keep this thing clean and well lubricated. ASAP after I am done using this, I brush it clean, then douse it down with WD-40 before storing it away.

Ever try a Zip Saw when camping?, January 17, 2007
By M. Deck (Columbus, OH) –
This review is from: Unbelievable Pocket Chain Saw Portable Camping
For years when camping I would carry around a folding handsaw, a hatchet or a zip saw when traveling light. I you have ever used a zip saw you know they are slow, a hatchet can work great but can be large to carry around and a folding saw slow. The Pocket Chainsaw is faster than all others and fits in a can the size of a snuff can. Mind you it not as good as an ax or a real chainsaw, but it’s smaller and lighter(exception: Zip Saw)than all of the previous options mentioned. This product has found a permanent spot in my camping backpack.

Amazing once you figure it out., December 10, 2009
By Ryan W. Lass (atascadero, ca United States) –
This review is from: Unbelievable Pocket Chain Saw Portable Camping
I bought one of these for cutting trees out of the way when mountain biking. Fits in any pocket, and with a little creativity I have managed to get through a 14″ or so diameter log. You can slide it under the log, and cut from the bottom to avoid binding during the cut, unlike a bow saw or folding saw which comes in handy. Only downside I have found is that if you don’t pay attention to which way it will pinch because when you get it stuck, it is really stuck. On the same note if you get it stuck, and tweak it getting it unstuck, and then it breaks due to that shortly afterwards, their customer service (Supreme Products)is great. Since then I have been more careful about which direction it will pinch from, and haven’t had any issues at all, and have taken out multiple 12″ + diameter logs. With some forethought this saw is capable of much more than advertised. Works better than anything I have found aside from a chainsaw which is hard to carry around miles back into the woods.
