This saw is pretty slick. If you want to cut anything bigger than 12" it is much easier with 2 people. My brother and I cut a fallen dead cottonwood >24" in 5 Minutes. You will need to practice to get the right technique at first. If you have sissy hands, you might want gloves until you get calluses if you use this a lot or cut bigger stuff.

48" saw is longer than I need. Really for backpacking 24" would be enough.

FYI this is just a chainsaw blade with ever other tooth turned around.

It cuts a lot fast than using a regular handsaw. I'm glad I got the 48-inch chain instead of a smaller one. This one can cut trees that are pretty large in diameter. The bigger the tree the longer it will take but why not get a good workout while you're exploring the local trails. Main reason I got this was because I run across downed trees on the trails and end up not being able to get past them. The only thing that would make this better is if there was teeth on both sides so you didn't have to mess around with getting the right side to cut. I was a little worried about the handles not being comfortable enough because there's other chains on Amazon that have different kind of handles but these handles are perfect for getting a good grip on the chain. You do have to keep the chain taught in order for it to cut smoothly.

I purchased two of these tools for my brother and father as Christmas gifts. The chains on both, though packages were labeled 48-inch, were much shorter. My brother read similar reviews so perhaps they inadvertently labeled an entire batch of these pocket chain saws incorrectly. At any rate, the shorter chain length makes the tool much less useful, and is not as it was advertised.
