This is the real deal w/ the modified carbon steel chainsaw blades - not the crappy model w/ the thin folding-saw type blade.
This thing EATS wood and weighs nothing!! It takes a little bit of effort but you can chew through a hardwood tree half a foot thick in literally a couple minutes; half that if you use two people (one on each end).
My only advice would be to spray it down with some wd-40 before you head out to smooth out the action and reduce kinks.
Would def. recommend if you're into winter/fall camping and overnight hunting.

This Chainmate "Survival Pocket Chain Saw" rips through wood with amazing ease! I used this to cut a 2" diameter branch in less than 30 seconds. Here are my observations:
+ Compact; takes up very little space in the backpack
+ Efficient; the chain saw blades cut through wood almost like butter
+ Easy to Use; just wrap the blade around the offending branch, take a handle in each hand, and move it back and forth
+ Includes Pouch; can be carried on belt (a little large) or in your backpack
I have nothing negative to say about this one at all.
Highly Recommended!

This Chainmate 24-Inch Survival Pocket Chain Saw is something that even John "Lofty" Wiseman would approve of ...

When I was setting up a very basic camping kit, one of the things I purchased was this Chainmate Survival Saw. One of the suggestions that John "Lofty" Wiseman made in his SAS Survival Handbook was to purchase a flexible saw to put in a survival kit. He also recommended adding certain items to an old tobacco tin (or something along those lines). I agreed with Wiseman's suggestions and decided to add a few things to this basic survival/camping packet in an old tobacco tin and seal it with masking tape. Some of the things that will fit in a tin are Tinder Quik Fire Tabs, an Emergency Fire Starter and some UCO Stormproof Matches. Together they can figuratively (and perhaps literally) be a lifesaver when you need to start a fire in inclement weather.
This flexible Chainmate Survival Saw is much more compact that many others that come with large rings. Wiseman says that when you get your saw, in order to protect it "from rust and breakage cover it in a film of grease" and that these saws "can be used to cut even quite large trees." I haven't attempted any large trees, but I have no doubt that if need be I wouldn't have a problem. This 24-inch saw is in a convenient pouch that can be tucked inside a backpack or, if you prefer, can be worn on a belt. This Chainmate Survival Saw is a fantastic bargain that you might want to add to your list of "needs" and "must haves" to your camping/survival pack.
After this video was shot we cut through a hardwood tree 8" in diameter. It took a few minutes, but it was amazingly easy.

works well
good for cutting high limbs off trees if you don't like ladders. toss a rope over the limb and pull the saw into position and go to it. Takes some elbow grease but nice and quiet.

Not junk
The saw seems good quality and fells well made. I got an awesome deal on a product that, thanks to my biolite stove, will get a tone of use
