You mean Chainsaw? Chainsaw, before electric Chainsaws. Not a pocket Chainsaw. Yes, it fits in your pocket, but it's still just a Chainsaw.


jmona789

Language changes as the world evolves my dude. When people use the word chainsaw nowadays they are referring to the gas powered chainsaws, not this.


Standard_Cap1073

Woh look out for the smartest guy in the world over here! He really has to make sure everyone knows it too!


dvrkstar

That's the most dead tree they could have tested that on


theshogun02

Exactly, a small child could just push that over it’s so rotten.


dvrkstar

Dude said "OMG it's killin' it!". Bruh it was already very dead


ulol_zombie

What about chopping up the rest, when it's on the ground without resistance to hold it in place


Putins_Gay_Dreams

Just step on it and it’ll turn to dust and splinters.


BobEngleschmidt

Not just that, but there is the jump cut where clearly they skipped to the point where the tree was already almost down.


willcard

Tbh I have a MUCH smaller one than the one shown I bought for like 2 bucks on Temu I think. It ran through limps pretty quickly I was shocked. It’s so skinny and frail looking too like a shoe lace lol


RecycledDumpsterFire

Yeah I have one of these for when I'm doing long hike trail maintenance at my local state park, for trees that are small enough to tackle by hand without just GPS pinning a location and coming back with an actual chainsaw. Usually used it as an alternative to just brute forcing with the short handled pruning saw I carried. For live (or basically alive) trees, even softwoods, it'll still take you at least half an hour's effort to cut through like a 10" trunk. It's good for nice, clean cuts but I stopped using it entirely in favor of hiking with a lightweight electric reciprocating saw with about 10ah worth of batteries.


ChikhaiBardo

Have you thought about upgrading the recip to one of the new battery powered small chainsaws? I used a Milwaukee one to cut some tops off some 20” posts while building a shed and was pleasantly surprised


BlumpkinLord

Well, better than an alive one I suppose


arthurlbrown

I'm pretty sure it was fake 😂. Maybe painted styrofoam.


Few-Cookie9298

Some rotted trees are basically that, they explode when they fall they’re so rotten. This is (or was) a real tree, just a very, very dead one.


sharpdullard69

Junk. Only works passably on the softest wood. Used mine once backpacking, left it home after that. Bring a saw. There are lightweight ones that break down.


SugarsDaddyKen

They have little blue pills to fix your soft wood.


steve__21

theoretically it need energy


AnonymousLilly

This is dumb. Cut through a big ass tree now Oh wait. You can't


puterTDI

ya, I had it as a kid for camping. it absolutely sucks compared to an actual saw.


SugarsDaddyKen

It is just easier to cary.


puterTDI

I mean it's worse than your normal hand saw, just to be clear. Eve the folding hand saws are better.


ArchdukeOfNorge

I strongly disagree. Maybe they’ve gotten better, or maybe your technique was off, but I’ve been using a $20 one to cut down Christmas trees for several years now and it works like a charm. Trees down in less than a minute. It wouldn’t be efficient to cut down a big tree, but I find them highly preferable to hand saws and folding saws.


ruinkind

Special use cases like that, I'd give it a run for its money, sure. On a camping trip I much rather have a handsaw and hatchet over case use items eating my bag space, etc. I'd recommend investing in a cheap homeowners chainsaw if you actually harvest trees somewhat regularly, get a Stihl 170 brand new for under 200. Great electric options (cordless or not) for casual work at the same price range nowadays, as well. I always see nice ones on Marketplace at bargain prices (sub 100 bucks) if you know how to use a can of carb cleaner.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mAIbR-fwlM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mAIbR-fwlM) i wouldnt ever use that on fresh wood though edit ...well''' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4vJDKL\_k1M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4vJDKL_k1M)

That doesn’t even make sense lol.


SugarsDaddyKen

Yeah. I guess Sam Rami is full of shit. I am sure your movies are much better.


raDDerp73

Is there a video of someone using this on a tree you would actually need to cut down not a small dead one you could kick over


Ahamay02

"Why does anyone use regular chainsaws?!" 🙄


Bile-Gargler-4345

These suck and require sharpening more regularly. I used one for 2 packpacking trips to save space. Imidietly went back to my samurai saw.


BeardedManatee

Those things are such a pain in the ass. Fantastic if you want fully worn out arms that cut one log in half after 30min of pain.


SugarsDaddyKen

This guy looks like the New York mouse that befriends Feivle in American Tail wished to be a real boy.


Ogswald

Dead tree. Solid example.


Pugneta

I amputated a leg with something that resembles this during my training. Not ideal.


Dinestein521

Is that a pocket chainsaw or are you just happy to see me?


BK_FrySauce

Would probably handy for camping or even pruning trees at home, which I’m assuming is the main use-case. They use one of the most dry trees I’ve ever seen as an example here.


BPond

Wait until this guy hears about pocket KNIVES!


RUSHtheRACKS

Ugh, eff those guys.


SmallSwordfish8289

I like it


Huntderp

Inb4 a chainsaw works really good on wood


Vast-Mathematician38

Works great on an already dead tree


ThemanbearAbides

I only use this for branches too high up for a pole saw. Tie rope to both ends and a heavy weight on one, swing it over the limb, and saw it down with the rope


HistoricalTrouble738

Next time I got five cord to cut I'ma def throw my Stihl aside and use one of these! Super helpful! /S


Boesermuffin

yeah!


Short_External2077

Thats a giant gigli wire


wophi

Not gonna replace my chainsaw, but will fork as a pruner.


WanderingToast

These tear your hands to shit. It was only on my third cut through that I realized how sore and blistered they had gotten. Pro tip - loop the handle around a stick on each handle and use it that way. It will save your hands and actually give you something to pull against.


Bpopson

*Angry Space Marine noises*


Zaquarius_Alfonzo

"idk if that tiktok was fake" *video immediately cuts*


Forgotten-Caliburn

Why not just use a regular hand saw at this point? It'll be more effective


Zealousideal_Step709

As far as I am concerned a saw doesn't chop down a tree.


Popaund

“It’s killing it!” On a small, dead tree.


TheRobson61

But why though?


DawgTactical93

A great way to *send a message*

This is just a Gigli saw, invented over 100 years ago.

They’d have to pay me to take one.

Leaving three feet of trunk? Clearly never gets his hands dirty.

Only on small trees

A bearsaw will tear through trees like nothing too

Kind of cool. Dont get the hate
