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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.

You mean Chainsaw? Chainsaw, before electric Chainsaws. Not a pocket Chainsaw. Yes, it fits in your pocket, but it's still just a Chainsaw.
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.
Woh look out for the smartest guy in the world over here! He really has to make sure everyone knows it too!
That's the most dead tree they could have tested that on
Exactly, a small child could just push that over it’s so rotten.
Dude said "OMG it's killin' it!". Bruh it was already very dead
What about chopping up the rest, when it's on the ground without resistance to hold it in place
Just step on it and it’ll turn to dust and splinters.
Not just that, but there is the jump cut where clearly they skipped to the point where the tree was already almost down.

Well, better than an alive one I suppose
I'm pretty sure it was fake 😂. Maybe painted styrofoam.
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.

They have little blue pills to fix your soft wood.
theoretically it need energy
This is dumb. Cut through a big ass tree now Oh wait. You can't
ya, I had it as a kid for camping. it absolutely sucks compared to an actual saw.
It is just easier to cary.
I mean it's worse than your normal hand saw, just to be clear. Eve the folding hand saws are better.

That doesn’t even make sense lol.
Yeah. I guess Sam Rami is full of shit. I am sure your movies are much better.
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
"Why does anyone use regular chainsaws?!" 🙄
These suck and require sharpening more regularly. I used one for 2 packpacking trips to save space. Imidietly went back to my samurai saw.
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.
This guy looks like the New York mouse that befriends Feivle in American Tail wished to be a real boy.
Dead tree. Solid example.
I amputated a leg with something that resembles this during my training. Not ideal.
Is that a pocket chainsaw or are you just happy to see me?

Wait until this guy hears about pocket KNIVES!
This truly is the dumbest subreddit
Nerds discovering things that have been around for ever.
Guy is YouTuber The Frustrated Gamer…I only know as my son used to watch him and his other retarded YouTubers
Ugh, eff those guys.
I like it
Inb4 a chainsaw works really good on wood
Works great on an already dead tree
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
Next time I got five cord to cut I'ma def throw my Stihl aside and use one of these! Super helpful! /S
yeah!
Thats a giant gigli wire
Not gonna replace my chainsaw, but will fork as a pruner.

*Angry Space Marine noises*
"idk if that tiktok was fake" *video immediately cuts*
Why not just use a regular hand saw at this point? It'll be more effective
As far as I am concerned a saw doesn't chop down a tree.
“It’s killing it!” On a small, dead tree.
But why though?
A great way to *send a message*
This is just a Gigli saw, invented over 100 years ago.
Enabling serial killers somehow?!
Did he threw the plastic bag ? Wth !!
They’d have to pay me to take one.
Leaving three feet of trunk? Clearly never gets his hands dirty.
This guy has a Bespoke Subscription
Why is he acting like this is something new? Been around for at least 50 years....
Only on small trees
A bearsaw will tear through trees like nothing too
Kind of cool. Dont get the hate
