this little chain surprised me! it cut down a branch about the size of 10"-12" diameter in about 10-15 minutes! the only regret i have is that i didnt get the one with the teeth on both sides cause you have to work it around to where the teeth are on the branch & its a challenge for a branch thats high up..this is a great purchase!Chainsaw cuts so good. The compass on the wrist is broken but it's super cool to have the flint which I haven't tried yet, and the little knife on the clasp. And the fact that if you undo it you get at least 30 ft of rope is great.
