Great little saw. Used it to trim branches up to 6” in diameter. Comes in a small carry pouch good to keep in a backpackTHe saw works great and saws like butter. THe learning curve is not to bad. You have to use light pulling pressure and get into a rhythm. If you pause while sawing it will get stuck and its' a pain to get back out. I was cutting 8 inch diameter tree limbs with little effort.This gadget does work. I needed to remove some branches out of a dead tree so I could safely drop it with my electric chainsaw without hitting the house. With nothing more than a U tube university education, I dove in. A few things that I found out.... I used a 1/3 of a brick and tied a para cord through the hole. Toss this over chosen branch. Then tie one end of the pocket chainsaw to this. Pull over branch and tie to a thick, strong rope. Pull para cord till you can remove and tie the thick rope to the saw. I used one long rope and had the chain tied to each end so I didn't need to cut my rope. Then get the chain in position and start pulling back and forth. I did this by myself. It will get stuck occasionally, this is where the thick rope helps. Go under the branch to the other side and start sawing. It will free itself. My arms felt like limp noodles but I managed to get done what I needed. The cuts this gadget made were very nice. Between this and a cheap electric chainsaw. I was able to save hundreds $$$ over a tree co. 100% recommended if you are the least bit handy. Two people (one on each end) would make this a lot easier.These are just perfect for those small limbs that get in the way of your path. Have a set in the Jeep and purchased two of these for on the mountain bikes. They have been put to use and really helped to allow the bike ride to be completed.Very sturdy, well made and sharp! Used it many times to cut big branches.I used it to trim a few tree braches that are touching my roof. It was easy.It’s really easy to use and works like it’s supposed to I love itIt needs sharpening asap but for 10 bucks I have no complaints
