Upgrade Hand Rope Saw for Tree Limbs 53 Inch High Limb Rope Chain Saw Manual Pocket Chainsaw with Blades on Both Sides for Yard Gardening work Hiking Camping Survival Gear Kit

Don’t worry about it, this works. It does. I took down an oak tree and had to top it about 2/3 of the way up because it was hung up in another tree. Standing under it with a chain saw was dangerous. Called a widow maker in some parts. I had an older rope saw but broke the chain when it got stuck. Bought this brand because I need to pick one of many. These new double-sided designs are 100% easier to use than my old one-sided cutting chain. Glad the old one broke. After trimming a few 3-inch limbs so I could get a clear area to toss the throw bag where I wanted it, I was able to cut thru ten inches of the oak trunk and drop the top. Now a few things to consider from someone who has used rope saws a lot. Buy some separate heavy paracord or nylon cord to tie to your throw bag. DO NOT TIE IT TO THE SAW LINES. Second do not use the snap clip they give you. Toss it and tie the cord directly to the bag. That bag will get hung up in branches and you will have to tug hard to free it. On the opposite end from the bag put a good snap hook so you can hook the saw line and pull it up and over the branch. Tossing that saw line in the air with 48 inches of sharp teeth attached is going to get you cut up. Plus, if the throw gets caught up in the branches and you can’t get it free, your saw will be 20 feet up and your day will be done. Now the most critical part of all. If you are not a patient person call a professional. You may have to toss the bag a dozen or more times to get it where you want it. Maybe even 24 times. LOL If your tree has surrounding branches lake many oaks or pines plan on it taking some time. Sometimes you have to “cut” your way up the tree removing branches, so you get a clear shot at the limb or section of the trunk you want. But if you are patient, this does work in cases where you feel your under a widow maker or just trying to take off a limb and don’t want to climb a ladder or hire a pro. The orange nylon hand straps included. A life saver but never put them over your wrist. Fingers and palms only so you can let go and run if you have to. Trees never fall where we expect them to 100% of the time.

I read the reviews. One said that you'll end up throwing the bag over and over. I had a 6" branch 20 feet up in the air. I threw the pouch with the one end wrapped in it. Over and over. Got stuck. Wife was up in the tree trying to get it free. I ended up taking a baseball and putting it in the pouch and chucking it over the branch. It worked for the most part but when it caught in an area I didn't want and was stuck the grommets ripped out - the pouch went one way and the rope snapped back to me. I took four 3/8" thick carabiners (three clipped into one) and threw it. WHEN it got stuck I gave a good yank and it was free. Just be sure to tie a solid not on both ends of the chain. I didn't and when the chain got stuck the knot slipped off. How does it cut? Amazing! It goes very quick and my neighbor commented that it looked like I was doing a hard-core upper body workout. You can only cut from top down so if you are at a spot where the log will bind a chainsaw, it will bind this. You better be pretty strong or have other means to break through. I eventually broke through using brute force and other means but my hands are blistered and bruised from yanking and tugging. But when the branch snapped I dropped the cord and ran while the branch plinkoed down the trunk and augered into the lawn. $40 plus tax vs maybe $250 to have someone come out? I'll take that. I don't mind the workout. The frustrating part is getting the cord and saw to land where you want it.

Did not take long at all for this to break on me. The first limb I cut, It bound up and broke the chain. I could not have been using that much force on it, the rope was only 3/16 , and I was holding on with no gloves on.

This item was exactly what I needed to get rid of a high branch. Quality is good, and I went through a 6 inch branch with no issues.

I like how light and portable a hand chainsaw is for camping and hiking. The 2 sided blade doesn't add much value as it still takes some finking getting it to catch the teeth where you want to cut. This one is riveted and built with a lot softer metal than say a chainsaw blade. The teeth are nice and sharp but dull quickly and are near impossible to hold for sharpening. Limbs less than 1 inch seem to catch hard and break without cutting and anything greater than 4 inches cuts but slower than fixed blade hand saw. The rivets broke and needed redone after a few large cuts. The links are made of soft metal that will bend in my backpack.

This works exactly as-intended, but as others have mentioned if it gets stuck you're in a difficult spot. I got one stuck in a branch and no amount of pulling enabled me to get it down. Will have to get a scissor lift up there. Youtube doesn't have great instructions, but there are some reviews here that give some good advice: - Practice w/ some low branches (that you can reach) to get the hang of it - Do a brief cut at 6 o'clock position - Alternate b/w the 7 and 5 o'clock and do a small cut - Expand to the 9 & 3 o'clock and do a moderate cut - Finish near the 6 o'clock (in a safe position: the branch will swing or fall, be aware!) The goal is to prevent the chain from getting pinched by the branch in the kerf of the cut. This will work way better w/ 2 people standing in opposite positions.

I bought this to take down some limbs hanging over my driveway that were out of reach of a pole saw. They were fairly large and most were oak. I have to admit I had low expectations and fully expected to have to pay someone to come take them down. Much to my surprise my son and I were able to remove all of them with this saw. I feel like having two people probably makes it easier to use. Only issues we had were it occasionally got pinched depending on how the limb fell. It works best if you cut closer to the trunk rather than out near the limb ends, they sway too much if you cut near the ends. It was well worth what I paid for it.

Delivery of item was on time with no issues, great service from Amazon 👍. Product was great, did what it was meant to do. Removing hard to reach branches safely with both feet on the ground.

This handsaw works well on green wood, but it has a difficult time biting into dead trees. Once it finds a purchase point on green trees, it slices through very quickly.

We got a quote to remove a couple branches that I couldn't reach with my ladder. They were pricey, so I explored other options and found this one. It works really well, just be sure you use two people to keep a wide angle when sawing, or else it will snag in the cut.

Parfait pour mes randonner de camping dans le bois
