I received this saw three days ago and had a chance to use it yesterday.
The saw is well constructed and the nylon web handles won't come off or break.
The chain saw is very sharp and cut through 6" and 12" limbs with ease.
I then tried it out on a 26" trunk of a tree that had been felled a couple of weeks ago.
It took less than 15 minutes to cut through it. But then the wood on the tree is soft compared to a lot of other types of trees.
I don't know how it would do on a dead redwood tree, since the wood has a lot of grit in it, or how it would do on a tree of harder wood, like oak.
This is an excellent saw for camping and survival situations.
I bought this saw to have in an emergency kit for any situations, should they ever arise, when I'm up in the mountains skiing or driving through a remote area or just going out on a hike.
If you're a survivalist and on the move, it's obviously heavier than a wire saw and (while compact enough for a camper) not nearly as compact as a wire saw. But a wire saw is something that can only be used reliably on 3" limbs or smaller and is really something that only someone in a combat evasion situation would need.
I doubt anyone whose in the military is going to be on Amazon shopping for items for an emergency kit.
This saw comes with a light weight, soft nylon belt case that's rugged enough and an inexpensive Ferrocerium rod and striker for starting fires.
With the saw in the case, the case measures 4-3/4" tall x 3-3/4" wide x 3/4" deep.
I don't have a scale, but this doesn't weigh but a few ounces (maybe 2 or 3).
If you're a hunter or someone who doesn't want to pack a folding saw or deal with the weight of an axe or hatchet, this a great tool for cutting wood and as I mentioned, it's very light, compact and well made.
Which means that I now have an inexpensive, light weight and effective option for cutting wood, should I ever decide that I don't want to or don't have room to take my Silky Big Boy on a backpacking trip.
This is something that won't take up any space in a day pack or backpack and can easily and quickly cut through large limbs that a small folding saw can't or would take some work to accomplish with it.
I feel like I made a smart purchase and I'm satisfied.

Works easily and fast, even for novices
I used this to cut up a tree that fell and got caught in a tree, so it was suspended over a path. The pocket chainsaw did not really work on the suspended tree because it was not well supported.But once I got the tree on the ground the pocket chain saw was much faster and easier in processing wood than the reciprocating saw and axes that I normally use. I still had trouble with binding when I was about to finish going through the limb. But at that point I found a couple of hits with a tomahawk to finish the job.While I don’t count as an outdoorsman, I found this to be much more efficient than an axe or a saw. And a good intermediate step before escalating to a powered chainsaw.
