Well, there's no point in deluding yourself that this type of saw will be effective and convenient to use. The point here is that it can fit anywhere and weighs nothing. With a bit of practice, it is possible to cut thicker pieces of wood with it—I recommend checking out how to use it properly on YouTube, so it doesn't get jammed. To sum up, it's perfect for EDC and does its job. It could be a little cheaper.

Lightweight, compact, and durable hand chainsaw. Cuts wood and plastics well, easy to carry, although you need to put in some effort with thicker branches.
-
Light saw, cuts well, cheap, takes up little space in a bag or backpack, not too long. Very good gear to have just in case—you need strength for cutting, but I recommend it.
-
A very good product for this type of saw. In my opinion, it’s intended for emergency gear. It’s not for everyday long-term use, but as an EDC item for emergencies. I recommend this quality product. It managed to cut through wood with a 9 cm diameter in 5 minutes.
-
Very useful gadget, very helpful in case of emergency. Weighs almost nothing, so it's worth having for trips outdoors. The saw works as it should, but remember to use it with your 'arms straight', because if you saw at too sharp an angle, it will jam in the wood.

In terms of quality, this is a very good product for this type of saw. Of course, in my opinion, this saw is intended for emergency gear, and its task, besides cutting, is to take up as little space as possible. It is not a saw for everyday long-term use, but as an EDC element for emergencies, it is still of good quality. I recommend the product.
-
For this price, everyone should have this gadget in their backpack!!! It’s a saw for small branches and handles them very well; it's important to cut with your hands straight, pretty much like with an ordinary saw.
-
The saw is a bit smaller than I expected, but maybe that's better—easier to store it at the waist or in your pocket. It's light and cheap, so it seems worth it. Comes in a cardboard box.
-
Worth carrying in case of need.
-
Cuts great, small, it's worth putting some twigs between the rings for comfort when cutting.
-
Cuts dry wood well and hardly slips before it 'bites in.'
-
Good for branches.
-
Surprisingly efficient saw—a test cut of a dead branch (still fairly moist) about 8 cm in diameter took me 3-4 minutes without much effort. It weighs next to nothing—worth having in your backpack.
-
Nice gadget, I recommend using gloves or a stick—two sticks, one in each loop :)
-
It saws, but I agree with the advice for those not fully initiated yet, don’t try to saw with bare hands—use two thick sticks, or if unavailable, a bunch of twigs or even grass placed in the 'key rings' changes everything, otherwise you can ruin your adventure in the wild.
