Just got another sweet tool to store in the Jeep. Although I still haven't got around to mounting my Crovel (https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...vel-multi-tool).

This time it's a Pocket Chainsaw. It comes in a tin which is rather small and easily stored in the glove box or rear storage... uh... thing. The handles don't fit in the tin which kind of defeats the purpose. They do remove/install quickly.

It's blade is over 2ft. and seems pretty damn sharp. I tried it out on some tree limbs in the yard. It works. I'll end up hurting myself with it at some point. It'll probably come in handy when the bleeding stops.

Just thought I'd share. At least this thing doesn't have to be mounted anywhere.

 

Thats petty bad ass. I have a cable saw and a folding pruning saw in my kit. I've never used the cable saw, I have my doubts about it honestly but it came with my survival kit. After having to hack up a fallen tree with a hand axe and being shown up by a ranger with a folding pruning saw I added one to my jeep kit. I keep it all as well as other shit hits the fan gear in a black molle backpack in the back of the jeep. If you recommend it, I may have to add one of those chain saws

Pretty cool! Where did you get it?

 

I got mine from thinkgeek(dot)com. If you search pocket chainsaw, there's a few places online that carry it.

 

Ya, I have one of those and they work quite well. I find that you have to keep it oiled or it won't work well...the links stick and it won't line up with the cut. Overall though, it's worth keeping in the rig.

 

Good tip on keeping it oiled. I'll keep that in mind. I guess if it sits rolled up on the tin for too long with out oil it could bind pretty easy.

 

I have an old one with nylon strap handles that comes in handy. Great for trees on trails that you don't want to chance driving over and can't get around. My motor wears out quickly though, so it's not much fun making a stack of firewood.

 

Thats a pretty sweet tool. Im gonna have to order one. Thanks for posting it up

 

It's awesome I used it for camping! Great tool to have! I have even given them out as gifts before.

 

No doubt this would be convenient to have on hand for emergency use, but you’re begging for a trip to the first aid !!!

I sound like a grump, but there are other better, safer choices, like a foldable and locking 6-8” camping saw / pruning saw - it is significantly simpler, safer and easier to cut logs with, and requires no oiling or set-up, and remains sharp after alot of use.

The lightweight ones where the blade folds into the plastic handle are sturdy and fit in the glovebox or seat-back pocket (where mine is).
