CAMPNDOOR High Limb Rope Saw 53 In - Zero Effort 360 Rope Chain Saw - Sharp Manual Tree Limb Cutter - Hand Chainsaw with Ergonomic Handles and Carrying Case - Fast and Easy Pocket Chainsaw

High quality product comprised of high quality parts. I was skeptical of its ability to perform but had the first limb on the ground within minutes of unpacking. Very easy to use once it is over the limb to be cut. The frustrating part is throwing a line over the limb to be cut to hoist the rope chainsaw, which is an acquired skill. The chain is sharp, build quality is excellent and the kit is very compact and contained within a very nice zippered semi-hard case. The line, chainsaw, carabiners, gloves, and handles are all of high quality. This kit WORKS.

Works extremely well. Super quick cut. Use short pull strokes, two people(with my wife of extremely limited mechanical ability), spread apart as far as possible, and cut as perpendicular to the branch as possible. Will save you lots of money. Great quality as far as I am concerned.

Update (changing the rating to 4 stars) - The replacement rope saw arrived without any issues. Used it to 3 branches at around 25 ft. Worked well, and it was much safer than using a tall ladder. The reason for 4 stars - it took many throws to get to the right branch, and then a few times the saw got stuck in the branch, that needed couple of good yanks. _______ Ordered new rope saw, and received USED one today. The chain is broken in 2 pieces with small wood chips stuck in it. Disappointed. Requested replacement.

Fabulous and effective. I had 3 large overhanging limbs (about 24 inches in diameter) about 25 ft plus above the ground. It is early spring (before they refilled with moisture). I improvised a bit with a rubber hammer as the ‘toss lead’ and tossed the mallot with a thin nylon string as a feed line, and then towed the heavy product rope over the limbs. (at 76 tossing a rubber mallot 30 feet is still doable :-). And even at my age, was able to saw the limbs off with about 15 to 20 cycles. I was amazed at the ability to cut the limbs. Be very very careful of the potential fall lines and be well clear. The weight and size of limbs are deceiving when they are ‘swaying’ 25 feet above the grond. But it saved me calling a tree service and saved them from growing over power lines and/or the house. Product is extremely usefull for limbs that are largely horizontal and about to hang over sensitive structures. Highly recommend the product, and would buy it again (although it will probably never wear out).

Great product and customer service. Cut through an oak branch the size of my leg (I'm a big guy) like butter. Customer service and support were great and responsive when assisting me correcting an error that resulted from overuse, the saw snapped in half after quit a bit of yard work. It is important to remember what this product is and base your expectations on that. If you have some skill with items such as this you will be able to complete many tasks in your yard or at camp with ease. Any product like this has a bit of a learning curve in regards to use, endurance, and proper placement on a tree. Always use your brain and be safe!! Follow the instructions and get help if you think you need it. For me it was and is a blessing and had saved me lots of money to complete the job that needed to be done at the time. I will be using it again for sure.

It works great but a BIG down fall is the handles are not very sturdy. After taking 1 branch down, the handle is bent bad. It's only a plastic pipe under the foam cover and thin plastic at that. Really wished they were more sturdy.

I had a large Hickory tree that was growing sideways and it was leaning over my pole barn. I had three professionals refuse to touch it because they were worried that the tree would kick out if cut and hurt them. Even cutting the top piece by piece was dangerous because the main tree would jump up as it got lighter. The roots were starting to pull out of the ground and I needed to do something, so I bought this kit and cut the tree down. I threw a string over the trunk about 20 feet in the air, pulled the cutting chain into place, and with the help of my son, pulled back and forth until the tree fell. It was hard to pull the chain back and forth, but the saw chain cut at an amazing rate. I used my own rope and we stood back from the tree, holding the ends at a 90 degree angle from each other. At the point we were cutting, the truck was 20 inches in diameter. The plastic handles bent, so I stuck a wood dowel in the hole and it worked fine. Instead of sending thousands of dollars, i used this kit and it worked great. Thanks, Pat

This rope saw, went from a one star to a sty star. Once I figured out the issue was me, the operator of the tool. The chain was not sliding easily through the limb, and I realized I did not have a very good cutting an angle. The chain kept getting in a bind. To allow for a more appropriate angle I used to help her to pull one side while I pull the other and as a result down, came the 6 inch limb. The chain is extremely sharp and made very short work of this tree limb. All of the other components are also very well built. Would highly recommend. Be safe.
