    Well, it does includes a cutting chain. Thus, this thread is here.

    It's a manual "powered" cutting tool for limbs out of reach.

    Gloves, cordage, handles, and file.

    Also includes throw bags. Rocks/weights, not included.

    Interesting chain. Cutters and rakers on top and bottom.

    My BIL has one and it got done what he wanted it to do.

    My guess is that once out if the case, it'll never all go back in easily.

    I can feel my arms starting to burn just thinking about that chain-on-rope limb sawing action.
    Wondering tho what kinda chain speed you’re going to achieve?

    Happy belated birthday Mike as I'm just seeing this.

    Looks like a fun new toy. Give it a try and let us know how it works.

    At 60 he might qualify for a turbo upgrade. I think it is covered by Medicare part C

    I suppose once in place, one end could be on a heavy spring and use a foot on the other end, like a treadle. Rube Goldberg would smile.
