Helikon Wire Saw

This manual chainsaw is lightweight, handy and durable. It effectively cuts wood and plastics and is easy to transport, though for thicker branches it takes a bit more effort.

Lightweight saw that cuts well and is cheap, doesn't take up much space in a bag or backpack, although it’s not long. It's very practical equipment, good to have it just in case. Requires some strength to cut, but I recommend it.

This is a very good product as far as this type of saw goes. In my opinion, it works best as an emergency item in your kit. It's not suitable for everyday, long-term use, but it's perfect for unexpected situations. I recommend it—high quality, it sawed through a 9 cm diameter log in five minutes.

Very practical gadget, particularly useful in emergencies. It's lightweight, so it's good to have it during outdoor trips. The saw works as it should, but it's worth remembering to use it with straightened arms – at too wide an angle it’s harder to cut and it jams in the wood.

In terms of quality, it’s a really good product for this category of saws. In my opinion, it works best as an emergency piece of equipment because it takes up little space and can be used for quick cuts if needed. I don’t recommend it for everyday and long-term use, but as part of EDC gear for unexpected situations it’s solid and worth having. I recommend it!

At this price, everyone should have this gadget in their backpack! It's great for thinner branches and handles them very well—just remember to use hand motions like with a traditional saw.

The saw is a bit smaller than I expected, but maybe that's for the best—it’s easier to hide at the belt or in a pocket. It's light and inexpensive, so it seems like a good investment. Packed in a cardboard box.

It's worth carrying just in case.

Cuts fantastically, small, and for greater comfort you can put twigs between the rings when cutting.

It handles dry wood well and barely slips before it properly catches the cutting point.

Good choice for branches.

Surprisingly efficient – cutting through a fairly wet dead branch about 8 cm in diameter in a test took only 3-4 minutes and didn't require much effort. It weighs practically nothing – worth having it in your backpack.

Nice gadget, I recommend using gloves or sticks—one for each loop.

It saws as it should, but I agree that beginners shouldn't use it with bare hands. Placing two thicker sticks or even a bundle of twigs into the metal rings definitely improves comfort. Otherwise, you might ruin your adventure in the great outdoors.

Very lightweight and compact saw. Takes up very little space. Handy for trips outdoors. I definitely recommend it!
