Commando Wire Saw?

[krawnden 1,036]

Anyone used one of these http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/commando-wire-saw-269-p.asp ? Thinking it might be a useful thing to have in your pocket for cutting bits of branch, root etc.

never have done mate , keep some secauters in the bag for that, wrong spelling , but you know what I mean. .

Used to use similar things years ago as a kid making dens and ropeswings in the woods.

 

Every single one we ever bought snapped on its first use so we swapped to an old folding pruning saw

But admittedly, a decent (fellow or similar) pair of secateurs will go through anything up to an inch or more.

Yeah, I keep secateurs in the bag, but I don't think they'd go through something as thick as an inch, and certainly not on anything bigger. I liked the look of that wire saw as it's so small and light.

Keep a sharp edge on your spade and use It. its a bugger with the vibration threw your hands but you get there if the roots to big dig round it and angle down

You'd be surprised what you can get through with a decent pair of secateurs. We use felcos at work.

And can be doubled up ,,to extract rabbits you can't reach with your hands,,

Same as jax13 always broke i first bought them thinking what a good idea but wouldnt buy again.

I suppose you could always tie a couple of loops of paracord through the ends of a length of old chainsaw chain.

Like has been said folding saw is far superior
