You think this works?
Video looks odd
$20 experiment?
Good cardio workout
Anyone have one?

Workout for sure.?ÿ
I don't immediately see why it would have any advantage over an ordinary wood saw except for portability, and possibly a lower efficiency.
Video looks odd
That's not real time, it's speeded up and jerky.?ÿ The way they show it, it's faster than a powered chainsaw and I sure don't believe that can be.

That video looks straight up fake.
I like the folding saw, always been a sucker for the Japanese brands especially ARS and Silky, from my landscaping days.

Not an endorsement of the vendor, just the first link I found.?ÿ
To be fair, I have never really done a lot of chainsaw brushing, but if I did I would want internal combustion or electricity involved.
I looked a a couple of videos with a saw similar to the one @alan-roberts posted. To me it looks like they are using dead wood in their examples. Although the thing works, it seems to require a lot more energy than a folding tree saw. ?????ÿ
Aren't most chainsaws portable? Asking for a friend. ?????ÿ
The only advantage to the chain is having a longer rope on each end, then throwing it over a limb you would not be able to cut with another saw.
The first chain has teeth on both sides of the chain and they alternate with 2 teeth facing one way, then 2 facing the other way (with exceptions).
Those hand-powered pocket saws will work and do require some muscle and sweat.
They have a good one on Amazon. Take it for camping. Seems like a good survival tool.
I have all kinds of saws. Chain, pole, various loppers both large and small. sandvik pruning saw.
My situation is cutting a limb and suckers growing from neighbor tree on?ÿ my roof. A multi trunk ash. It's been a problem for many years. Last Saturday, got up on the extension ladder with lopper and pole saw and trimmed most of the limbs and suckers away. PIA. Minor aerobatics required to do this every few years. A few years ago, neighbors hired a tree trimmer crew to rectify BUT they hired the lowballer Bevis & Butthead company who just emasculated the tree and disappeared.?ÿ?ÿ
If I could toss this over the limb, using ropes to saw then no ladder. Problem over.
Neighbor said they want to take the whole tree down but I know that's not happening.

I have an Ash tree in the back yard. Came home from a vacation and a widowmaker had fallen off it, half in the yard and half up the tree.
That was the second one, the other one was still hanging in the tree so I called one of the local tree guys to clean the tree up.
He left it looking like Charlie Browns Christmas tree.
I was upset, I wasn't expecting that much to be taken off.
He insisted that it would be wonderful and strong in no time. He was correct that tree has been close to perfect since he worked it over. It filled back out in a couple of seasons and no more trouble in the big winds or early snows.
The right tree guy is valuable, the wrong tree guy is a disaster.
The ONLY advantage of those is they are very compact. Ages ago when I was a mountain guide, we were all advised to carry one one with us, in case we needed to cut saplings for stretcher poles, or cut out a heli-pad for emergency pickup.
For surveying, any other reasonably sharp tool is going to do a better job. Particularly fond of fiskars machetes and dewalt 20v chainsaws.
