Put a Chainsaw in Your Pocket

Contrary to popular opinion, a chainsaw doesn't need to be big, heavy, or powered by a gas engine. The Pocket Chainsaw works just like a normal chainsaw — sharp teeth on a chain — but relies on your own strength so it can fit into your pocket.

The 24-inch pocket chainsaw can be used by one or two people, and folds up into a four inch pouch to fit in your pocket or glove compartment. Even if you have a regular saw, the pocket chainsaw can be useful to cut stuff at angles too awkward for normal saws, and since it works forwards and backwards it'll cut through whatever you throw at it in no time.
