Usage Scenario
While on a weekend backpacking trip, you find the trail blocked by a fallen tree. Instead of turning back, you pull out your portable wire saw from your pack. You attach the handles, loop the chain around the branch, and start sawing. Within minutes, the branch is cut, and you continue your hike without delay. The saw folds back into your pocket, ready for the next challenge.
