Manual Hand Steel Travel Tools Outdoor Camping Hiking Rope Chain Saw Practical Portable Emergency Survival Gear Steel Wire Kits

A folding saw is one of those things you leave at home right up until the moment you need one. This wire saw solves that by being small enough to forget about — the whole thing packs into roughly 7 x 4 x 1.7cm, which is smaller than a wallet and light enough to live permanently in a daypack, glovebox or first-aid kit.

Stretched out, it is 72cm of toothed steel wire with a plastic finger hook at each end. You loop it over the branch, take a handle in each hand, and work it back and forth — the length means long strokes and fast cutting, and because it flexes it will reach into places a rigid blade simply cannot. It handles wood, plastic, bone, rubber and soft metals.

Why You'll Love It

• Disappears into your kit. At around 7cm folded, it takes up less room than a spare torch battery.
• Cuts more than firewood. The steel wire works through plastic, bone, rubber and soft metal as well as timber.
• Reaches awkward angles. Being flexible, it wraps around branches that a fixed blade cannot get a line on.
• Two-handed control. Plastic finger hooks give you a secure grip so you are pulling the wire, not gripping it.
• Nothing to break down. No motor, no fuel, no battery to find flat at the campsite.
• Two colours. Black or orange — orange is the sensible pick if you tend to put things down in leaf litter.

How to Use It

1. Unwind the wire fully and take one finger hook in each hand.
2. Loop the wire over or around the branch you want to cut.
3. Pull with long, alternating strokes, keeping the wire as straight as possible.
4. Avoid bending it into a tight U shape — the straighter the run, the faster it cuts and the longer the wire lasts.
5. Wind it back up and return it to its pouch when finished.

Great For

Campers, hikers, four-wheel drivers and anyone who keeps an emergency kit in the boot. It is a sensible addition to a bushwalking pack where a hatchet is more weight than the job warrants. Keep away from children — the wire is genuinely sharp.
