No gas or electricity needed for this pocket-sized manual chain saw, the camper's pal. It's 30" long overall, with (82) spring-steel teeth on the 18-1/2" middle section, and canvas loop handles on each end. Imagine a cross between a sharpened bike chain and a garotte. It's easy to use (we tested it), works a whole lot faster than a hatchet, rolls up into no space at all, and stores in the heavy-duty canvas belt pouch that comes with it.

This Stansport product is called the Finger-Tip Saw (although all you really need to cut off fingertips is a good garden pruner).

Comes with one blade installed and two extra in the handle. The scraper to have when you're scraping more than one window. From IIT®.

AKA automatic stripper. Sorry folks, but this one strips insulation to reveal wire, not flesh. Which may still give you a charge, depending upon your hookup!! 6-1/2" Long with pliers type grip and automatic self-adjustment to strip wires from 0.2 to 6mm without damaging the wire says the manufacturer. We recommend use on 18 GA stranded, 22 GA solid wire or heavier as it will cut the wire of lighter weights. A second jaw is a cable cutter. Brand new, made in China. And very handy too, if you are doing anything with wiring.

Our 5" long glass cutter comes in a package that says it’s 6” long, and who cares. (Surplus is our surname.)
