For decades, we've used pocket knives to cut tape, open boxes, and perform all manner of mundane tasks. But if you're looking for something different from your typical blade, this Pocket ChainSaw may add some extra flair to those tasks and your more adventurous, on-the-go cutting needs, and powerfully so. And right now, it's $7 off when you use coupon code POCKETCHAIN7 at checkout.
This miniature chainsaw by Supreme Products is supposedly tough enough to cut through a three-inch wooden tree limb in under 15 seconds, but that's just the beginning. You can cut through brush, bushes, roots, and more. Unlike a professional-grade, cumbersome chainsaw, this device would be helpful for inexperienced homeowners, avid gardeners, and general outdoors people. Heck, who hasn't wanted a more efficient way to cut through foliage?
As for your unruly bushes near the front windows of your home, toss the rusted-out pruning shears and make the job quicker — and more fun, for that matter. The 124 bidirectional teeth ensure everything in the chainsaw's path is sliced to your liking. When fully uncoiled, this chainsaw is just 28 inches, weighing five ounces (less than a third of a pound), and can be toted around in your shirt pocket. Not to mention, the Pocket ChainSaw is eco-friendly and does not give off any greenhouse gas emissions like an electric or gas-powered saw would.
It's effective, and then some, to the point that it's used by the U.S. military. Meridith S. a verified customer who gave the Pocket ChainSaw 5/5 stars, said "I bought this for my father's 70th birthday. He loves everything outdoors and is a volunteer preserve manager for a local conservancy. I couldn't believe his reaction to such a small and simple gift. Great for anyone who spends most of their time in the yard."
For just $22.99 and a bit of elbow grease, the Pocket ChainSaw you can replicate get the job done just like traditional power tools, and it's a lot more affordable.
As Ars Technica puts it, "ISPs can't find any judges who will block California's Net Neutrality law", and it's not like they haven't been shopping hard. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, who voted for federal net neutrality rules in 2015 and opposed their repeal in 2017, applauded yesterday's court decision."This is big. Because when the FCC… READ THE REST
⍼, "RIGHT ANGLE WITH DOWNWARDS ZIGZAG ARROW", is a Unicode character of uncertain origin. It may be summoned as the HTML entity ⍼. Jonathan Chan set out to uncover its mysterious purpose, a journey that led way back to Unicode's own antecedents. The meaning of ⍼ will be whatever meaning is assigned by whoever uses… READ THE REST
