Camillus Highlimb™: Conquer High Branches Safely from the Forest Floor
Design and Practical Application
The core of this tool is a high-performance chain equipped with cutters designed to slice in both directions. This prevents binding and ensures maximum efficiency during use. The chain is connected to long, heavy-duty ropes ending in ergonomic T-shaped handles. These handles are specially weighted, a crucial feature that allows you to toss the line over high branches with accuracy and ease.
To operate, simply throw the weighted lead over the desired limb, position the chain, and use a rhythmic sawing motion. The 24-inch (approx. 61 cm) cutting surface makes quick work of even thick branches. After the job is done, the entire kit folds down into the included nylon storage pouch with a belt loop, making it an essential addition to your outdoor gear rotation.

Historical Context and Tool Evolution
The concept of the flexible saw dates back to the late 18th century, originally developed for medical purposes. Surgeons used wire-like "Gigli saws" to perform amputations and bone resections with minimal tissue damage. By the mid-20th century, the design was adapted for military survival kits. During WWII, paratroopers and special forces carried pocket wire saws to build shelters and clear obstacles behind enemy lines. The Camillus Highlimb™ honors this legacy of portable utility, upgrading the traditional wire to a robust, titanium-coated chain capable of tackling modern landscaping and forestry challenges.
Maintenance and Product Care
To ensure your saw provides a lifetime of service, basic maintenance is required. After each use, clean wood chips and sap from the chain links using a stiff brush. We recommend applying a light coat of machine oil or chain lubricant to the links periodically to prevent oxidation and ensure smooth pivoting. Inspect the ropes for any fraying or signs of wear. Always store the tool in its protective pouch in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Safety Guidelines and Proper Use
When using the Camillus Highlimb™, remember that you are working with a live blade under tension. Always wear heavy-duty work gloves and protective eyewear; falling debris and sawdust can be hazardous. Never stand directly beneath the branch you are cutting; gravity is unpredictable, and falling limbs can cause serious injury. This saw is intended exclusively for wood. Do not attempt to cut metal, PVC, or stone, as this will destroy the cutting edges and potentially cause the chain to snap.
We recommend pairing this tool with a pair of high-dexterity work gloves from our shop to ensure a firm grip and protect your hands from rope burn during extended use.
