I bought this mostly for fun.
It was reasonably cheap even with the p+p.
I wasn't expecting it to be up to much but was pleasantly surprised.
I've tried it on a few small 25mm to 35mm (approx 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches) branches at home and after mastering the technique was reasonably impressed with it's cutting abilities. At first i thought I could just plop it over a branch and push/pull like shining a pair of shoes but this clogged/jammed. I expect if I was arnold schwarzenneger that wouldn't have been a problem but being only mortal I found I had to have my arms fairly wide spread to keep the angle of bend at the cutting point as flat as possibe. Considering this can be carried in a pocket and weighs next to nothing I think it's excellent. Certainly in a survival situation it could be a life saver. The first cut to make a bow saw and then Bob's your uncle.
How durable it is and how long it will remain viable I don't know yet. But since I am fairly careful and will keep it loosely coiled and kink free I have high hopes.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This was the cheapest Wire Saw on Amazon that I could find.
It does what you want it to, no reason not to get this one from all the others.
I just can't compare it to the others because I don't own them, but I can say that if you're tight on money and need a wire saw, buy this one. It does what they all do.
Although cutting through thick pieces of wood/tree is obviously going to take a while. It cuts through thick plastic even easier than wood as the heat melts the plastic. It doesn't cut through metal though.
A good thing about this wire saw (like I said I have no idea about the others) Is that it can't blunt because it's strands of metal wrapped around each other so there are no teeth. It also means it's safer to hold the wire, but it will leave marks or snag on your skin.
4 Stars because I couldn't tell you if there's a better one. Just that this one is good enough anyway.

I had one of these a while ago when it was all that was available to me. As above, it did not last long even under normal usage. I don't know why I bought it. - I normally stay away from BCB products after a lifetime worth of experience with them. - BCB is a byword for cheap nasty tat in the forces. Few of their products would stand against similar products for quality and durability etc. Buy something better. In fact this goes for any of their products. - Cheap and nasty.

You get what you pay for
I am not sure what use a commando would make of this. For my purposes it is not satisfactory as it does not appear to cut green wood. Read more

Handy saw
I bought this hoping to try using it to get rid of a living tree-stump in my back garden, unfortunately living wood seems to make the saw stick in the slot it's cutting. Read more
