Fit for purpose if confined to its purpose i.e. cutting up sticks for camp fires but not suited to pruning trees mainly because the chain can turn itself around to its non-cutting side and the thing can get stuck meaning you somehow need to be able to reach it with a pole. YouTube is full of videos about the perils of using pocket chainsaws to prune tall trees.
No.1 piece of advice if you're thinking of buying one of these for tree-pruning...get the (more expensive) doubled-sided chainsaw.
It seems to cut small diameter wood (10 cms) adequately. Not sure how long the saw would remain sharp.

Keep one in the car in case you are up in the woods and a tree falls blocking your way. These things are remarkably slow, but they will do the job. I have cut exactly 1 10" hardwood with one of these.
It sucked, but did the job. Unsure if it would take the head off of a Salty that had it coming to it, but perhaps Paul can speak to that? https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Faustralia-news%2F2023%2Fjun%2F13%2Fmanhunt-for-serial-crocodile-killer-in-queensland-after-second-decapitation
