It looks like it'd be a pain to attach and detatch, to the point where you'd probably end up with a second saw permanently dedicated to it. At that point, why not carry a real chainsaw? I suppose the foot plate makes it easy to keep level, but you could bolt something similar onto a regular chainsaw in a few minutes, and end up with a lighter, more maneuverable assembly. It does look bad-ass, though. I mentally replay the drill scene from Uncle Buck whenever tools like this come up, and I tellya what, a foot-long bar and chain sticking off the bottom of a circular saw has extreme fear-inspiring potential.
