Others may have had better experiences and I'd certainly like to hear where a better wire saw can be obtained
The best ones are available here at
http://www.bestglide.com/Wire_Saw_Info.htmlThe wire saw is limited to what it can achieve compared to a Bacho Laplander or even the saw blade on a Leatherman tool but considering its size and weight it could make all the diffference in certain situations. It is a SERE tool and it has other uses than just cutting tree branches which are not generally mentioned.
