The '''Small Chainsaw''' is a [[weapon]] in ''[[Dead Rising]]'', ''[[Chop Till You Drop]]'' and ''[[Dead Rising Mobile]]''.

It is a much smaller version of the [[chainsaw]] that can be wielded single-handedly, and can be stored in your Inventory, unlike its counterpart. This is one of the most useful weapons in the game (aside from the unlockable [[Real Mega Buster]] and [[Laser Sword (Dead Rising)|Laser Sword]]), and it also lasts much longer than its [[Chainsaw (Dead Rising)|bigger cousin]].

In Dead Rising, the small chainsaw spawns at the [[Space Rider]] in [[Wonderland Plaza]] after defeating the [[Psychopath|psychopathic]] clown [[Adam MacIntyre]]. In Chop Till You Drop, the small chainsaw spawns next to the fruits in the [[Security Room]].<ref>[http://mycheats.1up.com/view/faq/3168598/66889/dead_rising/wii Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop Walkthrough and FAQ by darkhisham], ''1up.com'', (March 1, 2009).</ref>

== Attacks ==
*'''Primary''': Tap the {{xbutton}} button to swing the small chainsaw. This attack can remove a [[zombie]]'s head or limb.
*'''Thrown''': Hold down the {{Rtrigger}} trigger to go into aim mode then press the {{xbutton}} button to throw the small chainsaw.

Be careful using the small chainsaw when escorting survivors, as they can be hit easily and have their health severely damaged.
==Durability==
The Small Chainsaw is one of the few items that can be strengthened three times by picking up three types of [[books]]. They are the [[Entertainment]] book, the [[Engineering]] book, and the [[Criminal Biography]] book. With these three in effect, the player can kill an incredible '''2,160 enemies''' (zombies and psychopaths alike).

==Trivia==
{{further|mistakes}}

* With 80 hits, the Small Chainsaw is 4 times more durable than the chainsaw (20 hits).<ref name="real">[http://deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/{{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}} {{PAGENAME}}], ''deadrising.wikia.com''.</ref>
* [[Adam MacIntyre]] uses two of these as his main attack against Frank. Adam can also spin his two chainsaws, but Frank cannot outside of modifications.
* The official guide fails to mention the [[Entertainment]] book: "Take a quick moment to run up the set of stairs and grab another Small Chainsaw on the ground near the console. These things come in handy, especially if Frank is carrying the Criminal Biology [Biography] and Engineering Books, which allow them to last up to three times as long as normal."<ref name="page{{#if:|{{{1}}}|}}">{{cite book

*With [[books]] from around the mall, the small chainsaw is more durable. The [[Criminal Biography Book]] (Found in [[Sir Book-a-Lot]], [[Wonderland Plaza]]), [[Engineering]] book and [[Entertainment]] book (Both found in [[Bachman's Bookporium]], [[Paradise Plaza]]) each triple the durability of the chainsaw; with all three books, the small chainsaw can go from withstanding 80 hits to a massive 2160 hits and last a very long time.
*This weapon is highly effective against Psychopaths, as it can kill them in just a few attacks, making the game much easier.
*Unfortunately, the Small Chainsaw does not spawn in [[Overtime Mode (Dead Rising)|Overtime Mode]]. However, Overtime Mode will automatically begin after Ending A and all of Frank's items are carried over, which can include the Small Chainsaw(s) and its related books.
*Surprisingly the Small Chainsaw does as much damage as the Real Mega Buster, making it tied with the Real Mega Buster as 3rd most damaging weapon in the game, surpassed only by the [[Sausage Rack]], [[Steel Rack]], [[Shelf]] and [[Laser Sword (Dead Rising)|Laser Sword]].
