Bonesaw (Fallout 3)

A  bonesaw is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A bonesaw is a type of pre-War handheld medical tool used primarily for amputations. The item is portable, has a metal saw for cutting into flesh and bone, and a wooden handle. This item is associated with other handheld medical equipment on a compartment tray and often accompanies them. The Pip-Boy categorizes the bonesaw as a junk item. It is therefore useful only as Rock-It Launcher ammunition as it cannot be used as a weapon.

Bonesaws in the vaults are communally owned and were passed from one generation to the next. The expectation of vault residents is that the bonesaws will be properly cleaned and maintained to ensure their usability. However, in the wasteland, they are commonly found in torture rooms, near mutilated bodies, or in medical clinics.
