Oregon powersharp.

Anyone ever used one?

It works reasonably well for the consumer who cannot or will not learn to sharpen a chain properly. For most of us here it is a waste of time and money.

Agreed!

I wonder, though, if it might be good for some wildland firefighters. I'm sure their saws hit rocks and dirt. I know some use carbide chains, but for others who might not it could be quickest way (?) to get back to the action when time is of the essence.

I bought two on a clearance sale.  Put a 16" set on my 46cc Poulan 2750.  Its a nice little combo for small limbing.  In FL there is a LOT of sand and can dull a blade quick - 3 seconds and you are back on the job with the powersharp.

The Powersharp  has its place for the consumer, even for the guy brushing out an acre of scrub.

That little barracuda chain design is nothing new. Been around for over 50 years back in the day when the sharpening stone was built into the sprocket cover.
That chain cuts good for the size of wood it was designed for.
