2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly designed, July 19, 2006

I am a finish carpenter and I used this coping saw on one project. It is very difficult to use effectively since the blade doesn't tighten enough. There is also some nut on the end that falls off at random times. I suggest using the standard coping saw with the wood handle. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

1.0 out of 5 stars bad design, December 6, 2010

This review is from: Irwin 2014400 ProTouch 6-1/2-Inch Coping Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

This Irwin coping saw is poorly designed. The only thing I liked about it was the feel of the handle, but otherwise worked poorly. The nut at the opposing end of the handle falls off periodically, as another person mentioned, and difficult to get the right tension on the blade. The yellow tabs,(on each end of the arm which change blade angles) were bent right out of the package and were very difficult to straighten & re-align because of it's locking threaded design. I'm sure mine was messed up during manufacturing, and the nut at the end can easily be tightened, but the design of jam nuts for tension and the locking threads to align the blade is flawed. A real PITA to use, get the old tried and true version- simple is better.

This is a great saw. Inexpensive but made tuff. It's a great saw, good grip and cuts great. Don't leave home without it.
