IRWIN Tools ProTouch Coping Saw (2014400), Blue & Yellow

This might be too much information, haha. I bought this saw to cut off part of my dental night guard. Going to the dentist would have cost me $150 to have them cut off the end of the guard that was bugging me. And I would have need to wait a week for an appointment. This little saw did the trick! I got it next day, cut off the part that was rubbing and sanded it a bit. That was more than a month ago and the night guard works great. Very happy with the little saw. It’s a little size, as in like a jeweler’s size vs woodworking size. Anyhow, very happy and impressed.

I've had the Irwin ProTouch coping saw (2014400) for 5 months now, as an occasional handyman, using it only a coupla times, but happy with it overall at it's price point ($9.98 + tax) w/amazon free shipping).To reiterate (via copy>paste) what others have expressed: "as others have also discovered, I noticed that the slot in the rear blade-holding pin (the one closer to the handle) was at a 15-degree angle with the frame and the handle; it seems quite a few copies slipped through Irwin's QA line" --the blade being slightly bent at the pin because of that; the saw had proven usable --with just a coupla minor projects. One project was cutting rubber as a threshold ramp, 3/4" thick, to custom fit snugly around the door frame molding (having used a Saker contour gauge profile tool to get it's shaping copied). The other was cutting some small sections of sheetrock. The second issue i've seen in other reviews & that match my experience, is: " The 'keeper' nut has no threads. It merely acts as a spacer." Apparently the intended purpose of this nut "is to lock the adjustment side to keep the blade from loosening or turning." The one on mine merely slides along the shaft until you screw than handle down and it butts against it. Again, i've not noticed it affecting usage (thus far), but make note of it please.With my noted usages, it's worked just as coping saws should, in my limited experience, as my dad's old classic wood handle version did over the years. #shoutout to those who's review material i've paid forward, as having been my identical experience :-)

The blade it comes with is bigger than 6/half inches but it does take 6 and a half inch blades this confused me at 1st. Also the pins are a little odd/ off but saw works good so my 1 star review is now a 4.

Yep, I missed my calling...I have worked with trim/paneling for years and never owned a coping saw until speaking with my neighbor, whom I think he was a founding member of our country, anyways he asked me to help him with some boards and I'm always eager to help because this ole fart has the keys to kingdom. Long story short, he hands me a piece of baseboard to hold and he starts Alcatraz file cutting the end and I was like what is this? He showed me the coping saw and the angles he used to create a perfect hidden 90 degree, which is easier said than done with a miter box. I went home and ordered one and used it on our guest room remodel and the trim went together like Rose and a giant oak door; built for two!

Works as it shoud

Strong, sturdy, works perfectly.

I bought this to make some small and odd cuts on vinyl tile flooring. Better than a jig saw for certain cuts. Smooth cuts. Excellent tool. I highly recommend it.

This is a nice quality tool at a decent price. Well made and easy to use.
