IRWIN Tools ProTouch Coping Saw 2014400

I absolutely love it!!!!! It is so easy to use and I only regret that it took me so long to discover this gem!

I just bought this tool, having not used a Coping Saw for decades! I needed to change out the 17pt Coarse Cut blade (that came with the saw), with a 21pt Fine Cut blade (purchased separately). However, I had no memory of how, exactly, to change the blade! Believing it would be simple and practical, I ignored the single review that reported the requirement of a “vice and a wrench”, and, checked the IRWIN Website first .... Unfortunately, there is no easily accessed answer here! (That disappointment cost 1 Star in my review). So, I checked YouTube. Success! My intuition was correct, and - I'm right handed - by simply turning the handle Counter-Clockwise, while securely holding the yellow capped pin and frame in my left hand, I very easily loosened the tension, allowing me to quickly remove and replace the blade! Turning the handle Clockwise tightened the 21pt Fine Cut blade, and, in LESS THAN a MINUTE-AND-A-HALF, I had changed blades AND COMPLETED MY 1st CUT! [However, I can't recall if the (downward pointing) teeth on the blade should angle AWAY from the handle or TOWARD the handle?! The saw works either way! I'm quite happy with this Coping Saw!
