User questions & answers

Question:	What saw blade comes with this coping saw? course or fine
Answer:	Amazon specify that the blade that comes with the saw has 17pts. That would make it the coarse blade as fine blades have 21pts blades
Question:	Can blade be locked to 90° position
Answer:	The blade can be tightened in any position but I don’t think that is has any notched positions available that it can be locked in.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Like Kobalt, True Tempure, Craftsman , Irwin has gone with these companies to provide above standard low cost premium tools, made in China. Now let's look at the other end of the spectrum, Fruend, German tool manufacturer sells their stainless steel coping saw for about 89.00 with one blade. Irwin sells for under 20.00 with an additional pack of blades[ 3] for about 7.00.
Question:	Does the handle unscrew to loosen the tension on the blade
Answer:	Yes it does, holding the holder for blade and turning handle will loosen blade. I always keep the blade tight, unless I am replacing blade.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone uses it for jewlery making? How is it? Thanks
Answer:	I've never used it for jewelry but it cuts wire very crisply and the nose has a flat crimper that would close small metal parts easily.
Question:	does it cut guitar strings ? how about bike break cable
Answer:	As a bike mechanic, I would highly recommend getting a tool specficially for cable cutting. It's a curved blade that won't fray the stands. I expect steel cables will dull this blade quickly.
Question:	How can you tell which crimp area to use? The color codes on the tool show 2 "ranges" of wire gauge, but it looks like there are 3 crimp areas
Answer:	On the left there is a label ("INSUL AND NON-INSUL") that points the center of the two places to crimp, with the one closest to the pivot color coded for blue and yellow connectors (or 16 - 10 gauge), and the next crimp area for red connectors (or 22 - 18 gauge). The bump on the right side between the two is not meant for crimping.
Question:	Where are these made
Answer:	Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools. The country of origin for this self adjusting wire stripper is Taiwan.
