User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work on concrete or hydraulic cement? If not, any recommendation for hand saw that does? Thanks
Answer:	I counted 10 teeth per inch. However, it should be mentioned that the teeth are configured more like Japanese configured teeth and have a very aggressive cutting action and they are heat treated.
Question:	How many points per inch
Answer:	I was wondering the same when I bought the chisels several years ago. I also wrote in my comments that handles in reality are not as shown in the picture.
Question:	Why don't Irwin post the picture that is actually the style they are now making and selling ? This lead picture is misrepresenting the product
Answer:	Thank you for choosing Irwin Tools. Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality and service. For the Irwin M444SB6N Blue Chip Bevel Edge Woodworking Chisel Set we would suggest you put them back in the box.
Question:	Once i chisel the hole in the wood, where do i put the chisels? back in the tool box or into the shed? where will they feel more comfortable
Answer:	Without taking them to a lab, one would have to guess what the hardness is. I did however flatten the backs down and sharpen them with a tool grinder. The sparks coming off were compound which would indicate it isn't mild steel. The company claims RC 58 to RC 61 on the Rockwell C Scale, which is the traditional hardness range of English manufacturers for keen edge tools.
Question:	what is the rockwell hardness of these chisels
Answer:	Here is the response I received after contacting Irwin. I hope the tools end up being better quality than the poorly made box they come in. SubjectAsk Irwin: Question Submitted Discussion Thread Response Via Email (Christina B.) 07/08/2014 01:09 PM EDTGood Afternoon!Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools. Our chisels started out in England, however, they are made in China now. The metal is the same quality due to our hardening process and we still have the same Irwin standards as always. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank You, Christina B.Irwin Consumer Brands Consumer Relations
Question:	Are these made in England (as is shown on the chisels in the product picture
Answer:	Im sorry but I did not buy this lamp.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anybody try cutting green/live tree branches with this? How did it do
Answer:	I cut up to 6in branches, no problem. Oiled it before to prevent binding, stop rust. Not too good on really small branches.
Question:	Can it cut emt
Answer:	It is a wood cutting saw. emt will ruin it. That being said I really like mine.
Question:	Will it cut smooth enough for trim
Answer:	The new saw sharp will cut trim ready for installation.
Question:	Trying to turn my small diningtable into floor table by trimming the legs... Anyone recommend this
Answer:	Best way would be to cut the legs on a table saw. But if one is not available you would need a finer tooth saw blade. The finest tooth saw would be 12 pt part number 2011200 if you need to use a hand saw.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it cut in both directions
Answer:	Although I have seen saw sharpeners on the market, in the past I have only used a triangular file on my saws. This saw, however, remains sharp for a very long time, and quite frankly, it is more likely to be 'permanently loaned' to someone than it is to go dull! :-)
Question:	How many teeth per inch
Answer:	Not sure if I would use this tool for ivy vines. I suggest a "sharp" hand pruner to cut the vines.
Question:	What is the blade number? Thanks
Answer:	Oh hell yes this saw eats a 2x4 like a twig I had a similar Destin that can not hold a candle to this one I can cut a 2x6 or 4x4 with it faster then I can set up a chop saw or my circular saw for a few cuts .. You;'ll not be sorry if you decide on this little saw.. Cuts a 2x4 like a hot knife through butter goes with the grain just as well for notching cuts
Question:	where is this saw made
Answer:	Stanley Fat Max is by far the best. I have used it several times. Windstorms continue to wreck my trees and this saw cuts through everything I have encountered. Great grip and superior blade.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many teeth per inches does it have
Answer:	I bought this thinking it was a rip. That's what I searched for. It's not, but I was surprised how much I liked it and I kept it. It's a general purpose saw. It's shorter than I expected. Nice and sharp. The set is wider than my other saws, that's true, but it's not dramatic. I like this saw. It feels good and it's easy to be accurate with. So--there you go.
Question:	Would you say that the cut a rough or smooth finished
Answer:	According to the manufacturer this saw has hardened teeth that last 5x longer. This is typically referred to as induction or impulse hardened and is NOT SHARPENABLE. If you do sharpen with a diamond soft metal will be exposed. Also carbide is sharpenable by a sharpening service but is rarely if ever found on a hand saw.
Question:	How is this saw packaged for shipping. Is it going to be bent when it arrives
Answer:	Crosscut
Question:	Is this saw considered to be a cross-cut saw or a ripping saw
Answer:	Soft metals, yes (bronze, low carbon steel). Not sure about high carbon and stainless steel.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this saw be sharpened easily
Answer:	Pack
Question:	Has anyone figured our where to get a replacement blade
Answer:	It fit my 2011 Buick Regal.
Question:	Would you recommend the 15 inch blade or 12 inch blade for cutting 2x4s, plywood for household projects
Answer:	Hello! Our ballast is designed just like the factory (OEM) ballast. Due to the way the circuit board mounts inside the casing (which has no edges until the cover goes on), it would not be feasible to pour potting compound on it (it would pour out over the sides and also would not cover the bottom). As such, exactly as with the factory ballast, it expects that the headlight is kept water sealed. The new rubber seal that comes with the ballast ensures that water does not enter between the housing and the ballast. It is however imperative that the rest of the headlight's seals are also in good shape. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask! You can also reach us at [email protected]
Question:	Is this the right saw for cutting 12 inch logs
Answer:	Hello! Yes, this will fit the 2005 Jaguar XK8. To be completely sure, please check to make sure your headlight has the "LAD5G" ballast (note that there is no "L" at the end). If you have any more questions or concerns, please ask!
Question:	Is it a rip cut or crosscut saw
Answer:	Yes, these will work with your 2005 Porsche Cayenne. I installed these ballast on my 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo and they work perfectly, even the corning light function still works.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	I don't think regular hacksaw blades will work correctly in this even if they lock in. Honestly, there's no need to use a hacksaw blade when the Sawzall blades that are meant for it come in every possible configuration for all your cutting needs
Question:	Can we get a refund
Answer:	Mine only came with 1 blade. I'm contacting them to send me the rest. The description clearly states (3) THREE blades are included. I paid for all 3, I want all 3!!! False advertising if they do not send them all. If it only comes with one, the description should be changed ASAP!!
Question:	Where is this saw made
Answer:	The hand sawzall/hackzall will be useful, however the type of wood in pallets is usually a hardwood and will require a substantial amount of labor to saw by hand. Understanding the $ situation, the best I can suggest is (1) a hand pruning saw & a hacksaw or (2) a reconditioned Milwaukee 2420-20 (small, hand saw) Hackzall(M12: 12 volt) with a pruning blade for the wood & a blade for metal(nails) (the folding saw takes the same blades), and with either setup, a large claw hammer and crowbar.
Question:	Would this saw work at all on small wood if taken camping
Answer:	The locking mechanism holds up great. As an HVAC installer, I have used the tool mainly to cut small holes into drywall so nothing to difficult, but I have had no issues.
