a better way to saw

I’ve got 3 American push saws and I started hearing people talk about these Japanese-style pull saws. I friggin love them! They have a super thin kerf and tear through wood and it’s way easier pulling than pushing through. This thing makes a super fine cut, too. I’m now a firm believer in this style of saw and this is the first piece to my collection.

Works great, doesn't like metal ...

I have one of these saws that I've been using off and on for a year or so now. It worked great right up until I hit a nail hiding in the workpiece I was cutting. I suspect that if that hadn't happened, I'd still be using it now. I'm probably going to upgrade to a nicer saw now, but this one worked well enough to get me started and held up fine to normal use. I'd have no qualms about buying another one should the need arise and I would definitely recommend it as a basic workhorse pull saw.

You can't replace the blade!

Irwin made a great little pull saw with a push button blade release which a normal person would imagine is for the purpose of replacing the blade. But wrong. You can't replace the blade. You have to buy a whole new saw. It's so dumb. While this saw works well, I'd never have bought it if I'd known this. Buying something else. And frankly, Lowes shouldn't be selling products that are misleading and trash filling single blade use tools.

Handy saw

Works great as a cut off saw

Irreplaceable for certian situations

THis saw has been a wonderful addition. I have used it on laminate counters cutting close to backsplash where other saws wont fit. Cutting PVC pipe, trimming close to edges even slicing through a 2x4 wuth ease. The fine teeth dont clog up. Cuts fast and straight. Very sharp.

Good cutting, but too flexible.

I've been using this saw for a couple weeks and found that it does cut well, but the blade is too flexible, making it difficult to control, especially when starting a cut, where the blade jumps across the wood edge. Although the saw cuts well, I would not recommend it for fine work. If the saw blade was a bit more rigid, it would create less drag when pulling the saw and improve the chances of getting a clean start at making a kerf.

christmas present

bought with a gift card along with lots of other goodies. haven't used it yet, but always wanted one.

Not like my older marples

Someone stole my old marples tool that looked a lot like this model. Same color but I was sad to see they didn't have the removable blade that makes this such a convenient tool, but decided to try it anyway. I had always been good at getting those perfect right angles with a Japanese style saw and after several hours of trying to familiarize myself with cutting with this one I pulled out a Caliper and found that it doesn't even have the extra thickness this type of saw is most known. Garbage des...
