This coping saw is a solid budget-friendly option, offering durability and versatility at a fair price. It comes with three carbon steel blades of varying tooth sizes, which makes it useful for different types of detail work. The frame feels sturdy, the handle is comfortable to grip, and the saw cuts cleanly with plenty of blade tension. The wing nuts make angle adjustments straightforward, giving the tool more flexibility for different cuts.That said, changing blades is where this saw shows its weaknesses. The blade arrived installed backwards, and while removing it was simple, reinstalling or swapping a blade can be frustrating. The frame requires compression to reattach the handle, which is difficult without extra tools (a bench vise helps, but not everyone will have one). The screws and fittings are only average quality, and during use there’s a bit of rotational play in the blade that can’t be fully locked out. Extending the handle **** by even a quarter inch would have made blade changes much more user-friendly.Presentation is minimal—it comes in a box with the saw and blades, no instructions, no frills. Still, for hobbyists or light woodworking, the included blades are durable, the tool performs reliably, and the value is hard to beat. If you anticipate frequent blade changes or want more precision in locking the blade, a higher-end coping saw might be worth the extra investment, but for the price, this one is a decent and capable tool.

This coping saw has been great for small woodworking projects where precision matters. The frame feels solid and keeps the blade tensioned well, so it does not wobble or drift while cutting. The included carbon steel blades are sharp and handle curves and intricate cuts smoothly.The handle is comfortable enough for extended use, with a good grip that does not slip around even when putting a little extra pressure into the cut. Swapping blades is quick and easy, which makes it simple to keep working without much downtime.It is definitely a nice tool for anyone who does trim work, joinery, or craft projects that need clean, controlled cuts. For the price, it feels well-built and dependable, and it has already earned a spot in my regular woodworking kit.

I was really pleased with the quality of this little coping saw. I have had a few coping saws in the past to compare this one to, and I feel that this one is of superior quality to most on the market. The saw is made from high-quality materials and seems to be crafted with care. I found the saw to be extremely functional for its intended purpose as it made precise and clean cuts in the wood I tested it out on. I found the saw to be very easy to use and blade changes take only a second. The price of this saw makes it an excellent value when compared to the quality of saw that you are getting. I recommend for all woodworkers.

I had a coping saw that I got cheap at a hardware store. It worked fine until I lost parts for it. This one looked like a better version than the hardware store one.The good:1. The blades are strong and durable. There is lots of tension to be able to do a cut properly.2. The handle is comfortable.3. It cuts well.The bad:1. The blade came installed backwards. It was very easy to unscrew the handle, but when I tried putting it back together, I didn't have 3 hands, and a flat surface wasn't enough to put the tension on while holding it in place to **** the handle on.2. I had to get my bench vise, which I'm not sure all woodworkers will have, to put enough tension on the frame to get the **** started.3. The screws themselves don't appear to be high quality, just average quality.4. There is some rotational force possible while you're sawing. It would be handy to be able to lock the blade from twisting at all.Could you just have made the **** 1/4" longer? Then it would have been simple to replace blades. The fact that these are carbon steel doesn't mean they don't ever need a different TPI for a different operation.The presentation was in a plastic bag in a box with no instructions. That's probably ok. All in all, a fair value, but you might be happier with a higher end saw if you need to change blades.

I find that a good coping saw is helpful when I want to cut irregular or variable shapes and contours. While it doesn't have quite the precision of a fret saw or a jeweler's saw, it makes up for that with a stronger blade that can cut through thicker material while still providing a great deal of control.This saw is well made. It has a good, well machined frame with a solidly attached handle. Adjusting the tension of the blade or changing blades is very simple. It comes with a sharp blade installed. I tested this on a variety of materials including 1/8" craft plywood, a 1 1/4" wood dowel, a scrap of 5/8" wood laminate flooring, 1" PVC pipe, and 3mm hard plastic. It worked quite well in all of these tests.The blade that is included does not have the 'turn on a dime" turning radius of a fret saw or jeweler's saw, but one option to allow even greater freedom of movement is to use a spiral blade, which also can avoid issues of the blade binding up in some materials.I have found this saw to be a sturdy, comfortable and reliable tool. I can definitely recommend it.
