Title: bad design
Product review: This Irwin coping saw is poorly designed. The only thing I liked about it was the feel of the handle, but otherwise worked poorly. The nut at the opposing end of the handle falls off periodically, as another person mentioned, and difficult to get the right tension on the blade. The yellow tabs,(on each end of the arm which change blade angles) were bent right out of the package and were very difficult to straighten & re-align because of it's locking threaded design. I'm sure mine was messed up during manufacturing, and the nut at the end can easily be tightened, but the design of jam nuts for tension and the locking threads to align the blade is flawed. A real PITA to use, get the old tried and true version- simple is better.
