Irwin 10507424 XP3055-250 12TPI Tenon Saw, 250mm

Although I have used (other peoples) Irwin tools in the past, this is actually the first time I have bought one - AND I am extremely impressed.A small tenon saw that is razor sharp and extremely well made from quality materials means it does a perfect job every time. I have used this saw several times already and I am looking for an 'excuse' to buy more Irwin products. You don't get higher praise than that!I have recently started to get back into woodwork and have found that it has changed beyond all recognition from those very early days in my 20s when I made this and that to save money. These days it is so much easier, what with jigs, electric drills and stuff that I am enjoying making things more now than ever before. With quality tools like this Irwin tenon saw, I can see me spending more and more time in the workshop.

I bought a small Irwin toolbox saw about five years ago and it's been so good I looked for another Irwin when I needed a tenon saw. My previous saw was used for wood and plastic facia boards and only became blunt when I used it to cut breeze blocks when building a large extension. I had it resharped and is now as good as new. I hope this tenon saw lasts as long. I bought a Stanley 'Fat Max' saw which is awful compared to this which is 100% better.

As I have come to expect from Irwin, excellent tool, keeps a straight cut, teeth are very sharp and makes a perfect cut every time in my mitre block.I have used many saws, and I only really recommend the following1. Irwin / Bacho2. Stanley (best for the low budget)there is no point buying cheap Chinese rubbish that will bend and rust, spend a few quid more in something good, like this one

A good addition to any tool box, I have used this for a number of jobs around the house and also on 2 woodwork projects in the shed. The angle of the handle in relation to the cutting blade is really nice and I have found the saw to be conformable to use.although it has had some use over the last couple of months it shows limited signs of wear and tear and i would expect it to last for a good while, as most Irwin tools tend to.

Great tenon saw. Designed to eventually discard for a new one. But it goes on and on.
