Per these repeated deletions [1]
Coping saws, like fret saws and piercing saws, have very flexible blades that need to be used in tension, together with thin frames that (unlike a hacksaw) are only spring tensioned. These frames are not stiff enough to fully tension the blade when used by pushing, so they are used by pulling instead. Yes, you can push a coping saw. You can also hammer a nail in by hitting it with a screwdriver. Neither of these are optimal. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:42, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Other Languages[edit]
The link to the supposed German equivalent of this tool leads to the "Puksäge" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puks%C3%A4ge), a different kind of saw. Some of the other foreign language articles link to "Laubsäge" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laubs%C3%A4ge) instead, which isn't a coping saw either but the best fit as long as the coping saw (called "Kopiersäge" in German) has no article in the German Wikipedia.
