Irwin 2014100 PROTOUCH Drywall/Jab Saw
Punch Through and Cut Faster with ProTouch™ Precision
The Irwin 2014100 6-1/2" ProTouch™ Jab Saw is engineered for the professional tradesman who demands speed and comfort in every cut. Designed specifically for drywall, plaster, and cement board, this saw features a heavy-duty hardened carbon steel blade with an extra-sharp, pointed tip that makes "punching" through material effortless—no pilot holes required.
The standout feature is the Tri-Ground tooth geometry, which cuts on both the push and pull strokes, removing material up to 50% faster than conventional saws. To keep you productive throughout the day, the ProTouch™ handle offers an ergonomic, non-slip grip that absorbs vibration and prevents hand fatigue, even during high-torque overhead cuts.
Why the Irwin ProTouch Jab Saw is a Jobsite Essential:
- Tri-Ground Teeth: Advanced 3-sided tooth design provides a smoother, faster cut in both directions.
- Thick-Body Blade: The 6-1/2" blade is extra rigid to prevent bending and wandering during aggressive plunge cuts.
- Ergonomic ProTouch™ Grip: A rubberized, contoured handle provides maximum control and stays comfortable in sweaty or dusty hands.
- Hardened Tip: Specifically sharpened to punch through drywall and plasterboard with a single strike.
- Large Handle Opening: Designed to fit hands of all sizes, including those wearing heavy work gloves.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Can this saw cut through plaster and lath?
Yes. The hardened steel blade and Tri-Ground teeth are aggressive enough to handle older plaster and lath walls. However, hitting heavy metal mesh or nails will dull the teeth faster than cutting standard drywall.
+ Does the blade flex or bend easily?
The Irwin 2014100 is designed with a thick, heavy-duty blade profile to minimize flexing. This provides more stability during the initial "punch" and ensures your cut stays straight.
+ How do I "punch" into the drywall with this saw?
Thanks to the sharpened, reinforced tip, you can simply place the point against the drywall and give the flat end of the handle a firm strike with the palm of your hand. The saw will pierce the board, allowing you to start cutting immediately.
+ Is the handle comfortable for small or large hands?
The ProTouch™ grip is oversized and rubberized, making it comfortable for all hand sizes. The shape is specifically designed to provide a secure grip even when wearing thick construction gloves.
