The chisel set represent excellent value for money for a products made by a British workforce. On a personal note, I find there is something very satisfying about owning and using tools made in Britain. Made in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

Love these, proper quality and not cheaply made.

Purchased in anticipation of being needed for a job, but in the event not needed. However, I could not find my very old cold chisels so I will retain these for future use.

Good value bolster and chisel, no frills.

Excellent chisels, Used them while re-pointing the patio and they are strong, sharp and really good quality. Great value given they are much less expensive than my old bolster which is now completely done.

I bought this bolster and cold chisel set for working on dogger nodules during fossil extraction, which assume is not necessarily the intended purpose. However, Both tools have only been used on the dogger so far, they performed well. The bolster had enough force to open a tough nodule cleanly and extracted the fossil that i bought them for. Neither chisel shows any noticeable blunting after repeated hammering. Build quality feels solid and they take impact well. The only drawback is the lack of a hand guard, but that’s clear from the listing and doesn’t affect my rating. just something to be aware of if you prefer guarded tools. Overall, they do exactly what they’re meant to do and hold up under real use. Would recommend.

Great bits of kit

Only used couple of times but seem well built, and did what I needed them to, used on concrete block - seemed sharp enough for it.
