IRWIN Marples Chisel Set with Wallet, 3-Piece (1768781), Blue

Just got them and will update this review after using them thoroughly. What I like: The case is great. Protects edges and keeps chisels organized. The steel of the chisel is continuous thru the handle and creates a sturdy striking surface on the end. Rubberized handles will help make for a non-slip grip. Value. Irwin makes good to great tools that last and the price for this set is very reasonable. What I don't like: Nothing so far. What I don't know; I sharpened the chisels with a fine diamond grit hone before using them as they don't arrive as sharp as they could. They took a fine edge fairly quickly but I don't know how well they will hold that edge. That is I don't know the quality of the steel, only time and repeated use will tell. Though I trust Irwin Tools as they haven't disappointed me before.

I am very happy with my purchase of this product. Received sharpened, I sharpened them again anyhow to remove the protective film on them. But, could well be used straight out the protective cover.The chisels protective holder is very nice and built surprisingly well .The chisels are very solid and well built as well, I like that the steel of the chisel is running through the handle to create a head that can be used with a regular hammer. And these chisels are keeping a sharpened edge so far, and I have used on some oak. I would purchase this product again, and would highly recommend this product to anyone.

These are good chisels. but the pics made them look short to me. These are 10 1/2 inches total length. no where in the description does it say the length. too long for me.

They are longer than I expected, but that was a pleasant surprise. They worked well enough rot out of the box to chisel out the wood beneath a door latch to get a better fit. I got a wet sandpaper / glass sheet sharpening system from Peachtree Woodworking and spent an hour tonight polishing the backs and putting a finer edge on the whole set. They took an edge well. Very nice tools for the price and I appreciate the case and the plastic edge protectors. Photo #1: Chisels straight from the box with a $5 bill in there for size reference Photo #2: The back of the widest chisel showing the griding marks (they are construction chisels, not woodworking quality... but they can be with some polishing time) 2020 update: I had a project around the house yesterday where I needed to shave down 1/4" of end grain wood from a 3/4" board. After my polishing fun from 3+ years ago, these things were hella sharp and very easily controlled. I took nice curls off of the wood with much more control than I was expecting.

I bought this set because I didn't have any wood chisels. I used one on a new door jamb to enlarge the deadbolt striker plate inset and the chisel I chose worked reasonably well. My only complaint is that they're REALLY LONG and that means you are far away from the chisel tip and the actual working area. I like to be closer where I can truly see what I'm doing and this made the job more difficult because of that.

Very sharp. I bought these for a specific task and they performed perfectly for making a square hole in soft pine a little larger, and now I'm happy to have these for use as needed. I love the strike plate on the back of the handle.

Ok I am damn fussy, I have a old abused set of chisels from 50 years of use, Stanley and they were prefect. But sometimes in the heat of just getting a project done they lead a tough life. These are better, and they come in a beautifully thought out canvas case and they are sharp, very sharp. Looking forward to using these and taking care of a proper good tool.

I purchased these chisels thinking that I would mostly use them for construction/demolition work. I did not really expect them to take and keep a sharp edge. Well, they do, and are amazingly good for the price. Be ware that these are very large chisels, much larger than typical wood working chisels, but they can be used for detail work as well as general construction and are made to take a beating. Very good product.

Good

Needs to be sharpened when received. Took a few minutes for each chisel. Used the 1 inch to clean out some mortises in douglas fir and western maple workbench legs. Retained edge for me to smooth out the four mortises without having to touch up the chisel. Case is pretty good. Plastic edge guard is serviceable.

cheap price for such a decent quality!
