PRSpoggers Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I'm looking for a set of good chisels in ranging sizes (30 - 50 dollars USD) and I found these on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/8-Piece-Wood-Chisel-Set/dp/B087CXTK8K/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=LF0QRPHMSH9R&dchild=1&keywords=chisel+for+woodworking&qid=1607899006&s=hi&sprefix=chisel+for+%2Ctools%2C157&sr=1-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFIT0dFMEVXNllUVFomZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzOTM0OThORk5DTzJENEdGSUkmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDc0MjI3ODFUOTZGT0xGR1JTTzQmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl and I am into these but what are good wood working chisels?

Bizman62 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Narex make good chisels for a reasonable price, don't know about other brands. The set you referred to seems to be sold under several names with small variations. Looking at another revealed my main concern about those: They most likely aren't ready to use right from the box. However, that's not an uncommon feature in the more expensive ones either. PLUS that will effectively teach you how to sharpen your chisels! For sharpening practice a cheap set like that is perfect. I've got a very cheap set of 3 chisels I bought when I was young and didn't know I didn't know anything. They can be sharpened but after a few strokes on hard wood the very tip burrs and loses the edge. That's the problem with cheap tools, you never know until you've used them. Getting known good quality from the start will pay in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
