Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Blades are heat treated to within 1" of the bolster to maintain a beautiful edge, and ensure a long bench life. Blades are fully machined on all faces and are finish honed to 30 degrees, ready for use. Each chisel come complete with a plastic tip guard to protect the blade and the user.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tools at a fair price, May 16, 2006

By	Mic (Phila, PA) - See all my reviews

Just cut a bunch of half blind dovetails in cherry with these. They were easy to sharpen (backs were nice and flat) and stayed sharp. Wood handles are a little square so they don't roll away and they really took a beating. They're also comfortable to hold. Blades are thin enough to fit into the corners of the dovetails. I first ordered the set but had to switch to getting them one at a time when the set was out of stock. Would somebody please ask them to make one in 1/8 inch?

5.0 out of 5 stars quality, July 3, 2007

Made very well, I used them to cut dovetails in curly maple with no problems. They held their edge well. Also these are made in England not in China like the Irwin Marples.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk, November 11, 2007

By	Tim Samuel "fish_finder" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The chisels I recieved were the worst looking tools I have seen in a while. The brass rings were rusting, and they didn't seem to line up right with the handle. The handles looked like they had been rushed through production, there were rough edges that needed sanding and the stamped name was smeared. The business end of the chisels looked awful, I only took out one chisel for inspection and that one had a small chip in the cutting edge. To top it all off, the packaging was for a set of plastic-handled chisels. It is obvious to me that whoever makes these chisels doesn't care at all about their product, so back to Amazon this one goes -- thanks for wasting my time Footprint. I went out to Lowes and got myself a set of stanleys that aren't great but they are a whole lot better than these, and cheaper too.
