Freud WC-106 6-Piece Woodworkers Chisel Set

by Freud

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Take good care of these high-quality Freud chisels and they might just last a lifetime. The chrome vanadium steel used to make these tools has a fine texture that responds well to sharpening. We like the feel of the close-grained, 5-inch hardwood handle, which is bound by double-steel hoops for strength, durability, and shock resistance. The feeling of quality is carried through to the fitted, box-joint wooden case. You'll find this set contains a good selection of sizes to handle most general applications. --Tim Block

I have got to say, these chisels fit the hand perfect.The fine craftsmenship and weight are beyond approach! The Vanadium steel holds a razor sharp edge and with a good sharpening stone you can keep that edge with just a few passes. For those that has the need for a fine wood working chisel I highly recommend these.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but need work, October 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Freud WC-106 6-Piece Woodworkers Chisel Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

After reading the other reviews posted here, and seeing some conflicting views, I decided to give the Freud set a look. They arrived in a nice box and seem to be as advertised, fairly decent tools in a mid price range. I felt that the finish appeared a little cheap, lipstick on the pig, if you know what I mean. They seem overdressed. There are too many tool marks to start using them right away, but with some work to finish them up I was able to remove softwood from a test piece that would rival a plane. This is a good value for reasonabley good tools that will require some final dressing before they become really great tools.

I'm disapponited in my set of Freud Chisel set. They arrived with the blades nicked. Several had large nicks which would take a bit to remove. I'm sending back. They look like they would be a fine set other than the obvious defects.
