This review is from: Irwin Industrial Tools M444/S4N Carded Chisel Set, 4-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have a set of these I purchased back when they were made in Sheffield. I bought a second set recently as a gift only to find they are now an asian product. In comparing the 2 sets the older set is definitely nicer, no molding marks on the handles, overall better metal finishing. That said these are still a great value. Unles you wish to spend alot more I don't think you will find a nicer chisel. I find them to be well balanced and hold a nice edge.

Possibly a lemon,
This review is from: Irwin Industrial Tools M444/S4N Carded Chisel Set, 4-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
This review is from a FINE woodworking perspective. These chisels have received fairly consistent good ratings even since their production move to China. That being said, one of the risks of buying cheap tools is that production quality is rarely consistent. I have the 1/8" chisel of this brand and have had better results with it, but you really don't need a chisel that thin to be as sharp. With this set I may have been unlucky and received a lemon.
Cons: * The backs of these chisels not even close to flat, siting down the back it's very easy to see the rainbow shape with the naked eye. You can only reasonably hope to polish the leading inch or so unless you have an expensive purpose made grinder. * Though these chisels take a very keen edge the steel is extremely brittle (even after grinding back 1/4" to compensate for possible irregularity at the tip). The edge breaks down when I'm shaving hairs off my arm for testing. After two blows with a mallet in even the softest species the edge is completely serrated across the entire width. * Quality of this brand seems to vary wildly, it's a gamble unless you're a framer or a general DIY user. Pros: * The handles are very durable and quite comfortable to hold, their shape prevents rolling. * The blades are longer than most chisels, if you get a set with reasonably flat backs they'd be good for paring. * Great for the general user. * Great price, everyone needs some chisels they don't mind beating up.

They're inexpensive, but don't keep a good edge for very long. You can get them pretty sharp, but the edge will be gone with a few mallet blows.
