Description
The Irwin 8 piece all purpose bevel edged chisels feature metal striking caps, which allows use with a hammer, and prolongs the life of the handle and prevents mushrooming. The one-piece blade forging gives these chisels added strength and durability, and the very sharp cutting edge ensures quicker and easier operation. This sharpness is long lasting, due to the special hardening process on the blades, meaning less time spent re-sharpening, saving you time and effort. The chisels can be stored safely within the wooden box.

Cracking set of chisels
A world away from cheap B&Q tat. Made fitting a door an absolute joy, and I’m sure will do 100 other jobs equally well.
5 Years in the trade (on site too), overall great chisels that could last many more years (ive only sharpness them 5 times and there’s plenty amount of steel left).
I’ve moved on to Hultafors overall now but the 2″ and the 10mm Marple chisels still survives the primary bag.
If you can fine a way to fix the striking plate, these would be the “one and done” chisels, 5 stars, perfect for your FULL working career.
Great chisels
Overall a very good tool set. The only thing that is the grips are all slightly twisted from the striking caps but nothing I can’t live with
I was working on making some mortise and tenon jointery for a table I’ve been constructing. I have some old chisels that I pieced togother over time but they just weren’t doing the job even after some sharpening. I needed a great chisel set and fast to finish my project so I did a little research and found the Irwin Marples Chisel set. Irwin has always been good to me so I didnt mind spending the money on one of there more top notch sets. My golly was I right! This chisel set even right out of the box were sharp, clean and an ease to use! I don’t know how I was surviving without these in my life for so long lol. Been using them quite a bit latley and they seem to keep there edge pretty well even after beating on them with all my porjects I have. Looking forward to giving these a good sharpening to see what they can really do in the future. If your’re looking for a great pair of chisels that will last and get the job done don’t look any further. These chisels were right for me and I can guarentee they’ll be right for you to!
Great set of chisels!
A fantastic set of chisels. These were my first set of chisels which I’ve had for 3 years now and they have been wonderful. They have good grip, you can use them for long periods and they won’t hurt your hands, and they give a nice clean finish. Only downside is that the metal strike cap starts to come looser after time and they can twist when you hit them, but this has never been an issue for me.
When you work out how much you are paying per chisel these are not expensive at all. I would say they are reasonably priced, in the same way as a reasonably priced car on a certain motoring show. I’m not a professional, I’m s fussy DIY’er. so I did need to give the edges some TLC. They are not bad when you get them. I dare say there are those that would use them out of the box. But you can see that they are machine finished with quite accurate edge geometry. How do you sharpen a chisel? there are as many right answers to this as there are experts willing to voice an opinion. And by virtue of that fact they were sharpened exactly correctly. They were just at the point where each crafts-person can make them their own. My way, is by hand on whetstones. Really didn’t need much work on the 1000 grit, 6000 took a bit longer, Gave them a micro-bevel and then finished nicely on my strop. A quick with a quick polish on the flat side with the 6000 finished it. Probably 15-20 minutes each to remove those machining marks and to get them to where I want them. If you sharpen yours to a convex curved bevel you are in for a lot of work and maybe some time on the bench grinder. Mine will hopefully never see a bench grinder.
They cut the wood with ease, allowing you great control with gentler taps with the mallet. I didn’t need the set. I just needed 2 or three of them to replace some of my older ones that have been getting shorter over the years without me really noticing. Now I have them they are there on the tool wall, out of the box and I get that feeling that everything is just right when I look at them. Definitely worth getting the set, at my age they are probably the last ones I’ll buy.
These chisels are ideal for sight work need a good diamond stone to flatten the back of the chisels before sharpening to actually use them for anything so do bare this in mind as the stone is more than the chisels.
Good chisels at a very good price, the case is not designed to hold all eight chisels but can be modified easily or just leave two out. They arrived ground to a point but need honing for use. The handles are comfortable to hold and the striking cap is just a metal cap and not part of the chisel blade so can fall off with heavy use as happened to me. Don’t expect that would happen with normal use. Recommend for all skill levels but don’t expect good results without sharpening them.
Wow very good product! Nice and sharp
Wow very good product !
Nice and sharp. You can say this is professional chisels and will stand for long
Don’t use one day delivery as they’ll take their time (just came in at 5 pm and gave it to the neighboor), just pay the extra 1 for express delivery you’ll get it by 1pm
Excellent value and quality.
Would be excellent value for money for the six standard chisels in the box but to get a 38 and 50mm chisels as well is great. These chisels were bought to replace a set I’ve had for 40 yrs when I started my apprenticeship, I only bought them now because they had the 38 and 50mm included which was what I only needed really, and are great quality and will certainly see me to retirement.
So what if the extra two chisels just placed in the box? They still fit in! Don’t think they’ll be in a box too long though. Probably transfer them to a chisel roll. Bit bulky in a box to carry around.
Extremely pleased with these set of chisels. As previously stated by others the additional 2No chisels are stuck under the row of 6 as opposed to having their own slot within the case. However this does not detract from the fact of a great set of chisels at good value. Tried and tested on hanging an Oak front door.

Like most chisels you need to sharpen them a bit more than they where,but saying that 8 chisels for around 52 and if they last as long as my last set over 20 years using daily very good price

Good quality , on down side it’s a box of 6 and two free which is same price for 8 on other sites so not really free ? Other wise no complaints if anything free as harping stone would of been nice
great for taking all the hammer abuse you need
A chisel set that will last you as long as you need them, one the most important part of this chisels in my opinion is the back, the metal strike pads. great for taking all the hammer abuse you need. great job Irwin (:
Great value
Brilliant value for money! I love Irwin chisels, last years and years, second set Iv had in 10 years and got them cheaper than screwfix and tool station etc.. Really happy
BRILLIANT SERVICE
product ordered was exactly as described what can you say about a set of chisels they work as should do and delivery dates kept to and product arrived in perfect conditio
My father in law being a master carpenter had a set of Marples chisels a reason why decided on getting this box set. They are very good value at the price and also turned up a day earlier than expected, something other suppliers could take into consideration, plus no delivery charge to the Isle of Wight. They could have been wrapped slightly stronger but didn’t incur any damage to the box. I showed them to my father in law, he thought they were pretty good, baring in mind that his chisels had rather nice hard wood handles. They were quite well factory sharpened, but by the time we get them on a Chinese wet stone they will really be sharp. Good strong quality steel blades. I am very pleased with them all, which included two extra pieces in the set.
fantastic
hey were purchased for my sons birthday they are fantastic and arrived quickly he wanted them last year but were expensive this year they were half price arrived quickly would use agai
Great Quality Chisels
These are a great buy,I have bought more than 1 set of chisels but this will be my last as I can see they will last the time if used properly ,Although stated as ready to use they need to be honed before use but that ain’t a problem as nearly all chisels you buy are only factory sharpened and need the fine edge put on by hand,the 2 extra chisels are a bonus as most sets don’t come with these 2 sizes (38mm,50mm).If your looking to buy new chisels this is the set for you
Excellent quality
I bought this Chisel set as a present for my DIY partner. He was thrilled with them and says he will find so many uses. The quality is first class and Im sure they will last for many years.
good quality chisels
Just one point, because the box is not practical to keep in my tool box I have put the chisels in a tool roll so now what do I do with the box?
These are nice looking chisels but my only complaint really is thet there is no edge on them, which is no real hardship as its easy to put one on and the steel isnt as good as my previous Marples Chisels but all in all a nice se
The good points, the box looks very strong and will keep these chisels safe for a long time. The chisels feel sturdy and strong although they aren’t sharpened before hand so you will have to sharpen them
Bad point, Be aware the set is a 6 piece set and only holds 6 chisels in place the other two are just shoved under the other chisels but other than that this chisel set is worth the money
