Narex 863600Chisel / Mortise Chisel Set - 4/6 / 10/12 mm - for Mortises

Great brand; really solid chisels. Needed write a bit of work to get sharp before first use but that was expected. Very happy with the purchase.

Alles van Narex is van uitmuntende kwaliteit, heb reeds diverse sets van Narex en meer dan alleen maar tevreden ! Doen me denken aan de oude niet meer te verkrijgen Nooitgedacht beitels, sublieme kwaliteit en staal

had to own these

I am an amateur woodworker. I bought these to make mortises in some 4x4 timbers that would become my workbench. While my work isn't stellar (okay, it's all a bit crooked), these performed exceptionally. Nice, clean cuts with easily controlled precision. A very satisfying experience. I was able to cut 4 mortises in about an hour, and I was taking my time. The tools look nice and are evidently well-made. They feel nice in the hand and take a good strike very well. If you've never used a cheap chisel before, there is a very unpleasant sensation in both hands when a mallet strikes a bunch of cheap wood and metal. It's like striking a stone with a shovel. These absorb a modest blow and drive straight. I did have to sharpen it somewhat quickly after the first use (I used right out of the box as they seemed plenty sharp to me), but once I honed it, it kept the edge for a surprising time. My only complaint is that there was no storage included, but that's mostly because I haven't fashioned a way to store them yet. I suppose if they'd included a bag or roll for them, once I had a place to store them I'd get rid of whatever they sent anyway, so who cares. An excellent value that immediately upped my workshop capabilities.

Love these chisels. Work well
