Detailed Review
The Narex 6 Piece Chisel Set provides a complete range of bench chisels suited for woodworkers needing dependable cutting edges for joinery and shaping. This kit includes six distinct blade widths: 6 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, and 26 mm (with select sizes matching common 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch dimensions).
Each blade is crafted from fine-grained, tempered chrome-manganese steel hardened to Rc 59. The steel comes ground to a 25-degree bevel, establishing an ideal angle for paring and chopping work. Fitted to the steel are stained European beech wood handles, providing traditional bench tool construction.
A notable trade-off is the set's metric sizing structure. While sizes like 6 mm and 12 mm align closely with standard imperial fractional tools, the full collection is built to metric widths, which may require adjustment if your project plans call strictly for imperial measurements. Additionally, the listing does not mention edge guards for individual blades when removed from the case.
Verdict: This set is an excellent choice for woodworkers who want a dedicated collection of hardened steel chisels ready in a presentation storage box. It covers essential widths from 6 mm to 26 mm for a wide range of woodworking tasks.
