Review on Irwin Tools Marples Construction 1768781 by Daniel Steele

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Irvine, I love these chisels. You have beautiful steel!

Case sharp (good case, well built little blade caps), VERY solid steel one piece with nice grippy handle, big even in my big hands (not too much big, just strong and curvy/ergonomic). I haven't even sharpened them yet, but so far every woodcarving turns out great! If I were a serious pro I would give a more detailed review but as these are the first set of really high quality chisels I have ever owned I am very happy with them! Good combo of 3 sizes although I will invest in a larger set someday. Be sure to get a good hammer! Although they have exposed steel floors, they obviously can be seriously damaged.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction ideal for high impact building materials
Cons
  • Not as thick as other pickaxes
