Review on Marples M44418N Woodworking Chisel - Essential Tools for Optimal Results by Carlos Phillips

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as pictured; Better replacement than original purchase

I have a set of four Marples Blue Chip chisels that I have used for several years. It was a pleasure to use them. Based on this experience, I ordered the chisel shown in the photo to remove some of the grooves that were too small for 1/4". What I received was similar to the picture shown but not quite the same. Even more disappointing was that the sides were not perpendicular to the front or back of the bit. To Irwin's credit, when I contacted Irwin about the quality and provided the three photos requested, they gave me a replacement free of charge. He seems to be in much better shape. , I would give five stars, but the quality of what was purchased and the time between purchase and resolution of the problem was a bit much.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Non automatic
