Tool kit is really coming together nicely. I have generally followed the adage that the most expensive tool to buy is a cheap one, soon needing replaced. But, as you are proving, there is a happy median between expensive and cheap tools. Perfectly suitable, quality tools that don't break the bank but still will get the job done and should give years of use. Thank you for making these videos Cody. Also for the info concerning trueing up a newly acquired tool, even brand new tools.

Robert Wilson. Learn to sharpen them to perfection, so sharp you can shave with them. You can get them much much sharper than when you buy them. This is the absolute most important feature of any chisel. I'd much rather have a properly sharpened $2 chisel than an improperly sharpened $100 chisel.

I know this is a pretty unsatisfying answer (especially for having waited 4 years for it) but I'd say it doesn't matter at all. You can judge how rough stones are relative to each other by touch and sight, start with a rougher stone just to see if it is removing material at the rate you want, and move up and down accordingly. Of course you won't have a scale, but after some experience with stones you'll be able to look at another one and associate it with a level of sharpness, besides the numbers are pretty arbitrary (to the user) anyway. so basically, you can't tell, there is no standardisation, and no reference, and that doesn't matter.

Irwin is much more available to most people. Also, chisels are more about tuning and sharpening rather than just getting the one that is the “best” or hardest. I heard these need the backs flattened. The best chisels are the ones that hold an edge reasonably which fitting well into your hands. Anyhow, my cheap Cambodian Tire chisels are absolutely excellent and great to use.

@@MintStiles the buck bros took me forever to flatten the backs of too. all chisels need some flattening of the back. but a veritas is a few quick, literally damn near single digit strokes. marples really aren't so bad, i'm not sure why anyone who hate on them. especially if you get an older style when they were made in england. even the newer ones aren't so bad though. it's like a decent entry level chisel. then you can look at some woodrivers and what not, sweethearts, and then obviously veritas. maybe a bancho in between. problem with a norton india is that you're not going to get the finish you want to get. most norton's are upwards of a DMT diamond set. And if y ou're going to be flattening buck or marples, lol spend the money on a diamond stone set.

DC Romo people hate on things because they can. Most modern tools may not be the quality of old, but they are sufficient. Tuning is more important than initial quality. While I am certainly not suggesting anyone buy cheap tools, but look anywhere on KZbin and you will see guys sharpening stamped knives into tomato shaving weapons :). There is a trade-off. But the elitists often have problems with just getting things started while the rest of us are already home having dinner.

I just picked up a very similar Irwin Marples set (without the mallet) and honestly I am quite pleased for the price. These aren't heirloom quality or anything but for the price they are made quite well, finished nice enough for a tool, and are ground very cleanly. They didn't come razor sharp out of the box but 2 minutes per chisel on my stone and they will push cut telephone paper. Tested them out today and they held an edge admirably long and were brought back to razor sharp with a couple strops. I'm sure there are better quality chisels out there but for a guy just looking for a decently made, reliable set of chisels that doesn't want to drop $50 per chisel, these are a great option.

I have a set of these, some Stanley's and a number of antique chisels bought at flea markets, garage/estate sales and antique marts. Most clean up well and get lots of use. The Marple's are good for GP use although the mallet is way light for most use. I just use two handmade ones. What is missing are a couple of good mortising chisels. I have a 1/4" and 1/2" and they handle my mortising needs well. As far as sharpening, I chose a Trend 300/600 grit Diamond Credit Card. 300 seems to work super well on the HSS tools like chisels and lathe tools and the 600 for the carbide lathes tools, router bits and saw blades.

I've seen Starrett boxes that have seen heavy use survive for 50 years or more protecting their valuable contents. It's the little details that separate the quality tools from those of lesser quality, and these chisels look to be a good value. I look forward to seeing part 2 and how they turn out.

I was looking at the Irwin Marples soft grip chisel set with four chisels for just 29 pounds Sterling. Anyway, I'm in Scotland and I saw the chisels you reviewed - a set of six actually - for just 34 pounds. 6mm up to 32mm. Well, I did purchase a set of Knock off Narex chisels from Lidl for just £7 about four years ago, and, whilst they are a wee bit soft - like the Blue Stanleys - they take a good edge and are easy to sharpen onsite with sandpaper or a basic stone. I should add that I used them on a job where I had to chop out over 70 mahogany lock keeps and only had to hone them a couple of times. Up until our recent difficulties, I travelled to Japan once a year, and have always brought back a few items including saws and chisels. The saws I love, but the chisels and planes are a pain to hone, so I don't use them as much as my horny old English Stanley planes and European Chisels. Anyway, thank you for the insight into how they perform. Looked so good for the money - and I wouldn't be broken hearted if they were pinched on a job - that I went ahead and made the purchase. Much obliged!

Before doing any research I picked up one 3/4" Irwin chisels frankly because it was the cheapest one on the shelf. I didn't really appreciate the tool until I purchased another of a different junk garbage trash brand. The difference is unreal. Hats off to Irwin!

I am so jealous. My stanley chisel set didnt come with a nice mallet like that. It did come with a nice leather wrap. Excited to see the finished common man toolbox! Great little tool kit for a entry level wood worker like myself.

Cody, Irwin makes a 6 piece kit like this which includes a sharpening kit with stone, oil bottle, and angle adjuster for about $5 more. No mallet though.

My fiancee actually bought me a set of 4 of these chisels minus the mallet for Christmas this year; I tuned them up just as you did - though I did go to 12000 grit Japanese water stone before hitting the strop - and they are great. Hoping you find the same results in part 2!

A really nice American made chisel is the Two Cherries brand. I have a few, and they're great, and quite affordable, though a step up in price from the Irwin/Stanley. They hold an edge fairly well (my matsumura chisels are certainly better) even with dense hardwoods - I use lots of ebony, mahogany, purpleheart, Rosewood, etc. And, they're American made to boot!

Including the stone was great idea. Most other people fail when they recommend chisels, and hand planes, but knot the sharpening stones.
