Bevel Edge Chisel - Set of 11

Good communication, speedy delivery, very nice set of high quality chisels, nicely packed in wooden box

The photograph does not do justice to these chisels, they are 10/10, even the display box is superb. The polish and finish of these chisels is so good you can use them straight out of the box.

This is a fantastic set of chisels, I would thoroughly recommend them. The metal is Chrome-vanadium steel, which doesn't rust or oxidize over time. This is also a benefit because it can be polished to a mirror finish when sharpening and can hold their edge for longer than normal chisels. They are very well balanced and feel good to hold. They come in a very nice beech box with a spacer to stop them from knocking around and damaging each other. They also have blade guards to maintain their edge. If you're looking to upgrade your current chisels buy these, you won't be disappointed.

The first mention must be the amazingly quick delivery by Rutlands. Ordered on a Friday (yesterday) at 3:45pm and arrived at 12:45 the next day - on a Saturday. So Brownie points there. I wanted a reasonable set of chisels that would be as multi-purpose as possible and these looked like a good bet. I got them at the sale price and with a further 10% off (although there was delivery charge but worth paying re see above) and for the money they're brilliant value. The blades themselves are nice quality, nice and flat and well polished, and the steel seems nice and hard and has taken a good edge. How long they hold an edge remains to be seen, but I have no reason to doubt the other reviews thus far. The compromise is clearly the handles - there's evidence of some cost cutting here, but they're completely functional and comfortable enough in the hand. The ferrules seem to be fairly substantial and the handles inspire enough confidence not to worry about giving them a whack, but most of my work will be paring so it's not a real concern for me. I've given four stars only because even at this price point I think the handles could be better finished, but the money's in the blade and that's all good and they do represent brilliant value. Thumbs up Rutlands!

Fantastic set of chisels.If you like your tools to look great then these are the chisels for you. I tend to still reach for my Marples as the hassle of getting these out of the box and running the risk of damaging the perfect hornbeam handles make me less inclined to use them!!Only draw back to these chisels is it took a lot of flattening to get the backs right. The chrome vanadium is great for keeping an edge and it hones really nicely, but that initial set up took a long time.
