## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good chisels, especially for the money
*by J***. on May 31, 2017*

I'm not going to say there aren't better chisels on the market. Of course there are. Lie Nielsen, Veritas, and various European and Japanese makers make fabulous chisels, some of which I've used.However, in my opinion there aren't better chisels than the Narex line for the money. My first exposure to Narex chisels came with a four pack of various sizes I bought at Lee Valley a few years ago to replace a beater set I'd picked up a big box store. The ones I have are a different handle style than this chisel. At first, I was hesitant to order this one because I wasn't sure I'd like the handle, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I actually like it better than the other style. It feels great in the hand.Sadly, most of the Narex chisels sold have that other style, but enough have this shape that I think I'll be able to find more to round out my collection.I haven't had the chance to use this chisel as long as my other set, but I have no doubt that it will perform similarly. So far it's holding its edge very well, and I'm quite happy with it. Like I said, not the best chisel on the market, but a great value nonetheless, and well worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chisel back is not flat!
*by T***M on June 26, 2019*

Hi, I like this chisel and once I am able to flatten the back I am sure it will provide good service. I bought this to cut 1 5/8" x 3 1/4" mortise in a 3" douglas fir workbench. I roughed out the holes with a router and then finished with the chisel. It worked well after I sharpened it. This chisel is 40mm which is not 1 5/8", close but no cigar!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprises when your old are even better. Great Tools.
*by T***3 on March 21, 2017*

I really appreciate these Narex folks making a product of such high quality and with the right feel/balance of beef and finesse. I don't know what you could compare them with. They are a stand out/ no brainer for my money. I've been purchasing one here and there starting with their mortiseing chisels and have used.them quite a bit. I keep finding myself reaching for them over some of my 20 year favorites. New tools should always be this way. Better than you imagined when you bought them. Good stuff, thank you Narex keep up the good work and I enjoy seeing the offering expanding, I sold.
