I have owned many chisel sets over the years and now buy mostly for feel in hand and this Craftsman set feels good, is a complete set and has the Craftsman warranty. Win, win !
Most of my work ends up being trim and cabinet type projects and I have a heavy locksmith background so boring holes and installing deadbolts and handsets is mostly what I use chisels to do.
While most of the work I do calls for a 3/4 or 1 inch chisel, there are instances where smaller is called for and it is always satisfying to have all you need in one set. My reputation also brings me work from family, friends and church...
read full review »I have had several sets of these over the years. I am a serious hobbyist that appreciates good quality tools. The blades on these chisels have remained sharp (I take good care of them) but when I've needed to replace one or two after years of service, Sears has replaced the whole set for me without question.
I bought the three-piece set rather than the five-piece. I don't do enough woodworking to need more. :-)
I have used Craftsman tools my entire adult life and believe in their quality. When I needed to notch door molding for a seam binder oak threshold, I knew Sears was going to be my first stop.
Handle is comfortable. Edge not as sharp as I would have liked, but adequate for the small job at hand.
I don't think you could find a better combination of price and quality. Thank you Sears.
I've had these tools before and they have always served me well. These chisels hold up under rough use and are actually comfortable in my hand. Having a lifetime guarantee is great.
