Description

The Irwin 8 piece all purpose bevel edged chisels feature metal striking caps, which allows use with a hammer, and prolongs the life of the handle and prevents mushrooming. The one-piece blade forging gives these chisels added strength and durability, and the very sharp cutting edge ensures quicker and easier operation. This sharpness is long lasting, due to the special hardening process on the blades, meaning less time spent re-sharpening, saving you time and effort. The chisels can be stored safely within the wooden box.
