Editorial Reviews:

For the professional woodworker. The slightly squared special polypropylene handle gives a good, comfortable grip on this hard-wearing chisel. And there is less danger of the chisel twisting and slipping during use. Designed for use with mallet but can be struck occasionally with a hammer. Europe's most popular chisel. Bevel edge set includes 1/4-, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1 and 1-1/4 inch chisels in wood box.

Summary: OK for the price
Comment: I agree with other reviewers, the plastic coat is annoying when lapping the back, but I suspect the plastic coat is there for a reason. Once removed, the blades corrode rather quickly compared to my other hand tools like plane blades, carving or lathe tools. Even with a light coat of oil on them, the sharpened tools get pitting on the portions of the blade where the plastic coat has been removed.
They do hold an edge fairly well, and I've had no problems with the handle cracking.

Summary: Good chisels
Comment: I agree with the last reviewer, honing the back was a pain with the clear coat they put on, but once they are sharp they hold an edge.
Another comment, they give you a 1 1/4" NOT a 5/8"

Customer Rating:
Summary: Same ole Bule Chips
Comment: The Marples Blue Chip was one of the best intermdiate level user chisels available for many years. I had a few doubts when I ordered this set, that the quality had survived the purchase of the line by Irwin.
After a quick bit of sharpening, to be sure the edge was sharp, I cut a few mortises with the 1/2-inch one. After cutting six mortises I accidentally cut myself with it. It was still sharp enough that the cut looked, felt, and bled, like one from a razor blade.
In conclusion, the only reason they don't earn a fifth star is that the blades are covered with a clear coating, which was a pain to remove so I could hone the backs. If I tried to hone the backs without removing it first it clogged up my stones. I know that the majority of users probably won't hone the back before they sharpen them, so for most people it won't be an issue.

Summary: Made in England?
Comment: Save you money and go to Home Depot. I purchased these chisels that are "made in England," which is strange because the packaging states made in China. These are no longer quality items, but more cheap chinese junk.
