Kirschen 1101000 6-Piece Chisel Set in Wood Box

excellent

Muito difícil de planar e afiar, dentro deste conjunto uns mais que outros. Uma vez afiados cortam todo o tipo de madeira mais dura e densa do planeta com elevada precisão. Pertencem a um outro elevado nível de ferramentas. Os cabos são pessoais, mais ou menos elegantes. As lâminas são absolutamente excelentes.

It’s amazing how many hours of our lives we now put into gathering every last minuscule bit of data before we make a tool purchase (or any other purchase for that matter - I’ll never get back the half-hour I spent comparing kitchen hand mixers…like there is any difference…not once has a guest ever stormed out of my house raging because the potatoes weren’t able to be whipped by the mixer. And everyone knows those are produced at a quality that is going to wear out or break within ten years, anyway regardless of the name on the badge). I’ve digressed…point is: we obsess about our purchases here in this century twenty-first. And we do this knowing full well whatever the item in question, we will eventually - most likely - outgrow it or tire of it, upgrade it or just decide to try something else simply to add to our never ending collection of tools…because, every person who is into tools knows the one with the most tools at the end of his or her life wins. Wins what, well, that’s anybody’s guess. I like to think Stanley and Bailey will be at the gates to greet me and give me a hearty handshake of congratulations. I’ll let you know. Out of respect for your data gathering process as you contemplate this purchase, I offer the following in the hope you will spend less time wrestling with your decision: these are great chisels. Are these the greatest chisels ever produced? Who knows. For every vote no there is a vote yes. Some want socket handles, some tang handles. Some hate the polishing Kirschen does, others are fans. Some say narrower bevel landings are most important in choosing a chisel, others don’t. For me, it comes down to this: these chisels cost me $20 each when bought as a set and for $20 each, I haven’t seen better chisels. They come with a well-made little box to store them as well, if that’s your thing. I took two out of the box to test and was able to easily shave arm hair without doing any honing. I was able to pare both little trimmings and large scallops from a board easily and the surface left behind was as smooth as if planed. No reason to think chopping won’t have similar results. Pretty impressive at this price point. I was expecting to have to flatten the backs some and pass them over Diamond stones and a strop to be able to shave hair and pare as fine shavings as I did right out of the box. The manufacturer of these has been making chisels forever and the steel is well-regarded. It is hardened more than most chisels so it will take some extra time to sharpen compared to, say, the cheapest-level Narex chisels (which are, in turn, great chisels for their very low price point as I’m sure you already know), so if that thought bugs you, these aren’t for you. If you want the best new chisels you can possibly find on the market right now, you probably shouldn’t be looking at chisels at this price point. These are excellent chisels for $20 each. If that’s your budget, these get my vote, and I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Formones de muy buena calidad. Vienen muy afilados. Espero me duren mucho mucho tiempo

فخمة وممتازة وتستحق قيمتها. حادة جدا وأنيقة للغاية. سعيد بها
