Let's explore some chisels from popular modern brands of western chisels to compare them and see what's what. I put them through their paces, looking at their capabilities in joinery and anything woodworking related you might want to do with a nice set of chisels, short of opening a paint can. All of the chisels were sharpened to a 27-degree bevel to understand what they are like to live with and sharpen. I cut dovetails, mortise and tenons, and even hand-cut dados with them to test their fit for purpose for each task. Now we've got ourselves a shootout!
Featured in this comparison were everything from #Aldi chisels, #HarborFreight Chisels, #IrwinMarples, #Narex, #StanleySweetheart, #LieNielsen, and #Veritas for Lee Valley Tools. Full disclosure some of these chisels were given to me for the review, but I wasn't paid by any manufacturer or distributor or asked to say anything about any of these tools. I tried to keep the marketing jargon to a minimum and really just represent the tools for how they were in real-world use.
