Remember I don't make money from affiliate marketing rubbish. In my opinion you can't believe sources that ask you to buy from them for kickback money.

After watching quite a few videos of people being broadly excited with their new purchase I thought it would be a good idea to share a longer view on the Narex Richter Chisels that goes a little deeper than the "oh look, shiny".

I'm not going to BS you, these a great chisels at price point that is incredible.

The only issues I've found are the 1/4" (6mm) is a bit to heavy for my liking, especially for precise work. I would prefer to see some graduated handles for the smaller sizes.

The highly polished finish is nice but on the 1/4" I found it made it slippery reducing my control. There have been concerns raised that the polished edges created a rounded over section than would need to be remove. My experience is don't be so stupid. Hone the tool, remove the burr and get to work. If you're "flattening" these chisels you've lost your mind.

The only other issue is although the box you get is nice you must keep the packing piece that clamps the chisels in place. Without it the chisels just rattle about.

In my opinion Narex have made an excellent value chisel that's easily as good as a set that would cost well over £500. Are they my favourites and do I reach for them over others? No, but that's a different discussion!
