IRWIN Marples M373 Split-Proof Bevel Edge Chisels 6-Piece Wooden Box Set, TM373S6

The tracking information said I would receive these near the end of June through mid-July because they were coming from England. I got them today, less than seven days after I placed my order! The seller had them packed more securely than a bank truck at Fort Knox. Not one ding on them. The box they came is a plus and very well made. Also nice to have protective tips. They will need to be flattened and honed the way I like them; but that's not a negative by any means, as any new chisel needs a proper honing to one's own specs before use. The chisels I had been using for more than fifteen years were acquired from swap meets, flea markets, found, etc. Old school Buck Bros mostly; made when they were worth a s***t! I'll oil them up and retire them to pass on to one of my boys when the time is right. Oh, I learned about these from Richard Maguire's videos on The English Woodworker. Richard is an outstanding instructor and the video series is well worth the money spent if you want to learn the fundamentals of hand tool woodworking.

These shipped to my home WAY before the estimated date given. There was a minor crack in the wooden box upon arrival, but it was not worth it to me to even consider shipping them back. Also, they will need sharpening before use. I have only been using them for a few days, but I am very pleased with this purchase. For my first set of chisels, I couldn't be happier.
