Overview

The Narex 853053 is a six-piece wood chisel set priced at $114 with a 4.6-star rating from 677 reviews. It is the priciest set listed here, but it also has one of the larger review counts, which signals steady long-term sales.

The listing names the six blade widths as 6, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 26 mm, with alloy steel blades, wood handles and a 26-ounce total weight. Having the exact widths published is a real advantage over sets that only state a piece count.
