Overview
Six blade widths, 6 through 26mm, make up the Narex 853053 chisel set, forged from alloy steel with wood handles and a combined weight of about 26 ounces across the full set.
Narex has built a following among woodworkers for chisels that perform close to premium brands at a lower price, and a graduated six-width set like this covers most joinery and paring tasks without buying blades individually. Wood handles need the usual upkeep, an occasional light oiling to stop them drying and cracking, but they also take a mallet strike well. The width range runs from fine detail work at 6mm up to broader paring at 26mm rather than heavy mortise chopping.
- Six piece set: 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 26 mm
- Alloy steel blades
- Wood handles
- About 26 ounces total set weight
Who it's for
Woodworkers assembling or replacing a paring and joinery chisel set, who want one graduated range instead of buying widths piecemeal, are well served here. A single heavy-duty mortise chisel is a different tool, since this set leans toward finer widths.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Six graduated widths from 6mm to 26mm cover most joinery tasks
- Alloy steel blades take and hold an edge with sharpening
- Wood handles suit mallet work
- Wood handles need occasional oiling to avoid drying out
- Set leans toward finer paring widths, not heavy mortising
Performance notes
Alloy steel blades hold an edge with regular honing and are common across mid-range woodworking chisels. Wood handles typically need occasional oiling to prevent drying and cracking, standard upkeep for this style of tool, and take mallet strikes without the chipping risk some synthetic handles show.
