Irwin 4-Piece Marples Woodworking Chisel Set (M444S4N)

The Irwin 4-Piece Marples Woodworking Chisel Set (M444S4N) is engineered to provide reliable performance for all your woodworking needs. The chisels feature solid-forged, high-carbon steel blades that are hardened and tempered, ensuring they hold a sharp edge for extended periods.
