Hi All,
I'm looking into replacing my home depot quality chisels. I've heard many good thing about Narex. It seems that Narex has a couple different lines. Highland Woodworking has Narex Premium and Bench, with the only difference appearing to be the handle. Then Lee Valley has Narex chisels with another different handle.
Does anyone body know the difference between this lines? Is it mainly the handle? The steel is the same RC 59 for all three models.
I'm also going to get a set of mortising chisels. Is the Rc 59 steel tough enough to stand up to the pounding required to make a mortise?
Are there any other brands that I should consider.=? Looking to stay under the 20-25 $/chisel mark.
Thanks
