Chisels
Chisels for Woodworking, Trim, and Masonry
This chisels collection spans fine woodworking and rough work. Woodworkers will find Stanley Sweetheart 750 socket chisels in singles and 4- and 8-piece sets with tool rolls, Irwin Marples woodworking chisels, and DeWALT wood chisel sets. Short blade Stanley FatMax chisels and FastCap Pocket Chisels suit trim carpenters. Irwin Marples construction and high impact chisels take hammer blows, while Stanley punch and chisel kits, nail sets, a Milwaukee SDS PLUS tile chisel, and a Klein SDS demolition driver set handle metal and masonry.
What to Look For
- Use. Socket and bench chisels are for paring joinery. High impact and construction chisels stand up to hammering.
- Blade length. Short blade chisels give control in tight spots like hinge mortises.
- Set or single. Sets cover common widths. Singles fill a gap, such as a 1/8-inch or 2-inch chisel.
- Sharpening. Every wood chisel needs honing before first use and regularly after.

Chisels FAQ
Which chisel set should a beginning woodworker buy?
A 4-piece set covers the common widths used in most joinery. The Stanley Sweetheart 4-piece socket set and DeWALT 4-piece set are common starting points. Add sizes as projects call for them.
Can I hit a wood chisel with a hammer?
Use a mallet on bench and socket chisels. Construction and high impact chisels, such as the Irwin Marples high impact sets, are built to take hammer strikes on the job.
