Ratings & Reviews for Jorgensen 0.5-in Woodworking Chisel

Sharp

Well made

Nice

I liked the chisel, but I wish it would have had a cover for the edge. After removing it from the retail pegboard, there was no way to protect the edge.

Best chisel I have ever owned

Great handle and very sharp

Impressive Chisel Set

For decades as a professional carpenter/cabinetmaker I have relied on the high quality and precision of Pony Jorgensen's tools, and this set of chisels lived up to the quality standards I have come to expect. This set consists of 3 chisels--1/2" (12mm), 3/4" (19mm), and 1" (25mm), with the edge bevel flat ground at 28 deg. The ergonomic handles feature a "sure grip" texturized covering that give you firm control when using the chisel. The cutting edge on all 3 chisels was spot on, ground square,...

Quality products

I really like this chisel set. The handles are solid and comfortable in my hands. I have arthritis and sometimes handles are difficult for me. These handles are great. The chisels are sharp and I was able to clean out some holes and leave the edges crisp and clean. They are well made and unless you abuse them should last a very long time.

Great little set

This is a nice little set for wood working. The three sizes assure you have just the right size for your project. Worked great for mortising door hinge slots. With practice, you'll develop a rhythm that lets you reach the desired depth.

Jorgensen 3Pack Wood Chisels

Holding a Jorgensen wood chisel, I could not help but feel that I was holding a precision cutting instrument in my hand. The quality and strength in the design is superb. Having a wood chisel that can hold it razor sharp edge is what matters most in making precision cuts on wood projects. With 3 width sizes to pick from with this chisel set (1/2”, 3/4” and 1”), provided me with about every option I needed to complete my woodworking project. The strength of the resin handle, along with steel sha...

Nice and sharp!

Oooh I like a good chisel! These feel great. Nice handle good feel. Nice weight. Actually came nice and sharp! Usually I will play around a bit and then sharpen new stuff nice. These came in great useable condition. Always a huge plus! Back is also very straight! What can I say, this is an awesome basic chisel set! Very sharp and well made

Wood working tools

Great for furniture projects or anything involving wood. It helped reach areas that were hard to reach with the sander. Very heavy duty, sharp, and a variety of sizes which was very nice!

Workhorse chisels

Received the Pony/Jorgensen chisel set which was well packed to protect all edges.  Proceeded to sharpen a primary and secondary bevel on the 1/2", 3/4" and 1" which were included in the set.  I was currently making a number of wreath holders for a Veterans group for the Wreaths across America ceremony in December.  Of which there were many chisel cuts, tapers and bevels to be made in its construction.   I sharpened the chisels using a number of methods including a diamond sharpener and 1 and 20...

Worked well

Don't expect that pretty plastic holder to work on the wall after opening it up. Also instructions for opening the packaging is to us scissors. I don’t have themm in my toolbox. I used a utility knife to cut the tab. The package doesn’t reclose for use as a holder. They are not made in the USA. They did work well for cutting out a door latch hole.

Nice and sharp

These chisels are great quality and super sharp. If I was actually good at using wood chisels i could demonstrate better, as is my wood I chiseled was so easy to remove and left a nice square area. The packaging is nice as you can keep the covers it came with for storage if needed.

Great chisels

The various sizes are perfect for removing small areas on furniture. I’ve used a rubber and hard plastic mallet with them and seem fine. Arrived sharp and seem easy to sharpen when needed.

Super high quality!!! Excited to use!

So excited to use these chisels. In comparison with the chisels I already have, these are much heavier and more solid feeling. Easy to grip and nice thick strike plates.

Chisel set

The Jorgensen chisels are great. I love the assortment of sizes the half inch the three quarters and the one inch. Have a set of jorgensen from before and they work great
