Which one should you buy?

For most first home buyers the DeWalt 4-piece wood chisel set is the one to get: hardened carbon steel, a steel strike cap for mallet work, and a 4.8 rating, the highest of our three headline picks. The Irwin Marples MS500 is the value pick, with the most reviews of the trio and one piece forged blades. The Duramax 4-piece is the budget pick at the lowest price here, sharp enough out of the box for hinges, door mortises and the odd weekend job.
