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.

For full context on why we ranked these the way we did, what alternatives we considered (and rejected), and the broader buying-guide framework, read the full The Best Chisel Sets in Australia for First-Home DIY (2026).
