Lie-Nielsen Chisels
Lie-Nielsen Chisels are based on the Stanley 750 Bevel Edge Socket Chisels.
Socket chisels are not common these days, perhaps because they are expensive to make. At 9" long, these chisels are particularly comfortable in the hand and have excellent balance. These chisels are consistently rated with the Blue Spruce Toolworks chisel range as the best western chisels available.
Lie Nielsen have expanded their range from the standard bevel edge chisels. (NOTE - There are now 2 choices of steel for the bevel edge bench chisels. A-2 Tool Steel or newly available high carbon steel) to include fishtails, skews, corner, mortise, paring and drawer lock chisels.
There is always heavy demand for these chisels so please enquire as to stock levels. We have a rolling stock order so Classic Hand Tools try to have these chisels in stock at all time. If you are looking for a Christmas present then please enquire 3/4 months in advance!
