Question 1

Are these made in England (as is shown on the chisels in the product picture)?

Accepted Answer

Here is the response I received after contacting Irwin.  I hope the tools end up being better quality than the poorly made box they come in.  SubjectAsk Irwin: Question Submitted  Discussion Thread Response Via Email (Christina B.)	07/08/2014 01:09 PM EDTGood Afternoon!Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools. Our chisels started out in England, however, they are made in China now. The metal is the same quality due to our hardening process and we still have the same Irwin standards as always. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank You, Christina B.Irwin Consumer Brands Consumer Relations

Question 2

Once i chisel the hole in the wood, where do i put the chisels? back in the tool box or into the shed? where will they feel more comfortable?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for choosing Irwin Tools. Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality and service. For the Irwin M444SB6N Blue Chip Bevel Edge Woodworking Chisel Set we would suggest you put them back in the box.

Question 3

Your description says it has 6 chisels however the picture only shows 3 and a reviewer only received 3?

Accepted Answer

That is true. I only recieved 3 chisels. They are counting the oil, stone, and mount (sharpening kit) as 3 of the 6 parts. In a previous post, I listed the sizes I received and the sizes that weren't actually included. Hope this clears it up.

Question 4

what is the rockwell hardness of these chisels?

Accepted Answer

Without taking them to a lab, one would have to guess what the hardness is. I did however flatten the backs down and sharpen them with a tool grinder. The sparks coming off were compound which would indicate it isn't mild steel. The company claims RC 58 to RC 61 on the Rockwell C Scale, which is the traditional hardness range of English manufacturers for keen edge tools.
