Description

Stanley 8 pc. SweetHeart™ 750 Series Socket Chisel Set. From the Manufacturer The Sweetheart line socket chisels are based on the classic 750 design, which is arguably the best Stanley chisel ever made. Machined from high carbon steel, the Sweetheart chisels sharpen easily and retain a razor-sharp edge over long periods of use. Their side bevels are extra narrow for working in tight corners. This helps the user to avoid inadvertent marring of the work when precise cuts are critical. Designed for striking and paring, the hornbeam handle provides a comfortable feel that transfers energy effectively when struck by a mallet. It also provides a wide butt end, or large sweet spot, for striking accuracy. Manufactured in Sheffield, England. Set includes the following sizes: 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" chisels and a leather pouch.

  • Great chisels at a great price
Size: 8-Piece
I've been really impressed with these chisels. I read the reviews carefully and decided that the people who have actually bought, own and use these chisels were saying some very positive things. Firstly, I was torn between buying the Veritas PM-V11 chisels and these. At the time I bought these chisels, the Veritas set wasn't offered in as comprehensive set of sizes as these Stanley's were so I went with these Stanley Sweet Hearts. You'll note that the Veritas set is significantly more expensive, but price really wasn't the deciding factor. I was interested in the basic overall performance and I was also a bit curious about how these Stanley's would perform. I've had these chisels for almost two years and they are great. Sharpening is very easy. I didn't choose the Lie-Nielsen version of these because I didn't want to use the A2 in those. Sharpening A2 can sometimes be tedious. The steel in these takes a very keen edge and I get all the edge retention that I need for use on the domestic hardwoods that I work with. Razor sharp is very important to me. More than a little longer edge retention. You can scan a plethora of the other reviews and read many comments about the sealer that has to be removed (yes, it's a pain) from the blades. That the overall quality isn't up to Lie-Nielsen's standards and that the beveled edges are too thick for chopping some dovetails. But most importantly, that "Oh my Gosh!" the handles of all socket chisels will come loose (yeah...they're supposed to) especially with changes in humidity. Ironically, my Stanley Sweet Heart chisel handles are seated just fine and I didn't even resort to using the hairspray or shavings tricks to keep them on. Basically just left them completely as stock. There was no reason to touch them. I do pick these chisels up by their sockets and not the handles. I also usually smack the handle against the bench to seat it. Force of habit from using antique socket chisels. I also don't hang socket chisels by the handle. Just the shank or store them in a drawer or tool roll like the excellent leather one that comes with this set. So what do I like about the chisels? Well, I didn't buy them based on their price but they really were a bargain. I planned on turning some longer handles (like the optional Lie-Nielsen ones) but so far I don't feel the need. I'm happy with the tough hornbeam handles that came with these chisels. I've already said I'm happy with the performance of the metal. The overall design is a classic Stanley 750 which has been around forever. They're light and easy to use. This Stanley 750 pattern of chisel is a great design and that's why Lie-Nielsen used it to develop their all of their socket chisels. On the other side of the equation, the chisels were surprisingly dainty for my hands. I'm 6'4" but I don't consider myself to be a giant. These chisels aren't too small for me, but I was a little surprised by their overall size. I'm also slightly on the fence about the thickness of the blade's bevel edges. They are a little too thick but they're also still usable for most dovetails. I would say that if you plan to cut many hundreds of dovetails, the Lie-Nielsen's would offer much better edge bevels and a tougher steel. I don't think this would be an issue for the average home woodworker. Some people have commented about not having the sizes on the chisels. I can pretty much tell the size by just looking at the chisel but you could probably write the size on the blade with a Sharpie Pen or if something a little nicer is needed, then maybe use a metal stamp set into the handle. I'm sure there are other low cost solutions to the lack of sizes on the chisel. Truth is, the sizes tend to wear off of most tools of this type anyway. Other than that, this is a great set that I expect I'll use for a very long time. Who knows, maybe for a lifetime. Whatever the case, I think there are no reasons that these chisels will not outlive me and still be usable for decades to come, long after I've finished with them. ... show more

  • A Quality Set Of Chisels
Size: 8-Piece
I read a ton of chisel set reviews before tossing in the towel and taking the leap with the Sweetheart set. In my case money was NOT a factor. However, as an intermediate wood worker who has no thought of doing dovetails with anything other that a router jig it be came apparent that buying a master craftsman set would include tool refinements that wouldn't materially affect (improve) my routine shop use of these hand tools. Yes, no one is going to mistake my practices and work for Rob Cosman's (see YouTube). As for the chisels themselves they are ground dead flat with sharp 25 deg (?) chisel bevel angles. Out of the box (actually a beautifully made very heavy cowhide pouch) they pare off dowels and end grain in red oak and poplar (as examples) beautifully. I've measured each chisel with a Starrett dial caliper and all are dead on their nominal Imperial chisels widths. Each chisel is back beveled on its sides to ease work in finishing out geometries like mortises. The chisels do show manufacturing grind marks, but in spite of these being visible the actual finish is quite smooth to the touch -- as a guess, perhaps a 63u (rms) machined finish. I do like the loose handles for purposes of easing future sharping work. I've had no problem seating the handles tightly on the chisel shank (or bolster). The wood handles themselves feel good in the hand but are a tad short such that the forward grip of your hand is on the steel shank of the chisel. But choking up on the tool adds a bit more control/precision, in my opinion. I do like that the "Sweethearts" are still manufactured in the UK. In sum, a quality chisel set at a fair price point. ... show more

  • Nicely made, handy chisels
Size: 8-Piece
OK, I already had enough chisels. I have new, high quality USA made Lie-Nielsens, Marples and Ashley Isles from the UK, pretty good quality chisels from Narex, and older USA made Buck Brothers. I additionally have a slew of older chisels made pretty much everywhere in the world. A well made chisel from a high end maker like Veritas can go for $80+ these days. You can find good quality chisels from makers like Narex that don't cost as much, but I'm not crazy about the clunky handles on their less expensive chisels. I saw these, and I figured that with this set, the chisels averaged less than $20 each at the advertised price, and the nice suede bag was thrown in to boot. Often when tools are this inexpensive, it is a result of less attention spent by the maker on the niceties like lapping the back and removing tool marks. I prepared myself for hours and hours of tedious finishing work and sharpening. Well, I must say that I was pretty pleasantly surprised. A quick comparison to my Lie-Nielsens: They look similar, but the Stanleys definitely have less steel. This makes them lighter. That may be a plus or a minus. Time will tell. The Stanleys have very light lateral striations on the steel that actually polish out pretty easily from the back of the chisel. The backs of my Lie Nielsen's were dead flat as you would expect. The backs of my Stanleys were also pretty flat, and I was surprised that each one took only a few minutes on diamond lapping plates to fully flatten, and the backs polished up beautifully on my waterstones. They all took a very fine edge, and seem to pare end grain just fine. I saw some of the reviews that complained about the backs not being flat and the owners having to spend a lot of time correcting this. I may have gotten a really good lot, but I really only had to spend a few minutes on each chisel. The handles appear sturdy. I expect they won't hold an edge quite as well as my Lie-Nielsens, but I also expect they will be easier to hone or strop back into shape. I'll use them on a few projects and update this review later. Right now, I would definitely recommend these if you're looking for a complete chisel set that doesn't break the bank. ... show more
