    4 piece Irwin chisel set $19.99 w/ free shipping at HD

    I saw this on Woot. These are chisels you can afford to abuse.

    These were in my Corning-area store last week for that price, so you may be able to get them locally.

      I passed on these before on clearance, if I see them again I might not. I'm sharpening up (get it?) on my honing skills.

        Is there a special discount code to get that price? They're showing at $30 for me.

          At $19.99 that would be a good price. I have a set of the pre-Irwin Marples chisels that were made in Sheffield. They are now made in China, not neccessarily a bad thing, just not as good as the true Marples chisels.

              I've had this set for about five years now, but mine were made in Sheffield. I bought a Narex set a couple of years ago, so these are now my "beater" set. They hold an edge pretty well, and I'm not too concerned about ruining them. Very good chisels for the price.

              I have another no-name four chisel set that is my "loaner/high school student" set.

                I have a set from Sheffield... I like them a lot. I have a chinese Irwin set w/ case already to act as my home improvement/ beater set, so I'll pass (especially since they now show $30).

                But for someone needing an extra set or an entry level set of chisels, they're nice.
