Hey everyone! I'm trying to choose between two chisel sets from the same brand, Narex. One set has beech handles, while the other features hornbeam. The prices are quite different, and I noticed they come in different sizes as well. Can someone shed light on what might make one set better than the other? Thanks!

I agree with what others are saying! The Rockler set is generally seen as more versatile because of the size options available. If you’re doing a variety of work, that could be a better pick!
The two sets do indeed come in different sizes! The one with beech handles includes chisels in 8mm, 10mm, 16mm, and 32mm sizes, while the hornbeam set has 6mm, 12mm, 20mm, and 26mm. If those size differences matter for your projects, that might help you decide!
Good catch on the size difference! Depending on what you plan to work on, one set might be more practical.
Thanks, Jill! I really appreciate the input. I'll have to think about which sizes I'll need most.
