I don’t understand the hate here. I’ve been watching 731 for awhile and have seen him grow in skill and he’s always been honest about his reviews and disclosures. You can’t hate on the guy for promoting his business. It’s what allows him to make money, keep making videos, and feed his family. As a craftsman that I trust I appreciate his tool reviews and I trust he wouldn’t promote it if he didn’t like it. I’ve been looking at some chisels and I appreciate he just saved me time and money from buying a similarly priced but inferior project. If you don’t like his tool reviews then watch a different video on his channel, he has 100s. Keep up the great work Matt.
Thank you 👊🏻
It’s a bunch of losers who don’t understand the man has bills to pay like everyone else.
100% agree. As a professional who owns/operates a high end custom shop, his videos are solid, and most of all honest. While I don’t always agree on opinions shared, they are always honest and certainly worth consideration. There are a TON of woodworking Chanel’s out there that are absolute garbage and present horrible advice. This is a great Chanel for those learning, and good for a guy like me to occasionally find tools that haven’t crossed my radar, yet.
@@mattschreiber4251 exactly. Ha ingredients someone honest and trustworthy to give reviews AND tell us when we can find a deal saves the rest of us some time. Matt is in the business of educating aspiring craftspeople, he has time to do this research. Why shouldn't he get paid to do his flippin job?!?!
Sorry to say, but 90%+ of the words spoken in this video can be found on the company’s website. The first half comes across as a commercial for this product.
Gorgeous set!! Very tempting
The 7-piece price on Lee Valley is probably the better deal. No fancy box, but the more important part is the chisels.
I switched over to Japanese Blue Paper chieels about 10 years ago and see no need to switch. It's all about the trade-off between hardness and toughness and how that fits with the work you do.
Love my Narex Chisels. I asked for more sizes and types (morticing) for Christmas this year. Fingers crossed.
I recently purchased the Narex 853053 from Amazon (ships from Amazon and sold by Taylor) for 140, but currently listed at 211 on Taylor site. I am not sure what the key/main difference between these two sets, but probably a lot better than the dewalt and Stanley chisels I currently have
I can certainly sympathize with a couple posters here about the price of these chisels. I wanted a good set of chisels for a long time, but just couldn’t afford a good set, so I bought a decent set I could afford, and they work fine for me. Unfortunately, I can’t really afford most tools Matt shows in his videos, and I’m pretty sure I speak for thousands of woodworkers. I’d love to have Festool power tools, a really nice dust extraction system, a wall of Bessy clamps, a SawStop table saw and Woodpecker measuring devices to name a few, but I can barely afford to buy wood since the price has gone up so high. I enjoy woodworking, and haven’t come across a project yet that I couldn’t make with cheaper tools. It’s great so many people can buy top of the line tools, but I simply can’t, so usually don’t watch a lot of Matt’s videos of tool recommendations.
Great Chisels, I have a set at the college I teach furniture making. The students love it when I let them test them on a dovetail or mortise. At home I use Blue Spruce Chisels, They are even better and come even sharper but at a much higher price.
Don't buy the Narex thinking they are ready to use, they still need a little sharpening but in 10 min. you are prepared to go and they hold an edge for a long time.
Blue Spruce is affiliated with Woodpeckers Tools?
@@acerjuglans383 Yes, and Bridgecity Tool Works is owned by Harvey Machines. Both make quality tools.
I can't say enough of my narex chisels. They are a joy to use. But I like having a few beater chisels. If nothing else, it helps you get your frustration out when you whale on them. LOL
Surprised you didn't mention that Narex is part of the Festool family. German Quality.
Love the chisels, I have been practicing dovetails all summer, and I was looking for a set of quality chisels, and I must say these are very good, not just good for the money but good. I was coming from an Irwin set and almost bought the sweetheart set, but decided to try out a richter, I thought if I did not like them it was not all that much, I really liked them, so much I picked up a 1/2, 3/8, and eventually 3/4. They have thier own drawer in my workbench and I built a holder for them, mostly because I reached in the drawer one time and grabbed the wrong end of the chisel. But now my drawer has holders and magnets to keep things organized.
Like the video, I like the energy you present with, and glad to see taytools doing this promotions. I just got a couple of sets 123 blocks and a couple of sets of the clamp attachments, after seeing the million things you can do with 123 blocks video.
The set I have I inherited from my stepdad. They are the Handyman Club of America. They are so full and though I’ve barely used them I did sharpen one of them and it has a hard time keeping that edge. I’ll be fixing that when I get the chance. You can make steel harder but it is a process for sure. Since I don’t use them often enough I won’t buy another set. When I do I’ll be sure to grab these as I love the refined look they have and the amazing reviews. Thank you Matt!!!
Thanks Matt! Just ordered the 7 piece set.
Awesome, you'll love them!
I'm in carpentry school at NBSS in Boston, MA and they were apart of our tool kits. Great chisels.
Hey from Bossier City Matt! I have a set and they are awesome. I appreciate the info on tool deals. It has saved me a bundle. Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them!
Been using this set for 18 months and I'm very pleased with the performance of the Richter chisels. Not designed for mallets so pick up a set of the standard Narex for use with a mallet along with their mortise set.
I like my Narex
Thank you. Looks like something I should consider. 👍
Damn. You always got me reaching for my credit card. Thanks for the review I'm excited to get mine
I enjoy some of the videos once in a while, but it seems like a lot of the items that are on the video are expensive.
I think I would have to be a full-time woodworker, making it my living in order to indulge in some of the high-end items.
I think I got the same set on Amazon! Thank you, been looking for a decent set and these fit the bill! Love the content and the channel, peace man!
That's a great gift, for myself!
Love the vids man,
👊🏻 Oh and I just had some Oreos lol!
I just bought a 5pc set of stanley Bailey chisels they seem pretty nice for $75.?
🎅wow 😍 👏 🎅
Trust me you will still need to flatten them I have a set still had to flatten them
I found the same with my Richter Set especially on the long edges but varied from size to size. When honed the micro they produced was more than adequate for soft or hardwoods. I also have Sorby and Taylor Chisels to meet certain needs along with my old Marples Blue for site work. All in all as a Bench Chisel they met my daily needs.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!
what would be considered a top chisel set? looking to get one for my dad for his birthday but im clueless lol, thank you 🙏🏼
I keep seeing (DCE) in the ads for these chisels. Any idea what (DCE) means? Thanks. BTW, great chisels. I have the 1/2" and love it.
It means "Discount Code Exempt" because they are at such a deep discount, the seller will lose money if they discount them any further, like with the use of a discount code.
@@731Woodworks Thank you Matt. Now I get it...
I must be getting old. .. I am. I went to your website to buy plans for "all" your charcuterie boards but only found Charlie. Are they somewhere else ?
Thank you Arthur
Hey Arthur, I don't have any plans for the charcuterie boards. There are some great templates here craftedelements.com/collections/router-templates
Lol he said Ash! Nice information. Thanks Matt!!
🤣👊🏻
Love the Narex rasps.
Great heads up. Also love the shout out to Wood by Wright.
Better than Sandvik??
That polished back is such a deal breaker for me.. trying to find something similarly proves it’s proving to be difficult
You can easily take the polish off
Very Cool 😎
Looks like these are not meant to use with a hammer, chisel hammer, no metal on the ends
Yes, they are meant to be used either with a rubber mallet used gently, or with just you hands. These are pairing chisels.
As much as I love your channel I wish you would have some deals for Canadian viewers too :)
Sorry Dave! I'll look into that!
Subscribe to Lee Valley emails. They had their annual "factory seconds" Veritas hand tools sale just a month ago.
They also have Narex chisels for good individual pricing.... a person really only needs a couple and it's less overwhelming having 3 or 4 new chisels to hone rather than 7
@genesysii Sounds like there might be a market open for stuff like this in Canada. Since you’re from Canada, you ever think about starting your own channel directed toward the Canadian market?
One thing to keep in mind regarding the price is that these will be life long tools. You will never need to but another set of bench chisels. I agree, it's a tough price to swallow for beginning woodworkers or hobbiests, but if you make the investment you will not be disappointed.
I don’t do dovetails and such, and for the longest time i used a cheap set i bought from Home Depot, but any time i needed to do any real chisel work, they were pretty much worthless 5 minutes after sharpening. I broke down and bought the Narex Richter set and it’s like night and day difference. I no longer dread busting out my chisels to do some finer work. They were expensive sure, but the headache they save is really valuable when your time is money in getting projects completed. My old chisels now are relegated to getting rid of dried glue.
Do you think the handles would hold up well or get damaged if you needed to hammer them with a wood or rubber mallet?
I am looking for a good set of chisels and the only thing keeping me from getting these ones is the end of the handles doesnt have a metal cap/strike plate.
I think they would. These are very well made chisels.
Man, I remember when this channel actually featured woodworking, now it's just a series of infomercials. You should just go ahead and wear a set of Shamwow guy headset.
A lot of people appreciate these tool and tool deal videos because it helps them save money on tools they need. I understand you don't and that's okay too. There are literally hundreds of videos on this channel that have woodworking. Not all will be just for you and you alone.
That's what pays the bills woodworking projects don't
I am fine with tool reviews but only when the reviewer buys them with their own money. It appears 731 is given the tools. I hope I am wrong and 731 buys the tools he reviews otherwise it may be time to hit that unscribe button.
No disrespect my friend but if you don’t like the content then don’t watch it. Many of us are buoy the tool reviews 731 offers there are plenty of wood working content creators on UA-cam that you can watch if your only looking for build videos
@@johnmigl3601 I buy 95% of them. From time to time I am given a tool and that is disclosed in each video that it happens in. It's rare, especially now because I am at the point where I can get the tools I want to review with my own money. But I do have a great working relationship with good companies like TayTools, Massca, and others because I actually like the people behind the companies, and from time to time we partner on videos. Again, those are always disclosed.
I'd love to see how the Rockler chisels compare to these. I feel like I wasted money getting the Rocklers.
Hardness is everything. These are hardened to RC 62 minimum, the Rockler is RC 61, the Japanese ones start from RC 63. So, yes. 61 is still way better than most though. Achieving higher hardness requires higher quality steel.
shouldn't these videos have "includes paid advertisement" in the first few minutes or is this just an affiliate deal?
I have that option selected on my side. Not sure why it wouldn't show up.
@@731Woodworks kool, dont want to see you get dinged for something stupid, sometimes the UA-cam algorithm is just plain dumb. enjoy the videos keep up the great work!
Where do I find someone that buys $200 black friday gifts?
Probably anywhere that has people that have full-time jobs, maintain a respectable budget, which in turn provides them the ability to splurge on themselves or their family when the situation permits. I was saving to buy a Onefinity CNC Machine, but busted my CNC savings to buy my son a PS5 for his 17th birthday and my wife a live edge kitchen table made by a local woodworker because I love them. In my circle we take care of our own, I wish you the best of luck finding this type of career success & love one day
I don't know what people are whining about? $300 for 7 of these chisels is DIRT CHEAP. You could pay that much or a lot more for a Single high-end Japanese chisel.
Yup, I’m going to buy a chisel set costing over $200 as an average woodworker so I can display them and show my friends I have money to waste. It’s OK if you’re a professional chiseler and furniture maker.
Whether your a professional or not you want a good set. Buy once cry once. When your skills get better you will wish you had them
This isn’t about showing people you have money to waste. Simmer down Joseph. Jealous much? 😢😢
Do you go through every stores ads and write them letters when they sell something for a higher price than you think you should spend for it? If the answer was NO, then your comment here was unnecessary!
Joseph, understandable they are not cheap. But cheap chisels aren't good and good chisels aren't cheap. I tried using a cheap set when I started, and you can see them in this video. They are just bad. And in woodworking, no matter if you're a professional or not if you're building certain projects a good set of chisels could be a valuable asset. But you can certainly build a lot of projects without chisels. I did for years. Just depends on what you're making.
Wow. If these are too rich for your blood, woodworking just might not be a hobby for you. These are very reasonably priced.
generation tools today means your grandkids will be selling these at a garage sale once you pass away.
lol probably so and for pennies on the dollar.
Getting near retirement I was thinking about this the other day cleaning my tool chest. I would hope to hand down my collection of working tools to my son and it looks like he would be keen. I was given in the past with retiring colleagues in the same boat gave me keep sakes which I cherish. I still add to my chest with tools I come upon or are more pricey. It is like my cars, I have one in the garage I liked as a youth and now I can purchase them to scratch an itch. Tools can be the same, I find it sad when I see tool Box being sold and tool split up, the craftsperson who built the collection is then forgotten.
