Tools and Hardware Reviews of IRWIN M444/-5/8 5/8-Inch IRWIN MARPLES BLUE CHIP Bevel Edge Chisel

Customer Review: Not From Sheffield England Anymore!!
Summary: 3 Stars

The Marples in the past were a very good to excellent quality tool at a reasonable price. A significant factor has always been the generous length of usable blade made of Sheffield Steel. The 2 chisels I just received are no longer made in Sheffield , rather they have a very neat plastic packaging and is marked "made in China".
While the chisels appear to be nicely sharpened, I have already been warned by respected pros of the variable steel used in China production.
I think the quality will be questionable, I am suspect, but will let the chisels I bought serve some time on my workbench and see how they measure up. It really is too bad. The era of quality tool manufacturing being accessible to the common man(reasonably priced) may be over.
