STANLEY 0 16 880 25mm Dynagrip Strike Cap Chisel

The first thing to think about is the width of the chisel’s iron and specifically the tip. Larger blades are typically used for furniture manufacturing. Depending on the kind of woodworking you’ll be doing and whether you’ll be making intricate patterns, you might need smaller Chisels, or multiple tools for different stages of your projects.

You should also check the comfort and safety properties provided by different Wood Chisels. Do they have an ergonomic grip? Is the blade guard full length? Can it withstand hammer strikes from multiple angles?

It’s also worth thinking about whether you need a pre-sharpened blade which is ‘ready to go’ straight from the pack.
