Power Grip - 7 piece Carving Set

These are way better than I was expecting. I've seen a lot of chisels that are labelled as ready to use right out of the box and they always have a pitiful edge on them and need sharpening. These were not labelled as ready to use but they are absolutely razor sharp, super happy!

This set of chisels was recommended by Hape Kiddle in advance of one of his workshops . His experience and talent as an artist carried a lot of weight . The set itself is helping improve my abilities with carving and allows me a greater range of cutting options. The tools were sharp and ready to use from the box. Good value for money . Peter

I needed some small carving tools to help out with my guitar building. I also had a small netsuke project I wanted to do.

These tools were an excellent purchase. Out of the box they were ready to go and needed no sharpening. They could shave the hair on my arm.

The handles look like red oak and are easy to hold in various positions to get that precise cut. I am also impressed by the box they come in. There’s a moulded plastic tray for each tool and also a soft plastic tip to protect each tool. When I’m finished I put them away in their respective place and throw the box in a drawer.

It’s often the little things that count.

The range of shapes is also excellent. I was able to achieve everything I wanted.

Another high quality tool from JTA. Thanks guys.

Seem to be good quality and selection of tools although perhaps not all appropriate to netsuke carving which is my interest. Value for money.

Can't really see the back end of the chisel. Is it full timber? Are they suitable to be tapped with a timber or rubber mallet?
Any information is welcome!

Purchased these as I had the idea of carving a small box for my girlfriend, first time carving aswell! All went perfect! Chisels worked great! Box came out great and girlfriend loved it! Only downside is chisels are quite dull now but looking forward to sharpening them up with some waterstones which I’m yet to buy!

easy to use and provides everything you need to learn. Great product

Bought these to go with the Netsuke for beginners book. Quality is impressive and I think they will last well.

Bought 5 piece set a few months ago! Ordered these to compliment the range!

great purchase, quality design and workmanship

Razor sharp out of the box.
Neatly packed with clear rubber guards.
Ergonomic hand grip.
Quick shipping at good prices.
All in all a good time all round.
10/10 would recommend.

I was looking for a fine carving set but this set presented a challenge for me. I usually use my palm to carve freehand and this set has me holding the chisel like a pen. At first I thought the name power grip was a misnomer. Persistence led me to a different way of fine carving that led to a more accurate control of the tool.

My order was dispatched quickly and got to me without any problems.
As a beginner in woodblock printing this set is a great way to start, I am loving these tools and bought a book about sharpening to keep them as new.

I bought this as a goft for my Mum. She is loving them. Arrived very sharp and the thicker handles make them easier to grip
