Irwin Marples Chisel Set

Irwin Marples represents a storied legacy in the woodworking industry, combining the heritage of two distinct tool manufacturing giants. The Marples brand originated in Sheffield, United Kingdom, where William Marples began producing high-quality edge tools in 1828. For nearly two centuries, Marples became synonymous with precision chisels and woodworking implements used by craftsmen worldwide.

In the late 20th century, the brand was acquired by Irwin Tool Company, a firm originally founded in the United States in 1885 by Charles Irwin. Today, Irwin Marples is a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker, one of the world's largest tool manufacturing conglomerates headquartered in the USA. While the brand carries British and American heritage, modern production for the retail market, including these high-impact steel core chisels, is primarily carried out in China to meet global distribution needs while maintaining competitive pricing for the consumer market.
