Ingco Wood Chisel 16mm HWC0816 CRV Blade

Our review

This is a 16mm wood chisel from Ingco, listed as model HWC0816, with a blade length of 140mm and a CRV (chrome vanadium) steel cutting end. It comes packed individually in a double blister. That makes it a straightforward bench chisel for someone doing general carpentry, joinery or furniture repair, where a mid-size blade handles common tasks like cleaning mortises, paring joints and trimming waste. Before buying, think about the size you actually need: 16mm sits between narrow chisels for detail work and wider ones for heavy chopping, so it suits all-round use rather than a single specialist job. Check whether you already own a similar width, and consider whether you want a set covering several sizes instead of one chisel. Compare the blade material and stated length against other chisels in the same class, and confirm the handle style suits how you work. If you need a specific steel grade, handle type or warranty detail, note that none are given here, so ask the seller on Sokonia before ordering.
