Should I choose chisels from Veritas or Lie-Nielsen?

Both makers produce very high quality chisels, so you cannot go wrong. Our own experience is that Veritas PM-V11 chisels are a touch better. The blade and neck are made in one piece, while Lie-Nielsen's are in two parts. PM-V11 also holds an edge for a long time and is easy to sharpen.

Also think about length. Long chisels give good control for paring and fitting, while short ones are handier in tight spaces and for work close to the body.
