Narex Hand tools

Narex hand tools represent top-notch quality proven by generations of craftsmen. With over a century of traditional Czech manufacturing in Bystřice u Benešova, we offer a comprehensive range of tools for professional carpenters, woodcarvers, locksmiths, and discerning DIY enthusiasts. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, precise craftsmanship, and an emphasis on ergonomic handles, you can rely on our tools for both the heavy-duty work of everyday life in the workshop and for creating the finest details.

The Narex line of hand tools consists of a wide variety of tools:

• Screwdrivers and bits (standard and electrician’s screwdrivers, bits, and bit holders)
• Joiner’s tools (joiner’s chisels, planes, rasps and files, mallets, drill bits, countersinks, gouges, scriber knives, and other tools)
• Woodcarving tools (the assortment is divided into the START, STANDARD, and PROFI series)
• Other hand tools and accessories (punches, center punches, chisels, cutters, pry bars, sharpeners, and more)

Reliable screwdrivers and bits 

Whether you’re wiring electrical connections, assembling furniture, or repairing a machine, you can’t do without a high-quality screwdriver. When it comes to screwdrivers, we emphasize highly durable alloy steel tips and ergonomic handles that won’t slip and will transfer the maximum amount of your force.

• Classic screwdrivers: Cover everything from precision work to heavy-duty assembly.
• Electrician’s screwdrivers: Insulated and certified models designed for safe work on live circuits.
• Bits and bit holders: Bits are essential for efficient screwdriving and assembly work with both hand and power tools, and bit holders allow you to securely hold the bits in place while working.

Which carpentry chisels to choose

The basic considerations are the shape of the cutting edge and the width. If you’re primarily working on flat surfaces, grooves, and tenons, start with flat chisels. You’ll appreciate hollow chisels for shaping (concave surfaces, curves, and shaped transitions).

For a quick start in the workshop, a combination of widths is typically recommended:

• a narrow chisel for details and tenons
• a medium “all-purpose” chisel
• a wider chisel for finishing surfaces

If you’re choosing by series, here’s a simple rule: for everyday workshop work, opt for durable models, and for precise finishing, choose series designed for fine precision (including sets, if you want your chisel widths to be matched right from the start).

Woodcarving Tools for Every Skill Level 

Whether you’re just starting out in woodcarving or you’re a master of the craft creating intricate sculptures, we offer chisels and knives tailored precisely to your hands.

• PROFI: A top-of-the-line series made of premium-quality steel with hand-polished blades, designed for professional and detailed carving.
• STANDARD: High-quality tools with an excellent price-to-performance ratio, ideal for everyday woodcarving work.
• START: Affordable sets designed specifically for complete beginners and occasional projects.

Other Hand Tools

In this section, you’ll find not only durable striking and prying tools—a must-have in any locksmith’s workshop or maintenance technician’s toolbag—but also the essential equipment for properly caring for your tools.

• Punchers and Center Pins: Basic striking tools for precisely marking holes in metal and punching out pins.
• Chisels and cutters: Chisels are tools for cutting materials and chiseling into masonry or concrete, while cutters are used for precisely cutting out gaskets (e.g., from leather or rubber).
• Crowbars: Extremely sturdy steel tools designed for the most demanding demolition and assembly work.
• Other accessories: Blade guards, replacement handles, and other accessories.

Sharpening and Maintenance That Make a Difference

A sharp tool is safer and more precise. As soon as you feel a bit of resistance, it’s time for maintenance—sharpening early is faster than “rescuing” a completely dull blade.

• For regular maintenance, use a finer sharpening stone followed by honing
• For a damaged blade, start with a coarser grit and gradually move to finer grits.
• After use, clean the tool and store it so that the blade does not come into contact with other metal parts.
