GREBSTK 9.5in Wood Chisel Set for Woodworking, 4pcs Chrome Vanadium Steel Bevel-Edge Bench Chisels with Cap, Comfortable Beech High Impact Handle

Nice set for the money.

I cannot imagine a better set of chisels for the price. They feel good and look good and are pretty sharp as received. I just got them so I cannot speak to their durability, but I am very happy with this purchase thus far.

Chisels are a funny thing in woodworking. Master woodworkers in their 70's might still use a no-name set, with no idea where they come from, that they'll continue to use for the rest of their lives. That's because as long as chisels have good steel, hold an edge, and have a flat back, it doesn't matter what the brand is.That's why you need to understand what you're getting when you buy a $12-17 set of chisels. You are not paying for a meticulously crafted hand tool with a finely honed edge and back quality controlled to be as flat as flat can be. If you want that, go pay for it. But, if you're willing to put a little work in, these will work as well as any set of expensive chisels you could buy. I've used these chisels alone to make gapless dovetails countless times since I purchased them in everything from cherry, to oak.First, you'll absolutely need to sharpen them. That's non negotiable. Rating these without sharpening them is unfair. $300 Lie Nielsen planes have to be sharpened out of the box. You'll probably want to grind in a new bevel. The factory bevel is somewhere closer to 30 degrees. With a little elbow grease you can get it done with sandpaper and a honing jig. I got all of mine to 25, with a 30 degree micro bevel within an hour.Next, you'll want to spend some time flattening the back on float glass or your flattest stones.After that... I've sharpened them once in the two months I've had them and I'm still getting fine shavings. The handles aren't the greatest, and the metal rings don't stay put, but I could really care less.. if they break, I order another set of $12 chisels.. that easy.

great product exceeding what I was expecting.

I gave these five stars because for the price and after I had made substantial revisions they turned out to be decent tools. However, as they come the handles are dreadful, and the machining is very rough. These are not to be confused with far more expensive high quality chisels. I bought these to practice making new handles and test the feel of the handles I made before putting new handles made of some special wood I had onto some better quality chisels that came with unsatisfactory plastic handles. After making handles that are a custom fit for my hand and spending some time cleaning up the machining of the steel I found that properly sharpened these chisels worked quite well and they have been holding their edge as well as my more expensive chisels (which, no matter how good the chisel, is never a very long time). So I rate them at five stars for value for money, keeping well in mind that there is very little money involved.
