FaithfullHSS Turning Chisel Set of 8 in Wooden Presentation Box, Walnut Handles, Brass Ferrules. Full Length Turning Chisel Size (440mm)

Great value for money. They need honing, as per instruction on the box. Seem to be a good quality steel that takes and edge and keeps it. Comfortable in the hand. Steel has a corrosive protective coating on, as you'd expect but other reviewers have moaned about. (I've left the coating on for protection). The box is handy, I've retained the silica sachets in the box for added protection. My tools are in an unheated garage/workshop/safe haven which can cause materials to sweat. Package arrived promptly and in good condition. I'm a beginner to the art of wood turning and I consider these chisels to be more than adequate without spending silly money for a "name". I recommend the chisel and seller.

Very good value for money, not the cheapest but, so far, I am not disappointed. The chisels were sharp straight out of the box (which is cheaply made) and so far I have not had to sharpen them, although I have only been turning Lebanese Cedar and sycamore, no really hard wood yet. I have no hesitation in recommending these chisels as a mid range set for the hobbyist wood turner.

These are my first lathe tools so I've nothing to compare against other than pictures. I'm very happy with these though, they're heavy, feel solid, are long, and are comfortable to hold and manoeuvre.They're sharp enough to cut with out of the box, but you'll want to sharpen them further before use. You'll sharpen them regularly anyway to keep their edge.They are coated in varnish though (even the chisel end) as if the whole tool was dipped in varnish. I guess it's to keep them from rusting, but I'd rather they were just oiled and plastic wrapped. I keep my tools clean and oil coated anyway.

I've just started wood turning and bought these chisels as my birthday present. They are fantastic. Really top quality product that are nice to work with. They come in a lovely wooden box so that you can keep them in a safe place and always know where they are. The company that sold them to posted them the same day as ordered and they came the day after. I highly recommend this product.

Chisels look great.The case they are supplied with is very flimsy for the product they carry.

Very good quality, holds a nice sharp edge for a good amount of time, I've brought these as my first set and did think I would have to replace them at some point, but the quality is so good I e just need adding to the set as they will last me for years! Much better than expected and you won't be disappointed.

Good size and weight: comfortable to hold. The steel holds its edge impressively well, even after a day of attacking seasoned yew.Brass ferrules are a nice touch and the box is a handy bonus for keeping your chisels together and dust free when not in use. NB, the box is practical but made from pretty thin plywood and not quite what I imagined.

As a starter kit this set is good value and well presented in a sturdy wooden box.Now the negatives - The tools are coated with a very heavy lacquer which must be removed before use. Also, they are only rough ground to required angles so will require proper sharpening before use.If it is your intention to turn mainly bowls then this set is definitely NOT what you require. The tools in this set are mainly aimed at spindle turning, only the 0.25” bowl gauge is a dedicated bowl tool.They hold their edge fairly well and because of the compact size are relatively simple to sharpen.If you are just setting up and are looking for a quick way into wood turning these tools will help to get the “feel” of turning.If you have a little more experience you may be better off buying individual tools of the specific type that you require.
