Good, economy chisels June 27, 2009

Chisel handles are comfortable oval shaped. They seem to have good balance. Definitely not ready the way they came in cheap plastic packaging. Each requires about 30 minutes of flattening the back and honing. For comparison, my Lie Nielsen socket bevel-edge chisel costs more than this whole set and still requires 10 minute.
Good steel when properly honed and keep its edge well

The chisels I recieved were the worst looking tools I have seen in a while. The brass rings were rusting, and they didn't seem to line up right with the handle. The handles looked like they had been rushed through production, there were rough edges that needed sanding and the stamped name was smeared. The business end of the chisels looked awful, I only took out one chisel for inspection and that one had a small chip in the cutting edge. To top it all off, the packaging was for a set of plastic-handled chisels. It is obvious to me that whoever makes these chisels doesn't care at all about their product, so back to Amazon this one goes -- thanks for wasting my time Footprint. I went out to Lowes and got myself a set of stanleys that aren't great but they are a whole lot better than these, and cheaper too.

Made very well, I used them to cut dovetails in curly maple with no problems. They held their edge well. Also these are made in England not in China like the Irwin Marples.

Just cut a bunch of half blind dovetails in cherry with these. They were easy to sharpen (backs were nice and flat) and stayed sharp. Wood handles are a little square so they don't roll away and they really took a beating. They're also comfortable to hold. Blades are thin enough to fit into the corners of the dovetails. I first ordered the set but had to switch to getting them one at a time when the set was out of stock. Would somebody please ask them to make one in 1/8 inch?
