I have a 1 1/4" Marples chisel. The spine didn't last long given the width (it was slightly dished). The edge dulls quicker than my expensive chisel set so I use them not for dovetail cutting in hard or abrasive woods As a general purpose chisel it does a great job - sanding glue lines, trimming etc so I don't have to use my good chisels for these jobs Its long blade is a huge advantage over hardware store chisels I will buy a set.
