Review on πŸ”¨ CO-Z Hammer and Chisel Set with Included Chisels by Adam Nikolz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

tile bit not as angled/offset as expected

i went to the hardware store and looked through sds+ bits to see if there was anything better for scraping tiles in the reconstruction i'm doing. The final bath wasn't as easy as I thought it was, and I think it was due to using chisels that were too wide and/or too thick. I saw a Bosch Bulldog tile scraper and a figure that should have helped with its nice long, thin, offset and square profile. I didn't want to pay the asking price for a tool that I might never use again (and that might not work any better than others). This led me to Amazon to find a cheaper alternative and try different options for less money. I chose this supplier even though there were cheaper alternatives because their photos seemed to show the same profile as I saw at Bosch. I am now disappointed to see her. There's an angle, but it's so small it's hard to be sure. The difference is only about <2 mm from the center of the drill measured at the drill tip. I had to put it on a flat surface and then I saw very little rise or fall depending on which side I put the racquet on. So the kink is there, but I'm not sure it's enough to have a useful value. It was even harder to tell if there was any prejudice. It certainly doesn't look like it. It is clearly not as skewed or offset as shown in the photos. Since this bat is the most important to me for the upcoming project, I will be returning this set and buying myself a Bulldog bat. Aside from that minor downside, there's a good range to choose from and they seem to be built to last. Metal is not perfect. As mentioned, they have some texture. I'm not sure what the pits would say. More like fine grain. Because I bought them to destroy things with, surface imperfections didn't bother me too much. They came in with a decent lead on all bits. If I had paid $50 a beat I would have expected a better result. If I was just looking for a cheap option to play with I'd probably keep this set, but I'm not sure if it's any better or different than the wide range of other sets sold at a lower price on Amazon.

Pros
  • masonry bit
Cons
  • could have chosen a newer model
