For the money you can't get better. They have a full shaft, which is important if you switch from a mallet to an iron hammer from time to time. The handles are flat which is an important feature of the chisel as it prevents it from rolling off the desk. The whetstone is fine, but the "jib" isn't really a chiseling device. They are sharp and hold an edge. I've used them on everything from plaster to oak and they do their job very well.
