These chisels are good value for money. Entry level to start. I have a good wood chisel from a well known brand that is about 20 years old and does a little bigger but costs a little more. It really comes down to how the chisel feels and how well it holds up over the years. I'd be surprised if they actually stayed together because of the bullying I'm going to inflict on them. The real thing boils down to the price per abuse. I will probably buy them again as they are cheaper and last a while and I could buy 4 sets for the cost of my other 1 set of 4. I hope you like them too and remember that I feel through my gloves and that's why I like them.
