Quality Issues: Hand Tools

These chisels have quickly become general purpose chisels that I love to smash. The metal is soft and needs constant sharpening. It quickly became clear that quality doesn't play a major role in production when I opened the box and noticed that a chisel didn't have an exact chamfer on the side. This made the chisel look "crooked" if you will. The best way to describe this defect is to compare the problem to a board held askew on a fence when cut at a 45 degree angle. This means that the material at the end has a smaller material slope than at the front. One thing benefits parents with chisels, you really do get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Hand Tools
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
