Review on Stanley 16-150 Short 3-Piece Chisel Set by Sam Lund

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overview and abstract thoughts

These chisels deserve 4 stars but not 5 stars because they are not quite correct/square. They are very sharp and also very receptive to being re-sharpened with my stone, but they didn't have that perfectly square sharp edge that makes the first use of new chisels so enjoyable. For the money I can't complain. They also arrived on time. They grind the thinnest of shavings well, but again, they're not quite square to my naked (wood-experienced) eye. A fresh chisel should be tasty and fresh in its completion. Not here. Would definitely buy again given the price, overall quality and my current lack of funds to purchase a truly professional tool box. 5+ stars if they are square correctly. I named the three Quincy, Shanikva and Hansjoachim. At the Sweet and Delicious Tool Store Elementary School, they have 4/5 gold star stickers on the front of their report cards.
