Pros: Sharp β Cuts jaws like butter. I haven't tested them with hardwood yet. Durability - They appear to be durable. They are difficult to bend or chip. Design - The handles are comfortable and ergonomic. The piston and flat side are easy to hit with a hammer. Cons: Non-modular blade - I think it would be difficult to attach the blade to a different handle if the included handle becomes damaged for some reason. Final Thoughts: These are great chisels. by price. I don't have enough experience to know how they compare to higher quality bits but I highly recommend them as a first set of bits and would buy again if I lose my current set.
