Review on Premium Vanadium Woodworking Carpentry Craftsman by Hector Smith

quality issues. on hand tools

ok i know they are only $56 but there are issues with the finish of the chisels and the specs and description provided by the seller. My first clue was when they arrived in individual blister packs, again wrapped in bubble wrap. I'll try to list a few things that weren't worth the price I paid. Chisels are not a consistent phrase. The inscriptions and the size of the engraving vary or are absent. 2. Bit to bit processing is not standard. The chisels are the same length, but the blades themselves are not sharpened to the same length. The flute varies from blade to handle. Some of the bits had actual grinding marks indicating they had been recycled or rebuilt from a larger bit. The side bevels from the back of the blades to the front have a different angle on either side.4. The 16mm chisel I received was 17.32mm at the narrowest part of the blade. Equivalent to 18mm?5. The chisels were nowhere near sharp. The description says they are ready to use right out of the box. I wasn't expecting them to be professionally sharp but they looked like table knives. I suggest you look elsewhere for chisels in this price range.

Pros
  • chisel
Cons
  • there are new competitors
