These Industrial and Scientific hand tools were a complete waste of money.As my tests showed, they were unable to hold an edge and were too brittle for any serious use. The only pro was the initial sharpness upon unboxing, but it quickly dulled after minimal use. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for quality chisels as these simply dont make the cut..
These chisels are identical to the Stanley "Sweetheart" chisels, just renamed the Irwin/Marples. Pretty good steel, hornbeam handles make these chisels a great value.
