Four and a half stars really…
These chisels are a great value for the money. The other reviewers are correct, these are easy to sharpen and they do hold an edge fairly well. The handles feel extremely cheap, but I have been using a rubber hammer to strike the handles with and they are holding up fine. Looks can be deceiving I guess. I do like the shape of these handles better than a perfectly round handle. The box is cheaply made, but sturdy enough, and it does a great job of protecting the chisels from the hazards of shop life. I recommend these chisels as a good buy, well worth the money.

Cheap chisels
Don’t be fooled. This chisels are not worth their price. I was given a set two years ago. I never used them until three months ago. I was using my old reliable set. I took this chisels out of the box and went to hone them. Come to find out, the still is severly deformed. The facets are totally out of place and you can not get a smooth bevel on them—There’s NO WAY you could double bevel these. I reground them myself to as square as possible. No sooner than I did that, the half inch chisel started breaking the corners! I did not blue the steel as I use a Tormek sharpening system. Plus, I was using them without a mallet—by hand! Cheap metal, cheap craftsmanship, poor quality!

Good Starter Set - But skip the box
These are my first set of chisels - I don’t know how much I’ll use them, so I want to keep the purchase cost reasonable. They arrived with an o.k. edge, but needed a little cleanup. The handles feel really solid. As for the box, well I really like to keep my stuff organized, so I like to get promo sets that come with cases - but this box was pretty [...]…The clasp on the front doesn’t latch and the inside is just a flimsy molded polystyrene insert(same plastic they make disposable cold drink cups out of). I recommend getting one of the other sets without the box and either hanging them on pegboard or putting them in a toolbox drawer.
