GREBSTK4 Pcs Wood Chisel Set, CRV Steel Bevel Sharp Edge Bench Chisels with Edge Cover, Comfortful Rubber Handle with Metal Striking Cap, for Woodworking and DIY Projects (1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1")

These are the best value in chisels that I have ever had. The chisels arrived well packaged, and appeared to be of good quality.After unpacking , I began the task of flattening them, and to my surprise, it took no more than 5 minutes each.Each chisel polished to a mirror finish on its back, with minimal effort, and time. They were just as easy to get a razor sharp edge.I haven't had occasion to use them on anything other than yellow pine and walnut, but they have retained their edge as well as any others that I own.I suspect that they will not hold that edge quite as long as a top of the line, top dollar chisel, but for the money, and ease of sharpening, they can't be beaten.At 16 dollars for the entire set, I can happily sharpen a bit more frequently, and do without the coronary when one decides to roll off of my bench.Overall, they are also a pretty good looking set of chisels with decent ergonomics. If I could have one wish, it would have been nice to have had some leather caps on the bald headed end, to deaden some of the noise from the blows.This is just a great set of chisels, for very little money.UPDATE: After having more time with these, I have noticed that the steel does not hold an edge as well as I would prefer. I have been using them in some older, yellow pine that is peppered with hard, dense knots. I mentioned the fact that the pine is older yellow pine out of fairness. Yellow pine seems to gain a great deal of density, and the knots harden with age, as well as the fact that yellow pine contains a great deal of silica. None of those factors are friendly to a fine steel edge. In honesty, I don't believe that even the finest steel would hold up in that environment, but I mention it to give an honest and concise review.The down side is that the worst damage was very small chips on the edge, after using them with a mallet against the knots. Now, the redemption is the fact that the steel isn't hard enough to make removing the damage a chore. I was able to remove all damage with100 strokes on my 1000 grit diamond stone, and return to a razor sharp edge with another 100 on my 2000 grit, finalized with 30 strokes on my strop.All in all, the total process took less than 10 minutes.I still believe that, for the money, you couldn't ask for a better set of chisels. They would make an excellent purchase for someone that is just starting out, or like myself that just likes to have another set on hand for convenience. I am still thrilled with them, and would not hesitate to buy them again.

They arrived a couple of days ago as scheduled. The bevels on the cutting edges and sides were perfect. I sanded and reshaped the handles to my liking, spent some time flattening the backs and sharpening. The cutting edges came pretty sharp and required minimal time to surgical sharpening. I am very pleased overall. I broke them in on a mortise and tenon last night and they did great. Great buy for the money and should last the rest of my life.

Wanted some wood handled chisels and the reviews were solid enough and the price low enough that I decided to give them a shot. These are great for pairing or light tapping. I have some Narex mortise chisels and Marples bench chisels that I've used for years. These aren't in the same league but aren't bad either. Did some carving and tapping with my carving mallet and they held up fine and the edge held well. Tried to do a couple mortise with my heavy jointers mallet and got some minor chips in the blade. Overall a nice, wood handled,, budget set for light work. I'd buy these before some of the other cheap sets at a big box store. If you plan on doing lots of mortise work I'd give these a pass.

Great tool to have around. Used it when making a “Penny Drop” game box. Seems durable and sharp.

This is a bit long because I want to add some context The first woodworking chisel I purchased was a Narex Richter extra bevel edge chisel. I only bought the 1/2" size for $46. I wanted to get one before investing in more. I like this chisel very much. It's excellent for many reasons. Then I bought the 4 piece Narex Profi bevel edge chisel set for around $50. This set came with a weird coating that was difficult to get off during the sharpening process. BTW, all chisels need to be sharpened upon arrival if you want to get a super sharp edge for woodworking. The Narex chisels work great after sharpening and seem to hold their edge well.So on to this set. I bought it on a whim. German, only $14, I figured I'd take a flyer. Worse case, I'd have a set of "I don't care" chisels to do more coarse work. The handles are smaller than the Narex chisels. So far, not a problem. I wanted to try a set with smaller handles to determine a preference.Unlike the Narex chisel set (not the Richter), this set did not have a coating on the chisel and the back seemed reasonably flat and the edge decently sharp. A good starting place to begin the flattening and sharpening process. The backs of all the chisels took a while and I started with 150 grit sandpaper on an MDF board. Then moved to a 300 grit diamond stone and finally a 1000 grit diamond stone. I'd say the work involved was much less than the Narex set and the same as the Richter chisel. Once the back was flat I put a secondary bevel on at 30 degrees. I used a Lie Nielsen honing jig to help. For the 1/4" chisel, I had to do it free hand. I started at 1000 grit diamond stone, got a bur, then moved to an 8000 grit wet sandpaper and finished all with a strop. It didn't take very much time at all to establish a razor sharp edge. The edge cut paper quite well. For $14, I'm quite pleased.I don't know how well they will hold the edge during use, but it only takes minutes to resharpen, so If your looking for an inexpensive woodworking chisel set, I recommend giving these a try.

For the price, these are really good. They arrived extremely sharp and seem to hold an edge pretty well.

It's a nice set. I'll let you know how they hold up. Got a task that needs doing. Seems a perfect test.

Even though I have not worked with these chisels yet they appear to be good and well finished. Contrary to some, these ones came sharp. So far I am happy with them.

This is a good product for the price, but know it isn’t a ready to use product.It actually took some elbow grease to get the backs flattened to a proper working condition. Steel is ok and holds its edge well enough. Once sharpened they worked great.Handles are ok and hold up to wooden mallet.I’d say if you are a weekend woodworker on a budget, these will do you just fine. If you are using this for odd jobs around the house, these will do great, provided you take the time to sharpen these properly.

Holzbeitel gut!

Ok, but was as long as I was expecting

I love this set of chisels. It worked great after I get them sharpen. Only thing is Singapore weather humidity did helped because the other metal parts can rust easily. But I still like them a lot.
