Beautiful quality but the chisels are not very sharp out of the box - you will want to spend a bit of time on a whetstone prior to using.

I wanted to buy the Stanley sweetheart chisels but after seeing the cost of a set of those and
Comparing the reviews these sound like the right way to go... they arrived today and after a bit of testing I've come to the conclusion that these weren't only right choice... the amount of money saved I can put that towards other tools I would like to add to my arsenal! Thanks! Great product!

I would consider this to be a fine set for the beginner and expert alike. The six chisels provide you with a good variety of widths suitable for most applications. I found that the protective coating that the chisels are shipped with was easily removed with a little acetone. The markings on the steel are printed, not etched into the steel, so they will wipe off when removing the coating. The steel is very hard so, out of the box, the set-up might take a little longer than a softer steel chisel. The backs weren't as flat as others that I have bought, meaning that you'll need to invest some time there. This was the only negative that I found, but not severe enough to affect the 5 stars. Fortunately for me, the chisels that I received all had slightly concave backs, so the flattening didn't take as long as it would if you have convex backs. They are manufactured with 25 degree bevels, so if you prefer a different bevel angle (I prefer about 30 degrees, with no micro bevel), plan on a little work before you jump into any woodworking. If you want some advice for setting up your chisels, I would recommend checking out Paul Sellers on YouTube.

After achieving the proper set-up, I found that they hold a sharp edge for quite a while. I'm no metallurgist, but I understand that they will hold an edge even longer after a few sharpenings. Something to do with the hardening process during manufacture.

The thickness of the steel is a little more than what you might find with "premium" chisels, but that didn't affect the performance in a negative way. They are well suited to cleaning up dovetails and for cutting mortises and shaving tenons and dados. The handles are a good size and shape and are comfortable. I applied a little BLO to mine, just for a little protection. There is a wood nub at the top of the handle, so if you like to use the "palm hammering" method, you might leave a welt on your hand. I like to use a soft-face hammer (don't use a metal hammer!).

You can pay (a lot) more for the "premium" chisels, but, in my opinion, you don't need to. With proper set-up and care, these should last a lifetime.

I'm taking a week-long joinery class, and am an amateur furniture builder. I needed a more comprehensive set of chisels, suitable for finer-detailed working (rather then my travel Stanley chisels), and I wanted a set that came with a case or roll-up leather. I purchased these Narex based on a quality woodworker I follow on Instagram.
The factory finish on these were Okay, but for my joinery class I immediately sharpened every chisel at 6000, 8000, then honing compound on a course stropping leather, then fine stropped (no compound). Razor-sharp.
The case is fine, but not incredibly portable - better for in-shop use only.

I am a hobby woodworker and have been for over a year now. I used the project source chisels from Lowes before getting these and I am AMAZED at the difference! They hold an edge well. They were good to go out of the box. They cant shave the hair off your arm but if your using the chisel correctly and taking small passes they are good to go. The handle is good quality. My only complaint is the silver ring on the toop. They all spin and none are secure but that does not affect the quality of these. The price is also amazing for the # of sizes you get, the decent quality storage box, and the AMAZING quality of these chisels. I am very happy with this investment. You dont have to spend $50 a chisel to get a good quality tool.
Update: I lied, they do need honing for best use but still cut pretty well outta the box. If your a woodworker you'll be sharpening tools for the rest of your life so sharpening a new set shouldn't be an issue :)
