GREBSTK 4 Piece Wood Chisel Set CR-V Steel Sharp Bevel Edge for Woodworking | Chromium Vanadium, Hard & Durable. Ergonomic Beech Handle. 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1" With Safety Caps for Carving & DIY

They have worked for everything I needed to so far. But the rings that prevent the handles from splitting feels cheap. As if they could be a metallic shell over plastic core? Or a really chintzy metal? Not sure but it doesn't feel like it will work better than a few turns of bailing wire will in the long term. Though the handles themselves have plenty of grip space and a good shape that helps find edge alignment. They are maybe more top heavy than is ideal. But not unwieldy. The packaging is rather nice. They come in one of those crimped plastic sleeves with multiple slots and a flap. It rolls up and goes into a bag which fits into a decent reusable cardboard box. Each of the chisels come tipped with a removable edge protector. They came sharp out the box. Didn't even need deburring. I touched them up once and they took well the being honed. But the steel is definitely not as hard as more expensive chisels. So it sharpens easily but has lower edge retention. It's not the best version of what these could be if buying an antique set and/or paying a lot more. But it met my expectations for the price and I don't think one can reasonably expect anything better at this price point. If you're just looking for some learner tools or just have a singular job you need them for and can foresee using them again once or twice a year, then these are perfectly acceptable.

I use these from time to time on the job and they work like they should! Very sharp! The different sizes in the bundle is a nice feature. Worth it to me!

Decent quality. Good for basic work. Worth the price!

These chisels were reasonably sharp out of the box, but, like most tools, really should be sharpened before use for the best results. I spent about 15-20 minutes on the 1/2" and 3/4" chisels that I needed for my project with 400/1000/3000/8000 grit stones using an angle guide. Despite feeling sharp out the box, it's remarkable how much better these chisels will go with a little work. I was easily able to carve clean notches into some old reclaimed cedar 2x4s I was repurposing. The edges are clean and help keep the wood nice and straight. The handle can take being hammered without showing any signs of splitting. I really like this size chisel as it feels good in the hand and is big enough to give a little leverage without being cumbersome. I'm leaving them stored in the cardboard box they came in because the plastic storage bag is flimsy and half the blade guards included were broken on arrival.

For the cost, these chisels are good to go. In my opinion, these are better than many of the cheap name brand chisels at the blue or orange store sells. Not on par with Sorby, Stanley Sweetheart, or Narex, but they work just fine. Needed to sharpen before use, but sharpened up quickly. Seem to hold an edge ok. Overall, very pleased.

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.

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.

Decent

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.

Love the balance and how easy to sharpen . Great value for money.

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.

Ok, but was as long as I was expecting

The chisels seem to be decent quality. Not as sturdy as I expected but they should serve their purpose. If you need them in a hurry find another supplier. Shipping was slow. Took weeks to arrive
