They took a considerable amout of time to tune up, as the backs weren't flat, but that is expected from this price range.
I'm convinced this is the same steel used in the Stanley Sweethearts and it's quite good. These tools have served me well over the years, and while I've acquired many other chisels, including a set of Veritas PMV 11, these Stanley's are still my go to chisel for many tasks. Yes, the Veritas are finer chisels in every respect, but they are reserved for delicate paring or dovetails. The Stanley's do all of the grunt work and they do it admirably. Assuming they are still making them the way they did then, for the money, these things are a steel. (Sorry for the bad pun).
My only complaint is amazon shipping. 1 star for amazon shipping. This seems to be amazons weak point because I've read so many reviews on so many different tools and I come across people complaining about amazons shipping standards a lot. I have ordered these, and also a bosch orbital sander recently from amazon and both things came packaged horribly. This has caused me to seek my products elsewhere and just use amazon for research purposes. These came shipped in a box with hardly no extra packaging paper and therefore all my chisels were loose in the box. Thankfully the tip protectors stayed on all the chisels and there was no damage to any of them. But this is just plain unacceptable and bad business.
The steel is superb. Your honed edge will last a very long time and sharpens rather easily. I've used these every day for about 2 months since I received them.
What I'm not a fan of are the handles. They're just too big, even for a guy with big hands. And while they do have flats on two sides (to prevent rolling), the steel is heavier so they can still roll around, often on the edge. But that's a personal preference thing..
For the money, these are fantastic chisels that will serve you well for a lifetime. They are my go-to chisels for
sure. Just avoid beating on them with metal Hammers. The lacquer will shoot off like bullets.
Enjoy!
I started with 400 grit sandpaper on glass to clear the factory applied lacquered layer off of the working surfaces. I moved on to a 1000 grit water stone, then up to 8000 grit. I'll strop it later for the final polish on the edge.
Pictures show milling marks at the half done point - I kept going until they were gone.
Cleaned them up with WD-40 to remove moisture, then will wipe them down with 3-in1 oil to prevent rust.
Seems like a good kit. I'll update later, if needed, once they see wood time and I know better how they cut and keep an edge. Right now the sharp one will shave hair off my arm, and the steel seems quality, so I'm not expecting issues.
Update: Chisels went through about 20 dovetails on 3/4” thick oak without issue. Could have done more before touch up sharpening would have been needed. I'm happy.
