I am an amateur woodworker. I bought these to make mortises in some 4x4 timbers that would become my workbench. While my work isn't stellar (okay, it's all a bit crooked), these performed exceptionally. Nice, clean cuts with easily controlled precision. A very satisfying experience. I was able to cut 4 mortises in about an hour, and I was taking my time.
The tools look nice and are evidently well-made. They feel nice in the hand and take a good strike very well. If you've never used a cheap chisel before, there is a very unpleasant sensation in both hands when a mallet strikes a bunch of cheap wood and metal. It's like striking a stone with a shovel. These absorb a modest blow and drive straight.
I did have to sharpen it somewhat quickly after the first use (I used right out of the box as they seemed plenty sharp to me), but once I honed it, it kept the edge for a surprising time.
My only complaint is that there was no storage included, but that's mostly because I haven't fashioned a way to store them yet. I suppose if they'd included a bag or roll for them, once I had a place to store them I'd get rid of whatever they sent anyway, so who cares.
An excellent value that immediately upped my workshop capabilities.
