Review of FINE DETAIL WOOD CARVING 11 PIECE SET

Please don't waste your money.
The tools are not ussable. There are very bad sharpened. They can no cut even paper.
The materias is OK, but if you want the tools to be usefull you must sharp them with stone and you'll spend too much time.
Better to buy some other tools.

Review of Grizzly G7102 Japanese Chisels - 10 pc. Set

If you're looking for a decent set of chisels, this set should do perfectly fine. I flattened the backs in an evening, sharpened them the next.They hold an edge very well.For the price, you just can't go wrong.

I gave the set 4 stars simply because the finish on the handles could be better.

Review of Grizzly G8083 12 pc. Carving Chisel Set

Ordered this set of chisels and when I opened the box you could tell they're cheaply made from China.They are roughly grounded and not worth the price of $40 dollars.If your are to send them back it's not worth it.First the shipping charges were high at almost $14.00 and they also add a restocking fee of 4 percent.If you're to send them back you'll come out loosing money. Postage to return them minus the shipping charges they collected and the restocking fee.It's not worth it.Wouldn't buy from Grizzly again....

Review of PSI Woodworking LCPM3CAR 3 Piece Carbide Tipped Pen Turning Lathe Chisel Set

These may have been fine except that there was a large chip in the skew chisel. And besides nothing beats quality made tools these are not. they are for those whom lack the time or the know how to sharpen their chisels. Do it right the first time so that you dont have to do it a second.

Review of Two Cherries 515-3441 11-piece Carving Tools In Wood Box

I own other Two Cherries chisels and I am very satisfied with them. When I bought them they were in perfect condition, sharp and clean. That is the reason why I decided to buy the set of carving tools for my wife. When it arrived, the V-tool chisel had a nick on the sharp edge. When I tried to sharpen one of the straight chisels on my Tormek I had a problem because the chisel was twisted and I could not manage to sharpen this one properly. It is still good tools but for the price I expected better.

Review of Carving Chisel Set - Carving Chisel Set

I recently purchased the chisels and am very happy with them so far. The chisels came nicely polished right out of the box and require only minimal effort to hone them. They came nicely sharpened and were useable but need (like all edged tools) slight honing to be in tip top shape.
I did find (as expected) that the chisels were a little to thick for fine carving but I am well satisfied with them as I feel this is a good entry level set although it could have some other chisels added to make the set more complete. If you're looking for a starter set of carving chisels I feel you can't go wrong for with this set. The price is reasonable and the quality is what one would expect, the thick metal is forgiving and allows you to mess up sharpening a time or two.

Review of PSI Woodworking LCAN6M HSS Midi Lathe Chisel Anniversary Set, 6-Piece

I have been using these chisels for about 3 weeks now and a couple of them are already falling apart. The tools have become loose in the handles, and the pins that hold the brass rings around the top of the handles have broken off so the brass pieces fall off constantly. These chisels would probably be fine for turning spindles from softer, nearly round materials, but they will not hold up when used for turning square stock to round, especially if you are turning hard woods like oak and hickory. The only positive thing I have to say about these tools is that since they are high speed steel, they do hold an edge well. In conclusion, I would not order these chisels again, under any circumstances.

Review of Two Cherries 515-3303 Chip Carving Knives - 3 Piece Set

While the quality of these knives is well known in general, I was a little disappointed by the time I had to spend to dress the blades before using them. I don't know if the blades are left somewhat dull intentionally, but I expected a bit better. The knives do have a good solid comfortable feel and quality metal in the blades. I will likely purchase this brand in the future, but expect to spend time sharpening them before use for wood carving.

These chisels are ok for if you are not planning to do much in the way of turning. You can buy chisels for less and get the same performance or get a much better set for more money the will give much better performance.

I bought two units. One shipped before the other ... the second a couple of days later. The hard plastic case on one unit was cracked and not suitable for a gift. The other unit had the inner formed plastic liner shattered. Put the good liner in the "pretty good" case and kept the damaged unit for myself. A good value that could use better packing or shipping methods.

Review of SpringTools CA198 3 Piece Woodworking Set with Nail Starter, Nail Set, Wood Chisel, Center Punch

A favorite local tool shop that I frequent had a display of these on the counter. I was intrigued by the novelty of the design and after playing with the testable display I decided to lay out the $9 for one to try it on the job. This nailset works better, faster, easier and more precisely than any other nailset I have used. Example: you've just run oak crown in a room with a 12' ceiling and have a few nailheads sticking up. Instead of wearing your full belt, pulling out your hammer and trying to find the right size Stanley nailset, skipping off the nailhead- you just take the nailmaster, flip to the desired end, pull back, and SNAP!A month later I bought about 10 of them for Christmas presents to my employees and clients...Then I lost mine! On a more recent trip to Electric Tool I bought myself 3 of the nailmaster type and one each of the chisel and punch and promptly tagged them with marking paint to prevent future loss.
Being a contractor who works in a broad range of trades, I would guess that I have about $45K in various power and hand tools including the likes of Bosch, Powermatic and Festool. Funny how the two favorite tools in my collection are a nailset and my folding dozuki ... cost of each <$25. Only improvements I could suggest are rubber grips in high visibility colors.

The quality of these tools leaves a lot to be desired. The handles are poorly made, and the fit-and-finish is "ok" at best. But, for the price, they're a good deal.

Review of PSI Woodworking LCBT4 4 Piece Bowl Turning Lathe Chisel Set

I'm just getting started turning bowls, and this set was a valuable addition to my collection of tools. The quality is high compared to the cost; the tools are well made, comfortable to use, and substantial. The box they come in is good for collecting shavings and sawdust. I hate to throw it away, but I don't have a whole lot of use for it.

The most important thing about gouges is keeping them sharp, and there are lots of ways to do that. I haven't used any high-end tools, so I can't compare these ones to them with regard to holding an edge, but I've been happy with these so far. They have sufficient mass for bowl turning, though, and I've been comfortable with the profiles they came with. The scrapers are similarly substantial, though with every bowl I turn I rely on them a little less.

I paid more for one bowl gouge at Woodcraft than I did for this set, and I feel that this set is of comparable quality (aside from the handles, which are more rudimentary). I recommend this set to the beginning bowl turner.
