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.
