I was looking for a chisel so that i could hang a few doors and came across these at half price. They get very good reviews and I think they are excellent value for money for general diy'er

shouldve forged them at the skyforge in winterfell
You don't need to spend too much on chisels.
The cheaper ones need to be sharpened and then they're as good, if not better than the expensive chisels.
Look at lidl chisels after sharpening
Its down to the steel. The lidl ones and these are surprisingly good steel and can be sharpend well and keep an edge. Ive used both
The vast majority of cheap chisels are made from rubbish steel ive handled some like butter.. The above are fine worth the money

I bought and used these recently for knocking tiles off a bathroom wall at this price, made life easy as most walls plasterboard was unable to use my SDS Chisel bit :disappointed:
Not sure on the sharpness someone has mentioned though mine are still perfect for chiseling away some wood if needed, not sure they would be used by a professional chippy but still great for some DIY.

sorry but these are junk. I bought a set and there is no edge on them. You need to sharpen them, and if you hit a knot in wood, resharpen. they are basically dangerous screwdrivers.
