To top it all off, the packaging was for a set of plastic-handled chisels. The brass rings were rusting, and they didn't seem to line up right with the handle. I went out to Lowes and got myself a set of stanleys that aren't great but they are a whole lot better than these, and cheaper too. The chisels I recieved were the worst looking tools I have seen in a while. The handles looked like they had been rushed through production, there were rough edges that needed sanding and the stamped name was smeared. It is obvious to me that whoever makes these chisels doesn't care at all about their product, so back to Amazon this one goes thanks for wasting my time Footprint. The business end of the chisels looked awful, I only took out one chisel for inspection and that one had a small chip in the cutting edge.

Made very well, I used them to cut dovetails in curly maple with no problems. Also these are made in England not in China like the Irwin Marples. They held their edge well.

I first ordered the set but had to switch to getting them one at a time when the set was out of stock. Wood handles are a little square so they don't roll away and they really took a beating. Blades are thin enough to fit into the corners of the dovetails. Just cut a bunch of half blind dovetails in cherry with these. They were easy to sharpen (backs were nice and flat) and stayed sharp. Would somebody please ask them to make one in 1/8 inch. They're also comfortable to hold.
