Very strong and reliable

Haven't used,however its look better.

As with any new chisel, you need to sharpen it and create a secondary bevel on the primary bevel. Manufacturers don't do this for you, so that you can select the angle.I noticed the 1/2" chisel had one edge bent upwards. The back of the chisel needs to be dead flat, especially near the cutting edge. I spent hours trying to flatten it, then polish it, and the result is in the picture. The bend at the corner was worse, but I managed to reduce it to this small area. Unfortunately, couldn't flatten it any more. Not worth the trouble.Just buy from a different company.

Backdrop:I do a lot of wooden & drilling work - where not just to size the wood, but also to trim the edges - I need a good chisel. I do have an old chisel - which wasn't being able to do justice to this lately. So, thought of getting a fresh one. Now, I knew that procuring it from local market will be cheaper (well - who needs a brand name for a chisel?). But after running through a few hardware stores - I could find that they sell the chisel & the chisel handle separately & more or less a standard 3/4 was costing me around Rs. 70 (with the plastic handle - which needs to be warmed & then you need to insert the chisel end to make it fit/attach). So, on a rough estimate - getting 3 chisels of varying width would cost me around Rs. 250, whereas this Stanley set was at Rs. 449 (i.e. roughly double the price).But I was not happy with the look & quality of the local store chisels & thought of giving this one a try - as I found it for a few bucks less on lightening deal.I started using the chisel today & here is what I found:* Good strong build* Ready to use off the packet* Cuts through woods/plastics - as if running a warm knife through butter (well, I may be exaggerating a bit, but after using my old chisel for long time, today's experience was really smooth)Summary:- If you are looking for chisel, look no further - get this!- I am taking away a star only for it's high price (I would have preferred a price tag of around Rs. 350/- max)- Otherwise - this is definitely a tool which will not let you down

Good quality. Sharp and hard.

Good

No value for the money and brand loyalty!!!Very cheap quality, bends when hanmerred while using even with a medium hit, thou only can work on very light jobs. Bought in 2021 for 469 but did not use it much till now when a good job came and depended on its branding and with 3 blades and now is increased to 569 simply when its not worth that much. Disappointed.
