I bought this chisel and bit as part of a four piece set and have been happily using it for nearly five years now. I have read in many places that inexpensive chisel and bit sets like this one provide inferior cuts and can dull quickly. That has not been my experience at all. With an accurate setup, I have used this tool to cut perfect mortises in red oak, quartersawn white oak, white pine, and southern yellow pine with no problems whatsoever. Granted, the chisels do get hot during extended use and I am dilligent about letting them cool if they are about to overheat - but I could not be happier with the performance of this set. At this price and with that quality, you cannot go wrong!
