The quality of these tools leaves a lot to be desired. The handles are poorly made, and the fit-and-finish is "ok" at best. But, for the price, they're a good deal. I don't use the tools as they come from the factory. The tips are poorly ground. So I immediately regrind them, to profiles that I find more usable.

These tools are awesome for the price. I turn plastics, mainly PVC and nylon. The quality is very good, and so far I see no downsides to these tools. I don't know how long the blades will last without sharpening, as I have only had them a couple days, but so far with the tools I have chosen to use, the blades are standing up well. I would not hesitate to recommend these tools to anyone who is interested in cutting plastics. I have no experience with wood, and therefore cannot review these tools for use on wood.

this is my first micro set and I like them. As a beginner I can use them rather well and do small cuts I am a beginner so I will not talk about what I don't know I.E. technical specs. I bought these and a small lath because I wanted to try turning and I have been using these for about 6 months and they work, in my eyes they work well did not want to spent a ton of money you can pay hundreds for one chisel and I am sure they will work totally different but for this price I got my moneys worth really.

Great tools for small turning projects, I build duck call barrels and these were a nice addition to my tool chest.

Pruduct arrived as expexted, FAST through Amazon Prime.

in clean wooden box that holds the chisels nicely. they are plenty sharp to begin working with out of the box, and they cut with the same steel found in more expensive tools.

They will dull fast if using on hard wood, as will all I have found.

PSI is a quality economy tool, made overseas, as are most, but put together solidly. I have and will contunue to buy their products.

I am new to turning and purchased this inexpensive set to try simple projects. i have made a couple of items and the set performs as expected based on the price. The small gouge did bend the first time it touched wood. It could have been rookie error but think it is the quality. I will be investigating other products soon.

Over all, the tools work great. They would be even better if the blades and handles were a little longer - sometimes I get a little nervous working that close to a turning. A couple of more inches on both ends would definitely help.
