 Great chisels, great price June 12, 2010
K. M. Biasillo (Indianapolis, IN)
I really like these chisels. would be nice if they had longer handles but that would be the only negative comment I would have. I like these so much I have added a set if inboard and outboard scrapers (very nice long handles and big blades) as well as a mini hollowing set for my hollow forms and received just today my BB square nose chisel. I have yet to get a crappy box or crappy chisel. 4 different orders of add ons and not so much as a loose handle or anything. you WILL need to sharpen these before you use them however, they are coated and not super sharp. I tried using a scraper straight out and thought it was very sluggish... threw it on the grinder and DANG! that sucker was flipping some curls. so obviously I really like these and recommend all BB chisels. get them today! I have successfully turns pens, bottle stoppers, a vase and my personal favorite bowls with these. no problem.
Good for the money May 20, 2010
L. Ballard (Utah)
The only complaint I have is that they don't hold their edge as well as others I've used. Could be my sharpening. Otherwise they perform well. This type of tool is only as good as the user.
Experienced Turner Gives High Rating May 11, 2010

I occasionally mentor novice turners and so bought all sets of the Benjamin's Best tools--four of the penturner's set. As I sharpen and test these tools to get them ready for use, I find that, in many cases, the quality of the steel compares favorably with steel costing up to four times as much, and it's the steel you're after, not the handle or the case! (The most expensive tools come indiviually packaged in a plastic sheath and many of them are unhandled.) If the B. B. handles come loose bang the end opposite the ferule down on a hard surface. If the handle cracks make a new one out of a $2.00 piece of ash (or a hardwood stick out of your woodpile). You can shine the metal with 0000 steel wool or crocus cloth if you are worried about appearances. Some have said they have to sharpen the B. B. tools often. So do we all! Experienced turners working on hard wood sharpen their tools (even the expensive ones) several times an hour (I said sharpen, not grind) because dull tools don't perform. Keep these babies sharp and clean and they will serve as well as Sheffield steel for almost as long. Happy turning!
Very Pleased May 6, 2010

I am new to the world of turning but, after sharpening, I have been very pleased with the quality of these tools.
NOT IN STOCK May 5, 2010
B. Spargo (NH USA)
Amazon claims this is "In Stock"
I have received 3 delays on the shipment so far and am completely losing my trust in Amazon's claim of "In Stock" status for any items! Ridiculous... Did the MFG stop making these or what? I am still keeping my order since I don't have any urgent turning projects that I'm waiting to be able to do with the tools, but it I do find it crazy that this product has a status of "In Stock" when it is obviously not true. Amazon - get your act together on this!
