There seem to be a lot of experienced hand chisel users so I thought I'd ask here.
I came into this set of Heinrich Bracht chisels for short money because they looked like the Two Cherries brand. A little internet trolling makes me think they were made in the same factory if that makes any difference.
My question is does anyone out there have any hands-on experience with these?
Sure, I did internet due diligence and found lots of speculative conversation as one does on the internet, but that's not what I'm looking for.
This set is metric so there's that petty annoyance, but if the steel is good, that's not a deal breaker and I'll put these into service. The steel now is covered with a heavy lacquer type finish to inhibit rust so getting that stuff off may not be worth it if these chisels are little better than department store house brand chisels. They look well made.
