What do people think of these.
I`ll be using them mainly for joints.

Anybody else got any othere ones?

You normally get what you pay for. The exception would be old chisels at a car boot sale. The would look rough, but with some aggressive cleaning they would give you a pleasant surprise.

What sort of joints? mortices normally need a mortice chisel.

For bevel edge you can't go far wrong with a set of LIDL's cheapies - believe it or not they hold an edge better than the Screwed-Fixed cheapies. I use mine for site work where I'm less fussed if someone nicks a £7 set that if some of my old Stanleys were to go walkies. For mortices you can get old-style "pig stickers" pretty cheap so long as you don't mind a harlequin set - normally 1/4in, 3/8in, 1/2in and 5/8in will do the trick with door lock mortices perhaps needing a 3/4in in addition. Can be found for £4 to £8 a piece
