 Better than expected.... Very pleased.Oct 02, 2006

I ordered this set several weeks back while it was on backorder. Found another set locally for about half the price, but it was of extremely low quality, and I was concerned that the Jet set would be of similar sub-standard construction.
The Jet tools arrived and they are great. There's a sticker on the box that says made in Sheffield, England, and the red box looks suspiciously like the red box on my set of full-sized Sorby tools. Come to think of it, The handles look an awful lot like the Sorby's too. The same set from Sorby goes for about $120 retail.
A little bit of honing, and they went to work. Nice balance.. a pleasure to work with.

Nice ToolsApr 13, 2007
By Landon L. Smith
For pen turners and similar you can't beat these tools. They are not good for large turnings and were not designed to be. The are totally awesome for detail work on large pieces but not for intial work. The Quality and Value are Great.

Nice Sheffield-Made ToolsDec 27, 2006
By L. halbritter
These are great little tools and, I am told, these are made by Crown Tools in UK. These are comparable to Sorby and Henry Taylor tools. Excellent quality and worth the price.

No problems with these toolsAug 27, 2007

First mini lathe tools I have ever owned. They are working superbly. I don't know what else to say about them. I would buy more of the Jet lathe tools if I need any. To give you a reference I am turning pens.

 not worth the moneyMar 11, 2007
By hobby turner
I have turned quite a bit and have always used full sized tools. There were a few times when I needed to reach into a small space, so I ended up purchasing the mini tools. I have almost all Jet tools (lathe, table saw, band saw, sanders, etc.), so I didn't have any issues purchasing the Jet mini tools. After using them a few times, I would have to say that they are nice "toys" at best. I have used the parting tool and the skew most and the other tools are to flimsy to do anything with. I have ended up using a sharpened screwdriver for hard to reach places with much better results. Spend your money on some cheap screwdrivers and save the other $40 bucks for something else.
