 Quality tools at a discounted priceSep 19, 2005
By Bobby Stanley
I recently purchased this set of tools from Amazon/Grizzly Tools. I wished they qualified for Free Shipping. They arrived about 3 days after ordering via UPS. They arrived in perfect condition, packed completely in shipping peanuts. This set offers 6 tools that you need for turning. I compared prices from stores and online stores. This kit is about $110 cheaper than my local woodworking store. (I purchased the set for $179.) I have turned several things using these tools and have been very pleased. The HSS (High Speed Steel) used is of excellent quality. Two of the handles are longer than the others. All tools are solid and well balanced. I had an email confirmation from Grizzly once they had received the order. I think you will be very pleased if you purchase this set.

Excellent tools at a great price.Sep 07, 2005
By Ryan S. Felber
I am new to turning and have bought into the Sorby hype. These are really nice tools at a really good price. They feel good in your hands and the HSS really holds an edge. I have heard that any HSS tool out of Sheffield England is pretty much the same and that you pay more for the Sorby name, but 6 essential tools for $180 seems like a good price to me.

Wrong PictureMar 03, 2010
By Robert Shiely
I don't have a comment on the quality of this set, but I do note that the tools shown in the picture are clearly carving tools, not turning tools. I'll give it 4 stars just because in my experience with Sorby tools are first rate, and I can't leave a comment without a rating.

 Grizzly=JunkMay 03, 2006
By Dr. Peter G. Bradt
This is the third item I purchased from Grizzly and all turned out to be JUNK. This set of tools is no exception: they are not the standard Sorby tools that are listed, but a short light weight version of same. Grizzly ripped me off for $42.00 ("re-stocking" charges and grossly overpriced shipping)to look at these overrated weed diggers and they took 3 weeks to credit my credit card after numerous requests. Amazon should dump Grizzly and you do business with them at your peril.
