May 24, 20197 yr Popular Post Well that say the imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Once again another manufacturer is trying to pull us away from the best carbide tools on the market. Checking their tool specifications will reveal that their tools don't measure up to those from Easy Wood Tools. Don't be fooled, buy the best! contact @Jim from Easy Wood Tools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 24, 20197 yr Popular Post Woodpeckers is a good company. They promote USA made products, many of which they make in their own factory. I have many of their tools, the one-time-tools as well as the ones they offer as a regular purchase. Having said that, I agree with Lew, and stick with EWT for my carbide insert tools. Buying from another manufacturer who is just piggy-backing on the popularity and excellence of EWT is like buying a purse made at "Joe's Purse Works" that has a Gucci label on it. Not that I buy purses, just saying.

May 25, 20197 yr Popular Post Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. And, competition is always good. As far as Woodpecker tools are concerned, I have an aversion to red tools...well, red saw blades, anyhow.
May 26, 20197 yr Going to momentary hijack the thread. I have only a set of Great Neck chisels. They seem to be pretty good, but I am quiet sure that they are an entry level set of tools. They do hold an edge well and HSS. Any opinions on an old American made product? Just asking. I can't find anything about them.

May 26, 20197 yr Great Neck and HF are not even in the running as far as turning tools are concerned. Top traditional gouges and skews come from Thompson, Sorby, Crown, Dway, Carter. For Carbide it depends on what finish you want on the piece. The best finish comes off of Hunter tools. Easy Wood is very well backed and is second in finish quality. Not trying to do a put down but this is my experience. By the way I do have a HF set which I use to shape and make one of tools. Edited May 26, 20197 yr by Gerald

But for generic work around the house, yeah they fit the bill. I have some Sorby ones that have held up well. Gave a no name set away to someone here few month ago. Something is better than nothing, and they were kept sharp.

I don't miss the best because I never got to try one. If I did it would mean I need to spend more money for sure. So... Who's going to lend me one to try?
