Like these dovetails better?

BTW, I see those HF chisels.

They aren't anything beautiful, and the grinding on them is off kilter, at least on my set. But they work just fine.

I built my bench mostly with those, and used them a while. Replaced them with the Aldi set, which they don't sell anymore.

I think they are a better chisel than the HF ones, but it ain't really the tools, it's the guy using them. MHO.
