They work well for me and hold an edge well.. and they're inexpensive enough

I have the BB set of Bowl gouges, ground into a shallow, short grind,
just for finish work. But I also use BB and the red-handle HF chisels to
play with different grinds. So much better to use up a $20 chisel on
learning what grind to use then a $100 chisel

I've been using their bowl set for a couple of years but when they lowered the
price I ordered three 5/8" bowl gouges and a 1" roughing gouge..
Besides liking to have a lineup of sharp tools so I don't make as many trips to
the grinder or have to change setups on the true grind as often, I have folks
come over to learn turning..
I used to start them out on the HF chisels but found that that learn better with
a heavier chisel... The BB have a lot more steel in them than the thinner,
lighter HF ones.. YMWV
