Like, Gimp, my frist set was the 8pc set from Harbor Freight. I still
use them for spindle work and they are holdiing up well (had then about
7/8 years)

In my case, the HF HSS tools were my second set. The first were not HSS.
I don't know what grade the HF tools are but I can testify that they held
an edge longer than carbon tool steel.

For the original poster, here's the link to the set:

The handles definitely look better than the ones on the set I bought :-).
