8 pieces for £65. Can't be bad, or can't be any good?

From what I can see they all have a tang so none of these would be any good for bowl work. Some of these would end up not getting used personally I would spend extra and get something like the Robert Sorby set which is a respected supplier and you know they will be used and last.

I certainly wouldn't like to try carving with them. Besides all else they are not HSS so not especially cheap.

They are stamped HSS in the linked photos?

Perhaps worth it if you are a spindle Turner only but need a bit of skill to put a decent shape on the gouges. I’d be tempted to buy 3x used main brand tools from Ebay than these 6 if it were my money.
