Pro tip: Don't cheap out on chisels like I did

I grabbed a 5-pack of no-name chisels for $20 at a hardware store near Toledo last spring. After about 3 projects, the edges rolled over and I couldn't get a clean cut to save my life. Ended up dropping $80 on a set of Narex chisels anyway. Has anyone else had luck with a specific brand that holds an edge better?

Maybe it's just me but Narex are decent for the price, but they still need sharpening pretty often. I've had better luck with a set from Stanley that cost around $60 and hold an edge way longer than the Narex ones did.

Stanley holds up better, Narex is overrated for what you pay.
