I can't confirm that but the pics from Sears are the 150 series and the pic from TS says "70" on the 1/4 chisel

when you blow both pics up there is a noticable difference in product quality, the sears ones, at least from the pics look higher end

same product, i.e. the 150 series is selling for $70 plus on ebay

I believe the part numbers starting with 150 are the high end line. Can someone confirm this?

Well that is a special 150th Anniversary set, so I'd assume that is where the 150 comes from. Doesn't seem like it's a "series" or tier to me. I would imagine, however, that their Anniversary set is a higher quality set.

yes it is a series from their product catalogue


150 line....

"high grade S-2 steel for superior tensile strength, toughness and long life

full shank heat treat...etc."

looking at the catalogue, it seems the TS ones are the "cold chisel" line

definitely lower quality



see page 4 vs. page 11

Not good reviews, but one reviewer seems to think they are Craftsman punches, so maybe that one was posted on the wrong item?

the review you are referencing is for the pin punches not the chisels and ya it seems kinda weird as it mentions craftsman


there are NO reviews on the chisel set

Okay. I'll bite.

Enrolled in the 90 day free shipping with Shop Your Way Max. Then applied a couple bucks of points I had. Doesn't look like you can use coupon codes on "Closeout" deals.

$22 bucks to my door. From the little bit of web research I did, the 150 line is the high end line, and some people think the Snap-on is a re-badged 150 Mayhew line. So I'm taking the chance. Either way, even if it is not the top of the line, and more middle of the line, for 22 bucks for a 5 piece set, I figure I can't go wrong. The shipping says they will be here next Tuesday, so I'll post some pics when the get here. Also, on the web it looks like it is suppose to come in nice leather pouch, so I'll see if that happens when they get here on Tuesday.

Yes, I knew they were for the pin punches (I quoted the link). But those punches are the same series as the chisels.

I ordered a set of the chisels and I'm still thinking about the punches. The picture of the punches is of the 150 series, but I couldn't find the model number online. The comments referring to the craftsman set is weird, I agree.

As far as I can tell, these are the punches:

http://www.amazon.com/Mayhew-15006-150-Line-Leather-5-Piece/dp/B001EVNE7A/ref=sr_1_26?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1378420757&sr=1-26&keywords=mayhew+pro+150

I'm also thinking about the punches... Not as good of a percentage off as the chisels, but still might be a great deal.

Is this a good deal for someone who doesn't have any chisels?

HUGE thanks to the OP, here they are....







And just to make it fun, here is the 1/2" 150 Mayhew next to a Snap On 1/2. Not EXACTLY the same, but DAMN close....

Just got mine. Very nice! The pouch is real leather and the chisels seem to be top end on the quality scale. CCO - USA.

Anyone order the Mayhew punches? I was tempted but have held off so far. If they also come in the leather pouch I may have to reconsider.

Dang those look nice. If they work as nice as they look I'm sad to have say this one out.

Congrats to those who bought them.
