Cheap chisels are CHEAP not GOOD. If your not willing to invest in good chisels be prepared to reinvest in some when you get some experience. Cheap chisels are made of lesser quality steel and often will not hold a sharp edge - so be prepared to sharpen often. Dull chisels are much more dangerous than sharp chisels - with dull blades you apply more force and often find yourself working twice as hard.
