Is the Flexcut Micro Palm Chisel Set worth it?

For fine detail carving, yes. The four tools cover the small gouges and V-tool most detail work needs, and they arrive sharp. It is a supplement to a larger set, not a replacement.

How does it compare with full-size Flexcut palm tools?

The micro blades are narrower and shorter, so they reach tighter spots with less risk of crushing nearby wood. Full-size palm tools remove more wood faster but are less precise in small details.

Are the handles replaceable?

No. These are fixed-handle tools, so a damaged handle means replacing the whole tool.

What comes in the box?

A #5 x 2.5 mm gouge, #9 x 1 mm gouge, #9 x 1.5 mm gouge and a 45° x 1 mm V-gouge, boxed and sharpened.

Do the chisels need sharpening before first use?

They ship sharp and ready to carve. Most carvers still strop them before a session and hone them regularly to keep the fine edges at their best.
