This is the Middle sized set, purchased early 2006, including the extension handle

SEE REPORT BELOW THIS PICTURE

I must admit that I borrowed a set of these hollowing tools from Joe at Bullwood Project before actually buying my own set

When I did decide to purchase my own set the Tools arrive with a molded covering on the cutting edges and well packed, I opted for the middle sized set because I figured maybe the large would be too much for everyday stuff and the small too light.

Having used them a fair bit now for small and medium hollowing I have found them to be almost the best thing since slice bread.

1.  The edge keeping qualities are great, NEVER put them near a grindstone, just flatten the burr across the top with a diamond stone    and then a few rubs up the side to the top with the same stone and you have a great edge.

2.  The cut with these things is very smooth and because of the size of the tips I found them easy to control.

3.  The three different shapes are very useful and the undercut capabilities are good.

4.  The handle is possibly a bit too chunky and a little heavy to hold for a great length of time but it does add balance.

5.  The only downside to the handle extension is that when attached the grub screws protrude way too much but that's a small price to pay.

Over all I found these hollowing tools are very good and robust, unlike many tools I've bought I certainly have no reservation in recommending these to anyone and in fact I know of three people who based on that have gone out and purchased them, all of them have said they were worth the money.
