The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Mayhew 10602 is a single chisel measuring 3/4 by 7 inches, with an alloy steel handle, priced at just $8.97. The body material is listed simply as metal.
It holds a 4.5-star rating, the lowest of the Mayhew chisels in this group but still well above our floor, across a large base of 572 reviews. The short 7-inch length suits close, controlled work rather than long reach.
The listed weight of 0.04 pounds looks unusually low for a steel chisel, so treat that figure with some caution and confirm on the product page. Otherwise the size and handle material are clearly documented.

Performance notes
The 3/4 by 7-inch size points to a short chisel for close work rather than long reach, with an alloy steel handle to take hammer strikes. The body is listed only as metal, and the 0.04-pound weight is suspiciously light for the size, so verify the exact figure before relying on it.
