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

Overview
The Robert 842XLH-1/2 is a wood chisel priced at $128.67 with a 4.6-star rating from 114 owners. It sits at the premium end of this batch, and the review base, while modest in count, is solid for a specialty tool at this price.
The spec listing is unusual. The body material is given as brass, the weight as 1.34 pounds, and the dimensions as 15 by 2.5 by 0.75 inches, which points to a long single chisel. No handle material is listed, so the grip construction cannot be confirmed from the data.
At $128.67 for one chisel, this is a deliberate buy for someone who wants a particular premium tool rather than broad coverage. The 4.6-star rating supports the quality case, but the high price and the brass material listing mean you should confirm the exact build details before committing.
