396 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The TEKTON 66009 is a 1-inch metalworking chisel priced at $15.00 with a 4.6-star rating from 396 owners. That review volume is among the stronger counts in this batch and signals a tool with a real track record rather than a fresh listing.
The spec set is straightforward and well suited to the job. A high carbon steel body holds an edge for cutting and shearing metal, while the listed alloy steel handle and 1.3-pound weight give it enough mass to drive with a hammer. The single 1-inch size keeps it focused on general metalworking tasks.
At $15.00 it is one of the lower-priced single chisels here, and the high rating across nearly 400 reviews makes it a low-risk pick. The trade-off is simple scope: you get one size, not a range.

Performance notes
The 1-inch high carbon steel cutting edge is built for shearing, cutting, and cleaning up metal, and the 1.3-pound weight gives enough heft to transfer hammer force. The alloy steel handle is rated to take repeated striking. As a single-size tool, it covers general 1-inch work rather than detail or graduated cuts.
