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 Crescent CC1H12 is a 1 by 12 inch chisel priced at $15.22 with a 4.8-star rating from 100 owners. That rating is the highest in this batch, and while 100 reviews is a smaller base than some rivals here, it clears the site quality floor and signals strong satisfaction.
The build pairs an alloy steel and metal body with a wood handle, a traditional combination that many users prefer for feel and control. The 1 by 12 inch size points to a longer single chisel suited to reaching into cuts and clearing material with a comfortable grip length.
At $15.22 it sits in the middle of the price range here, and the 4.8-star rating makes it the standout on quality. If you want one solid chisel rather than a set, this is a strong single-tool pick.

Performance notes
The 1 by 12 inch dimension makes this a longer single chisel, useful for reach and for a full hand grip on the wood handle. The alloy steel and metal body is built for edge work, and the wood handle suits hand pressure and lighter mallet use. No weight is listed, so heft is not confirmed in the data.
