Overview
The TEKTON 66009 is a 1 inch chisel built from high carbon steel with an alloy steel handle, weighing 1.3 pounds. The all metal construction, handle included, points to a forged chisel meant for cutting metal, masonry or rivets rather than a wood chisel with a wooden or plastic grip.
A steel handle instead of wood or plastic is the giveaway here: this is built to take direct hammer blows for cutting through metal stock, bolts or masonry, not for the finer paring work a wood chisel handles. High carbon steel holds an edge under that kind of impact, and the 1 inch size covers a middle ground between fine detail and heavy cutting.

Who it's for
Fits anyone cutting or shearing metal, masonry or rivets who needs a chisel built to take direct hammer strikes. Not the right tool for fine woodworking, where a wood handled paring or bench chisel is the better choice.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
The high carbon steel body paired with an alloy steel handle means the whole tool is built to absorb repeated hammer strikes without cracking, unlike wood handled chisels that can split under heavy blows. At 1.3 pounds it has enough mass to transfer force efficiently, and the 4.6 rating across 396 reviews backs up its durability under that kind of use.
