Review: If I lost, it I would buy the same one again - I am a professional handyman and I find using a hand chisel to square the router made radius type corners to be a minor annoyance. Simply put; this tool does what it is designed to do and it does it well. I've only used it on a few doors but I think it is built to last and has a little more design to it that one would think at first glance or even after using it a couple of times. I actually found myself turning the thing up side down and looking at how it works; it's cool, it works, it's built to last and the price is right...buy it; I think you will like it.
Review: It the best corner chisel I've used - This is an amazingly simple tool that performs its intended task almost flawlessly. It the best corner chisel I've used, mainly because it's about 1/4" smaller than the aluminum versions you see at rockler and online. So you are able to use it to square up smaller mortises found on the door side of lock hardware. Made in Taiwan, which is good in my book. Get one, you won't regret it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Corner chisel works great
*by P***L on February 2, 2003*

After reading mixed reviews of the corner chisel I ordered one anyway. I am a contractor specializing in finish work and it seems like most of the door hardware I use lately is square cornered. The tool works good at cutting and it usually removes the chips at the same time. Sometimes you just have to lift the chips out of the corner after they are cut. The only drawback that I found was the striking surface is rounded and can cause the hammer so slip off after hitting it. But the corner gets chipped out anyway, (I just hit it with the flat side of my hammer). If I was doing production work I would probably modify it to give it a little bigger footprint for more stability, and a longer body for better grip, and a longer stike to keep the hammer away from your hand. Overall, for a pocket tool, it is well worth the cost. I wish that I had ordered one years ago.
