Editorial Reviews:

A must-have for hanging doors, this spring loaded corner chisel is more efficient than a hand chisel, and works quickly to ensure that corners are perfectly square. Compact enough to carry in your pocket, with a 3/8-inch cutter edge, this handy tool creates a 90 degree square corner when simply placed on any corner and tapped with a hammer. And because the Porter-Cable 42234 Corner Chisel self-aligns, accuracy is never an issue; you get the right fit every time with minimal maneuvering.

Summary: A good solid corner chisel that works.
Comment: This is what it is and does what it says. It is a good corner chisel that works very well. If I use it six times a year that is a lot, but when you need it, you are thankful for having it.

Summary: Seem to work . . just OK.
Comment: Is it me, or what? Once I router cut a door-hinge mortise using a Porter-Cable hinge mortise jig, I can't seem to get the Porter-Cable corner chisel far enough back in the corner of the router cut to get the edges lined-up. After I use the corner chisel, I still need to a wood chisel to take out a little more in order to make a perfect corner. It almost looks like I need to do a little grinding work on the corner chisel with the bench grinder to make it align properly.

Comment: You won't be disappointed. It is well designed, does not require instructions, and has few moving parts to break. Mine is still working after 2+ years. I haven't even had to sharpen it-yet. You won't find it at Harbor Freight. It is worth it. Just buy the dumb thing! Tom

Summary: What you see is what you get - it actually works!
Comment: I picked this chisel up because I have watched Norm Abram of 'The New Yankee Workshop' use one for years and it just looked too good to be true. It seemed so much faster and easier than using a regular chisel to clean up the corners after running a router in a jig, but in this case what you see is exactly what you get.
I have used this to install some hinges on a door as well as cleaning up the corners of some recessed jamb switches and it works just as I would expect. I can't speak for some others who claim they received one with a dull cutting edge, but in my case the edge was sharp enough to easily cut a person if they aren't careful.
This corner chisel isn't fancy by any means, but it does what is was designed to do, and it does it well. One simple hit from the hammer and the corner is cleaned up with a straight sharp corner and in rare occasions it may be necessary to lift up the chip with a straight chisel, but the hard part, and the crisp corner, is done.
One note to new users, depending upon the density of the wood and the depth of the cut they are looking for it might take a few tries to get a feel for how hard you need to strike this with a hammer.
The only negative I can see is that this is fairly small, so if you drop it into a tool pouch you might have to go digging for it later. Since this isn't a tool I use often, I have retained the factory packaging and just put it back into the plastic package after each use to keep it clean and make it easier to find.

Summary: Corner Chisel
Comment: This corner chisel worked very well. I use it for many things but the main reason for the corner chisel is I convert old wood window screens into windows by routing a rabbit for the new glass to go into but I need to square the corners. That is were the corner chisel comes in, it just takes seconds.
