Review on PORTER CABLE 42234 Corner Chisel by Ryan Pollock

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Needs some tweaking to work as promised

It has an amazing feature and yes it's accurate but it's not out of the box. Some adjustment is required for normal operation. The spring is too strong so it hardly springs back. Just cut the spring a bit to reduce rebound and you're good to go. Sharp edge, it's not quite sharp I think because it's not properly sharpened. Sharpened from the outside in. Turns out it's not such an even cut that you have to grind with a chisel. We can solve the problem by resharpening it with diamond files. Just pull it inside out and follow the corner of the square chisel. The bottom line is that this product doesn't come out of the box, needs some tweaking and works as promised. Almost fair for the price. But the question remains: Why couldn't Porter and Cable just make the right product?
