Review on PORTER CABLE 42234 Corner Chisel by Jimmy Franklin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Angle chisel works great

After reading conflicting reviews about the angle chisel I ordered it anyway. I'm a decorating contractor and it seems like most of the door hardware I've used lately has square corners. The tool performs well when cutting and usually removes chips at the same time. Sometimes you just need to get the chips out of the corner after they've been cut. The only downside I found was that the striking face is rounded and can cause the hammer to slip off after the hit. But the corner is still chipped (I just hit it with the flat of a hammer). If I was in production I would probably modify it to increase the footprint for more stability, lengthen the body for a better grip, and lengthen the stroke to keep the hammer out of my hand. In general, for a pocket tool, it's worth the money. Too bad I ordered a year ago.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Update available
