Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable 42234 Corner Chisel
Customer Review: Get the made-in-USA version
Summary: 2 Stars
It appears to be difficult to find a reasonably sharp corner chisel. The Porter Cable corner chisel is the same generic, Chinese-made corner chisel that everyone sells. Sometimes they're sharp, sometimes they're dull. More than likely, you'll get one somewhere in between.
Rather than gamble on getting a sharp Chinese-made corner chisel, why not buy a corner chisel that you can count on to be sharp: the Whiteside 9600 Corner Chisel (WHITESIDE MACHINE 9600 SQUARE CORNER CHISEL W/ 3/8 SQUARE HARDENED STEEL CUTTING BLADE).
I went through several Chinese-made corner chisels and butchered many test pieces before I discovered the Whiteside 9600. Although it looks just like the Chinese version, the 9600 is made in the USA by Whiteside Machine Company. It's extremely sharp, costs the same as the Chinese version, and is available on Amazon. Seems like a no-brainer.
Description of Porter-Cable 42234 Corner Chisel
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.Jigs & Templates Tools
