Title: Effective and a real time saver
Review: Faced with 96 rounded mortises to square, I purchased this chisel in the hopes that it would be easy to use, quick, and effective. It was all three. The price is a bit on the high side, but considering the additional time it would take to manually square these mortises with a regular chisel, I thought it was worth it. My only complaint is that orienting the chisel precisely in the rounded corner is not foolproof, sometimes resulting in corners that are not quite square. You have to eyeball the chisel in relation to the existing mortise to correctly position it vertically and horizontally before striking it. The chisel housing should be molded in a way that makes it a no-brainer to firmly register both sides of it against the existing mortise to guarantee perfect 90-degree corners. But if you take your time and make sure the chisel is positioned correctly before striking it, this little tool will save you a lot of time and give you perfectly squared mortises.
