Overview
Trend's C/CHISEL is a corner chisel, a small hand tool used to square off the rounded corners a router leaves behind when cutting hinge recesses, rather than a bench chisel for general woodworking.
The body is aluminum with a wood handle, and at 3.04 ounces and a Small size rating, it is built as a precision hand tool rather than something struck with a mallet. Trend built its name on router cutters and jigs, and this chisel is meant to pair with that routing work rather than stand alone.

Pros and cons

- Aluminum body with wood handle
- Not a general-purpose bench chisel
- Small size limits it to fine corner work
- No blade width specified in the listing
Performance notes
As a corner chisel, it works by hand pressure to pare the rounded corner square, not by mallet strikes, which is why the light aluminum and wood build suits the job rather than limiting it.
