I have always used a air chisel with a wedge bit . Works like a charm. But I could see where this would be helpful in a tight space.

If anything it makes for a clean job. Usually chisel, air hammer, or screw drivers leaves big gashes or marks. Makes it look more professional for sure 👍 gonna have to get me one

I had to read dozens of comments,just to find out what it was. At 1st I thought he would attach it so than he could have this part be used as a ledge to hammer away, but than I noticed he hammered on the other side. Again, I highly doubt this comes in handy. Chisel point between the slot and 2 or 3 bangs gets its done.
