Default Corner Chisel for routed hinge mortises

Anyone here use the Lee Valley magnetic corner chisel for squaring up
hinge mortises that you've routed? Or any corner chisel, for that
matter. I was cleaning up a bunch today and was thinking that one
might be quicker - and cleaner. Any thoughts?

Dunno, imagine it might be about the same as any other trim job, as good as
your placement of the tool.

I just use a bench knife like the one midpage here.

For small hinges, one, two and underneath too, though where the reach is
insufficient to do so, two cuts and a pare with a chisel works.
