It is there when you need it
48 mm chisel is not an item which you can regularly use. and you cant find it easyly. But it is most convenient to have it when need arises. Shinwa 48 mm chisel is the only one I use and ever used. Therefore I cant make any comparision. But like all the Shinva chisels its short lenght and good material makes it a pleasure to use.
