Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
If you're a carpenter, you probably have one of these in your bag. If you're not a carpenter, you should know that even in this age of all sorts of sophisticated power tools, there's no replacement for a quality block plane. There's no other tool that will shape and smooth wood as effortlessly and as accurately. For the price of a cheap, throwaway power tool, this is a precision tool that with care will outlast more than one owner. You can spend more, but the Stanley has all the necessary features- a decent blade, an adjustible throat and solid steel and brass parts. With a little tuning (a half hour's work with some sandpaper and a sheet of plate glass) it'll cut as well as the fancy $250 planes. For most woodworkers it's probably the only hand plane they'll ever need.
