    • I changed my mind!
Color: Gray
I CHANGED MY MIND! I originally gave this 2 stars because it lacks a depth adjustment. But since then I have studied a lot about using hand tools, and I learned about using a mallet or small hammer to adjust the depth on wood-body hand planes. That technique works perfectly here (at least for extending and straightening the blade with taps to the back of the iron)! I can dial this in to take a VERY fine cut and it works beautifully. The blade holds an edge reasonably well and I use it all the time. My favorite use so far is to clean the machining (jointer, planer, or table saw) marks off of the edge of a board. I've used it particularly for my homemade edge banding for plywood. I just set the depth of cut to barely take a paper-thin shaving and I can use this like an eraser to wipe away the little burn marks and ripples from the saw blade. I love it! That said, perhaps the 12-220 model is still a better choice. But I haven't used that, so I can't say for sure. But for the price I will happily give this 5 stars. Original review follows, just for reference: ------------------------------------------------ I was just getting into hand planes and decided to order a basic block plane to get me started. I saw this and the 12-220 and to my uneducated eyes they seemed to be basically the same thing. So I ordered this one as it was about $5 cheaper. BIG mistake. The 12-220 has a depth adjustment knob. This one doesn't. You have to loosen the blade/iron tension knob and manually set both the depth and angle, then tighten it again without messing up that adjustment. Spend the extra few bucks (actually as I'm writing this they are now the same price, within pennies) and get the better one. The sole needed to be flattened and the iron needed to be sharpened, but that should always be expected at this price. ... show more

    • Not amazing, but if you don't need it much, it gets the job done
Color: Gray
I had to plane off the lip of a countertop that hung too far down for a dishwasher. This got the job done without much hassle. I'd rather use my plug-in power planar any day of the week, but there wasn't enough room without removing the whole dishwasher. However, if you're trying to do some serious woodworking, I would spend the money on a better tool. Not to say that this tool feels cheaply made -- it's pretty solid metal. Just that I don't expect it to be as versatile as some of the better ones out there. But, at this price, I can't complain. Probably perfect for an occasional use, such as maybe a door that sticks. ... show more

    • Small, useful, and at a GREAT price!
Color: Gray
Great planer, great price. Used this little gem to get a set of french doors to open and close it was great! Smooth edge from the extremely sharp blade that comes with this device. Setting the depth is fairly easy - just make sure you don't try to take too much off at once, this is a SMALL planer - but that's the beauty of it! ... show more

    • How to USE and Set Up Very Important
Color: Gray
I received mine today and it was Red , not a Problem . Was surprised that it was all Cast Iron , shows me Quality . I do believe that it would cut right out of the Box . I like my Tools to be Oil free as not to Contaminate the Wood when using . After I cleaned it with Denatured Alcohol I used it on a Ceramic Stone just to fine tune it . Put it together adjusted it and used it on Walnut Wood . I think they call the sound of the Cut as ( Singing ) , and it did . I am an 88 yr. Old Wood Carver and now doing a few canes from Walnut , this little Plane does the Job. This Little Plane is NOT for Planing Doors , it's for Small Work , like breaking Edges and Narrow Pieces . After reading the Reviews I was expecting a Plane that I was going to need to return , not necessary . Read , Follow and Understand the Instruction . " Happy Woodcarver" ... show more

    • More decorative than useful
Color: Gray
Doesn't hold an edge for very long; the sole wasn't particularly flat; the mechanism for holding the blade in place only has one point of contact and doesn't particularly hold the blade in place very well under load, and it tends to move the blade when locking it down after an adjustment which makes adjusting the blade correctly be a difficult task. It is at least shaped like a block plane and it was cheap, but hard enough to use that I will be replacing it with a different model. ... show more

    • Waste of money
Color: Gray
Not smooth, difficult to set the blade depth, won’t stay in place, blade is soft and not sharp.

    • Decent plane - takes some time to adjust. Not for quality finish work.
Color: Gray
I need to use a plane about once every 5 years or so. Finally decided to trim a sticking wood door. Naturally I can't find my plane since no one will admit to ever seeing it much less using it. So now I need a replacement. Not going to go for an expensive every-day plane, but do want one that is half-way decent and will do the job. This one fits the bill, although i will say to set it up and keep it set is no small task. Those without patience will say it is downright aggravating. If this is you, go for a higher quality nore expensive (like 2X to 3X in price) plane. Me, I will put up with a bit of aggravation for the light work I do. ... show more

    • Excellent quality!
Color: Gray
This very affordable bock pane with low angle iron makes a great investment for planing end grain. The sole and body seem cleanly manufactured. Although I will need to clean up a few metal tags in the throat area. The blade is pretty close to being ready to use out of the box. A little honing and flattening the sole it all that are really needed. Next time, though, I will get the one with the adjustable throat. But this one still works as a nice small plane. ... show more
