Good value for the price Dec 12, 2000

This is the only inexpensive block plane I have seen with good lateral and depth adjustment. While there are several cheaper planes on the market...those generally do not permit fine adjustment of the blade once it has been tightened into place.
This plane does not have an adjustable mouth. But that feature more than doubles the price, and not everyone needs it.

Poor quality Jul 05, 2003
By asgsgqae This is the worst excuse for a block plane. I would rate it zero star but 1 is the lowest. It has a cheap pot metal cast body which I think is made from a zinc and aluminum mix. The weight of the tool is too light for smooth planing, any experienced woodworker knows that a heavier plane tends to control chattering resulting in smoother cuts. If you try to flatten the sole the pot metals quickly clogs the stone or sandpaper. After awhile even when the sole has been flatten, it starts to bow back. The best use for this tool is a door wedge assuming that you remove the front knob.
