Comment: good quality. this plane is perfect for shaving down the tops of doors that are sticking.

Summary: Great wood plane
Comment: fantastic quality wood plane. Don't buy a cheap one. You will regret it and it will cost you in labor hours later.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A very good value for the money.
Comment: This plane is a very good value for the money. It is NOT a hand-crafted, artisan-quality plane, like a Lie-Nielsen, but, then again, it doesn't cost a couple of hundred dollars, either. In my view, I got a lot for the money I spent on it.
Many of the other reviews say that you'll need to do considerable tuning work before it can be used. That wasn't my experience. I found it to be fully functional right out of the package. All I had to do was fiddle with the adjustments a little to correct the jostling it got in shipping, and it worked very well.
I did take it apart and tune the blade by honing the bevel and flattening the back. It gives me a very long, clean shaving on most woods, but, in reality, it did almost as well before the tuning.
In summary, I think I got all that I paid for-- and a lot more. I can't complain a bit. I'm happy I bought it, and I'd do so again without hesitation.

Summary: Junk
Comment: One of the reviewer said, "You get what you pay for". In this case I am sure you don't even get that. Stamped parts, and very soft metal make this plane useless junk. After more than an hour of tuning and sharpening, the blade edge just folded over on soft fir end grain. Take some time to find an old plane at a yard sale. I gave it one star because the Amazon rating system requires at least that.

Summary: Stanley 12-960 low angle plane
Comment: I am not giving my age away but some of the tools I have purchased new and still use are now listed as antiques. I receiently purchased a low angle Stanley block plane to replace one that disappeared from my shop. I am not sure what country Stanley of England is importing them from but the quality is not the same as the original Stanley tools. The sole looks like it was hand ground with a 30 grit belt sander and the low quality steel blade was not ground at 20 degrees. The adjusting levers are made of poor fitting soft stamped metal. But the shiny brass colored knobs look good.
