  1. Sarah Sidwell

    Bought for husband. Looks & perfoms well. Excellent for the price.

  2. Amazon Customer

    Have been using this for a few weeks and it seems a great plane for the price.The base is perfectly true, the irons (it comes with a spare) hold a good edge, and it is easy to adjust the iron.Needed a little work out of the box to get it as I like it – the handle was a little rough, there were some sharp corners to the base, and the irons were blunt straight out of the box, but for the price I expected that and after a little attention the plane works great.

    Brilliant

    I am not sure what sheerness and thickness as above mean in the context of this hand plane. I wanted a plane to replace the one I have and having looked at the reviews of planes on Amazon I realised I was more of a novice than I already thought. After looking at the various reviews I decided on the Draper expert and it arrived quickly and well packaged. I was in a bit of a hurry with a DIY project so used the plane from the box with minimal adjustment and it worked fine for the piece of wood I wanted to reduce in thickness. I was very happy with the plane after this first use and I got what I wanted done. Now at a more leisured pace I can look again at the video suggested in the reviews and see if further adjustment is needed. Having already got a plane some 60 or so years of age I can see that materials now might not be what they once were but I am happy with this hand plane , it does the job and I think it is reasonable for the price and is a worthwhile purchase. My fears when I placed the order were groundless.

    Well made , perfect for job.

  6. Alan Edward Stoker

    Good quality tool, easy to use in the right hands

  7. ANDY

    Once initialised and sharpened could not fault it. Don’t really know why it specifically mentions Beech Wood as it worked fine on a number of woods. Hard and soft. Though i am only a DIY user so probably don’t understand the intricacies. Seems well made and sturdy and easy to use once set up.

    Just received it and used for the first jobLiked it, did the job and sharp as a swordFull review to follow after I have used for longer

  9. Ella67

    This is very well made and strong should last a long time not at all flimsy . almost like they used to make them!

    A quality plane that is comfortable to use and produces nice, fine shavings after the usual sharpening. Mine had a slight ledge on the chip breaker where it meets the plane iron. This needed exact flattening to remove the ledge and ensure the chip breaker smoothly meets the iron – a matter of 10 minutes on the diamond stone that made a huge difference to the plane. All adjustments work well. The handles are made from nice hardwood and feel good in the hand. I cannot fault this plane and it is excellent value for money.
