WheelTapper –
It’s a Stanley, so it works, it’s stable, it’s reliable.Having spent 20GBP on a cheap “Pound Shop” own brand plane, ones sees where the extra money goes on a quality product from a quality manufacturer. And one does not regret it. My “cheap” plane is now wedging the workshop door open (it’s about all it’s any use for.)There’s an old adage “buy cheap, buy twice” – at least when it comes to tools. Lesson learned.Hand plane obsessives and/or collectors will no doubt opine that the totes are plastic and not wood, and this and that are some micrometers too big/small, the quality of the cutting iron , etc. – but for an average “handyman” (or woman or non gendered specific individual,) this just gets the job done.Like all planes (and cutting tools generally,) even “new” it will benefit from a bit of “setting up” – e.g. lap the base, soften/bevel the edged, sharpen the iron, check everything is lubricated – I also like to sand down the mould seems on the totes for extra comfort – but once done it’s a joy to use. For newbies, there’s plenty of YouTube vids showing how to set up a plane.

I bought this plane knowing it isn’t top of the range but it was at the limit of my price range! I’m not disappointed and am really enjoying using it. It is well made, solid and good quality. I’m a novice plane-user and felt a little daunted by it, as I’d read negative reviews which said how long it took to set up.I think the key is, accept you need to spend a good bit of time setting it up before use, but enjoy learning about it too.Firstly the blade needs honing from 25° to 30°. And to do that you’ll need to learn all components. Instructions are OK, but not ideal. So I checked out Matt Estleas YouTube channel, one of his videos titled “how to get silky smooth shavings from a plane”. He has in fact 7 videos on settings up planes. He explains everything brilliantly and now my plane is set up perfectly❤️ It took a couple of hours perhaps but they were well spent and very pleasant!

The media could not be loaded. This is an affordable plane , blade needs sharpening. I really have no negative comments. After setup ,I tried it on oak and it performed beyond my expectations… see video attached

Just to say that this is the genuine article.

The hand plane was delivered in line with that advised.After many years of service my Stanley 2 inch plane was in need of replacement and the quality of the new Stanley plane more than meets my expectations.

This was brought for my husband. He was very pleased with plane and thought it was good value for the price.This seller was top marks for me. Fast trouble free buy. Would buy off him again.
Jacob Sladder –
Toyed with the idea of an electric plane, but reviews so good for this product, and I remember my dad having a quality plane, that I chose this. Please I did. Solid, easy to adjust, nice cut and so much more tactile than an electric.Horses for courses, and I might sway to the dark side in the future for a door bottom, but for delicate jobs and thosse where I want greater control on what I’m doing this fits the bill for all budding joiners

Arrived next day on prime.Nicely made and finished as what you would expect from Stanley.The main grip is of course composite plastic and not wooden so the the feel and grip is slightly compromised but I knew if would be. I will used it only occasionally so I’m happy with that. Ive tried it out and it performs as I would expect.

Like lost of us I bought the wrong tool first time around to save a few quid, this is the plane I should have bought first time around. I can’t fault it.
