Easy to use bot not precise. I use it every time is need to take off a bit of thickness on a board or a piece of wood
Easy to use, does the job, I wouldn’t be without one of these in my toolbox.
Very Sharp, does the job… Easy to lose because of size and colour…
So nice to have a good surform, takes off a good amount and doesn’t get clogged up, also you can put a zip tie through the end to hang it up!
So I’m no professional, once you get the right motion of shaving a door it comes of nice like a cheese grater. Worth the money if you want to shave them doors
I can’t comment on the longevity of it, as I’ve only used once.
The full term for this unit is a surform block plane.
It’s a wood/ hardboard rasp.
Not a bladed block plane
Solid design though.
minus 1 star for misleading/incomplete product title.
Surprisingly tough, I had some boards where screw tips were protruding slightly, this thing got them flat and the blade was still good afterwards.
This will work for me thought it be nice if the picture showed that too.
Hence one less star for poor presentation
However it seems to do the job as i tried using it to see what it can achieve.
Surprisingly good
Blade is sharp enough to do the job (fitting kitchen plinths/kickboards, window sills, plasterboard etc.) Great that the blade can be replaced for when it blunts.
Only downside and reason for the 4 star rating is the plastic blade fitting/adjustment – feels a little cheap and flimsy and is a bit fiddly if you have fat clumsy fingers like me. That said it does the job and stood up to the task.
One of the best tools I’ve ever bought, paid for itself when I was cladding a stud wall with plaster board, finishing the edges perfectly flush, good build quality, my dad has had one of these exactly the same and its older than I am.
There is a plastic yellow one of these also made by Stanley and takes the same blade, it has a different style body however I prefer this style as it sits in your palm bette
