    3.8 out of 5 isn't bad.

    Most of the bad reviews are from hardcore woodworkers who are by natured perfectionists.

    if the base is completely bowed send it back to Amazon for full refund.

    If it's not then Five minutes with some sandpaper to get the Blade razor sharp and the base completely flat.

    Well worth it imho

      Agreed, best Stanley planes are certainly from a past era and found in garage sales / deceased estates, but this is a great price for a current unit and could be a good plane if you are willing to do some fettling.

      Most of the bad reviews are from hardcore woodworkers retirees with a garage full of festool who can barely hammer a nail straight but spend their days online telling everyone else that you can't use any tool that cost less than five hundred bucks.

    i have one, they are great when tuned …… sometimes wonder if reviewers know what they are doing ……. it’s a timeless design and has stood the test of time because it works.

    This is a classic design. People buy old ones for restoration.

  I have this - it's fine. Paid $80 for it and thought that was a bargain.

  Got one! Been wanting to get a hand plane for ages. The ones sold locally are generally out of my price range.

    paulcad44 on 29/05/2018 - 14:07

    Look on eBay for used record and Stanley plane no 4 and 5s great smoothing planes and should be able to get one for around $50-60.

    PS: Aldi is currently selling an 850W electric planer for $49.99 for anyone who's interest. I got one up last Saturday.
