Amazon Basics No.4 Adjustable Universal Bench Hand Plane – 2-Inch Blade and Plastic Handles for Precision Woodworking, 5 cm, Grey/Black

We have a gate which became impossible to close due to swelling in the wood. Before replacing this gate in the future we needed to take a decent amount of wood off the side. I have an electric sander but I needed to remove a good centimetre or so from a long chunk of wood.I grabbed this, configured the blade making sure I did my research to get the right sort of blade length. I went at the gate for a few minutes and that was it - sanding to finish it off and then a lick of waterproof paint.The blade extends/retracts so you can fully retract it before storing it, for safety.I can't fault this in any way - it was easy to setup and use. The blade arrived sharp enough to do the work I needed it for. Into the toolbox it goes.

Basic but does exactly what it should do

This is a good wood plane at a decent price

Cheap as chips and gets the job done. Would recommend to any diyer who needs to shave the odd door on a budget

The construction of the main tool is good. But it wouldnt cut anything and the blade was chipped. It seems some people get a sharp one and others have to go and buy a stone. I got a blunt one and I dont want to fix it myself. A new Plane should come sharp.

Used to straighten the edge on a door. Blade is sharp, needs some care to align the blade. But cuts well and leaves a nice surface.

Used to shave wood off the side of some doors I was fitting. Really easy to set up and worked perfectly. Seems solidly made.

As long as you read how to properly setup a plane, you will find that it works very well for the intended purpose. The blade is sharp, the product is sturdy and well made. It made it very easy to take the edges off the doors in the house due to the fitter we paid not fitting them correctly and not being able to close.
