Summary: Terrible plane...
Comment: this is really not even a plane; it works more like a gouge and scaper. If you plan to use it on wood, don't! Don't make the same mistake I did. All I got was gouges all over my board. The ergonomics of this unit is just horrid. Your hand will get tired after a few strokes. Buy a real planer if you want to work on wood.

Summary: Does what I want it to...
Comment: I've had a couple of these for quite a few years. I mainly use them for putting contours on jewelry box lids. I start in the middle of the lid, going with the grain, and dig deeper as I get to the edge, then "lip" it up a little. This little plane allows me to adjust the flare of the cut as I go along, makes a more random looking contour. Trying to do this with a regular handplane takes twice the work because you can't make those flare turns in the middle of the cut. Hope that made sense to the reader. Guess ya gotta be there. At any rate this is a great little tool, for not a lot of money. I have quite a few hand planes, and use them all the time. This is more of a carving tool for me than a plane. You can get very nice results with just a little practice. Highly recommend.

Summary: It works well within its limitations!
Comment: I have owned this little "pocket plane" for a few years now, using it on both drywall and wood. I can say that is does indeed work wonders on drywall - it cuts agressively so you can quickly shape the drywall as you need it. With wood however, it is another story. Here the main benefit of this thing - its small size -is also its main drawback. Your hand gets tired pretty quickly if you try to remove much wood with this tool, because it is a one handed operation. I have no complaints about its ability to cut and remove wood, just that what you ask of it is very limited by its small size.
I recommend this tool to anyone who will use it on drywall at a jobsite, otherwise pay the few dollars more for the two handed model!

Summary: Drywaller's Mate
Comment: The only reason I own this little gem is for drywalling. It fits in my pocket so I can whip it out to plane down drywall sheet edges quickly. That's important when your trying to fit them in difficult places like corners and closet ceilings, especially if you're standing on a bench or some other awkward position. It smoothes those edges and removes stock in a hurry. It pays to keep some extra blades around, though. Moisture combines with drywall dust to corrode steel, so the blades can rust between jobs. I wouldn't start a drywall job without this tool. Thanks..!

Summary: Tune up your drywall cuts
Comment: This tool is a must for tight drywall joints. It will scrape the rough edges right off and you'll have an easier time finishing. I don't use it for wood , although I suppose you could if you had a new blade.
