plane set
Plane is square and flat , after sharpening works as well as my other planes. Spokeshave is very nice no sharpening needed. -
A very good purchase!
They arrived on time, and were just what I was hoping for. I'm sure they will be just what I needed. -
Beginners Only
If you are planning on remaining a beginner then these are fine but..... The soles of the planes are not flat. Planes will only flatten a surface as flat as their soles and the ones I received are not flat and the work I would need to do in order to flatten the is excessive. The sides of both planes I received are not square. I sharpened the blades after cleaning the shipping oil from them. (they did arrive clean). I did get them adjusted to shave a nice thin strip off the piece I was working on but it was not flat due to the sole issues stated above. Had I performed these tests promptly upon receipt of the planes, I would have returned them. They will serve a purpose but they are not what I expected. -
Great Addition To My Workshop
I lost most of my tools in the divorce. I have gotten a tool here and there over the past few years. I needed a plane and went to Google to see what was available. I found this starter set and placed my order. The planes exceeded my expectation and I have used them successfully on several projects. I recommend this starter set to all without reservation! -
Stanley Honing
Didn't know I had a chisel until I used your honing tool, before I sharpened it I had to use a hammer, afterword I just tapped it with the palm of my hand, why didn't I find this a few years ago. -
Easy Measure, Poor Rollers

Plane Review
I love the products I ordered from your company. I like having all three tools in one box. -
Stanley Sharpening Holder
This simple holder is just the ticket for sharpening spokeshave blades. It works on short blades that the typical side clamping jigs do not. -
Simple and Easy
My chisels sat unsharpened for years in my tools box. Tried other methods but with this tool it made sharpening easy and simple. No need to buy new ones. -
Starter Set
Starter Set - for someone STARTING OUT - should have instructions on how to operate and take care of any tool. This set has NOTHING -- ???

Starter Tool Set
Nice inexpensive starter set I purchased for my Little Brother. The planes were easy to disassemble for sharpening and the blades sharpened easily. The blades were ground a bit low in the center but was easily corrected with a course stone. There was a problem with the wooden box and after a few iffy phone calls a replacement box was received well before Christmas. -
The Beginner
Arrived quickly and in a real beautiful box. I sharpened and honed the planes and used them to smooth some old cedar boards. They worked flawlessly even for this beginning woodworker. A real joy using these types of tools instead of power sanding tools and the like. I have never used a Spokeshave before but can already see that it will be very useful as I progress in my journey from welder to woodworking.
