STANLEY21-399 6-Inch Surform Pocket Plane

I used the previous one on drywall to smooth the edges. It still works just fine for drywall. But not at for wood. So now I have two; one labeled ''rock,'' and one labeled ''wood.''

This thing is only five and seven eighths inches long but it made fast work beveling the edges of several calf blocks I made (used for exercise training). Each calf block is about two feet long. Rounding the edges took about ten minutes, working carefully. It did a nice job. Sharp and clean. The wood-paper-like residue just fills up inside. Not a problem at all as it can be very easily plucked out when full, or it will just push out on its own when full. You can also install the easily removable blade so that the teeth face in either direction, so you can push or pull. But you can do that just by turning the entire unit around too. the blade has simple, symmetrical turned up edges built on to either end that hook onto the front (lower end as per the picture) as well as onto the removable screw "other side of the hook" on the back end. Very easy and very stable design. I like simple and strong tools, since they last and are easy to replace parts such as blades on.Delivered on time; I'm a prime member so two days. I also like that it has replaceable grater blades. I assume that since they are Stanley that the 21-398 replacement blades are easy to get. This efficient little surform was comfortable to use for me, having size extra large hands. I would recommend the Stanley 21-399 Pocket Plane (even though it is really a surform) to anyone for anything but truly big jobs. But I can't think of an instance when you would need a longer grater on a hand surform to shape wood. I have only used it on relatively new wood so far, not plastic or metal. And it cut, shaved and shaped like butter. I am not sure how the blade (or any surform blade of this type) would work on metal surfaces, or on the 300-year old wood of the house I grew up in in Lattingtown!

Works well on drywall edging after the cut

Great tool. Good quality for the price. Perfect for drywall installation. It will last decades.Delivered quickly.

exceeded my expectations !

I'm a girl and this pocket plane is just the right size for me to hold for leveling my goats' hooves. Because of the angle, it's a lot easier for me to straddle them and use this on their back hooves than working on their front. Hopefully that will get easier with practice. Haven't had this long enough to know how it holds up to rust and wear. It feels very sturdy and is nice and sharp. I like that the blade is so easy to change out.

This tool works very well for cleaning caulking and dried paint from interior trim. A real time saver.

Initially I felt the shape was kind of awkward, but I got used to it quickly. Easy to change blades, and easy to change the direction of cut. This works great on mostly cured Bondo, forming styrofoam insulation (the good extruded kind, not the flaky "balls stuck together" kind) and with a sharp blade even forms fully cured Bondo reasonably well. Look for the mini 21-115 for curved surfaces, and the two 10" large ones 21-296 and 21-295 for flattening and countouring larger items. I wish I'd found these a month ago when I was building fender flares for my van!

Es muy útil y es perfecto para terminados para drywall. Lo recomiendo.

Buon prodotto.

It's easy to hold fits in the nail pouch no problem and shaves through plasterboard like a razorblade what more can i say.

Haven't used it too much but in general looks well made and up to the task to assist in better edges of cut drywall.

Perfect for shaving sticking door. Now my door can close smoothly.
