Stanley 12-101 Small Trimming Plane

Front door was sticking due to the wooden weather strip catching presumably due to the damp weather. Not enough space for my full size plane. Thought I would try this little plane to avoid the aggravation of taking the heavy door off. Due to its small size able to invert the plane and remove small amount of wood to stop sticking. Unlike full size plane adjusting the blade is a little fiddly as no adjustment wheel but once adjusted worked well.

Useful little plane which saved a lot of work that would have been necessary otherwise to get a sticking door to fit. This little tool worked well for me and did the job I have been putting off for ages in a few minutes. The price is well worth the time and trouble saved.

Reallly handy little tool, took a bit of sorting out to get it working well but great now. Would have given 5 stars if it was ready to go straight out of the box

When it arrived I thought this is too small to be any good but worked a treat easing a door ,that had swelled, to fit. I would Recommend it for small planing jobs without too much mess , small enough to keep In my tool box drawer.

It's ok but the blade doesn't hold very well and keeps slipping out of place.

Great tool. I've been using it for a year or two and its still sharp and cuts well.

Fab!!!! As i Can only use one arm, with this sml plane I managed to fix a swollen door, Opens & shuts really good now!!

I read the description, below, and the plane is not the product advertised. It is far smaller, unless the sellers do not know how to use a ruler or the metric system changed without letting anyone know. I bought this as I thought at the size stated it would be ideal, sadly not! One to avoid I’m afraid Part Number 12-101 Product Dimensions 15 x 7.1 x 3 cm Item model number 12-101 Item Package Quantity 1 Batteries Included? No Batteries Required? No Weight 49.9 Grams Update 20th August 2018 the suppliers did not respond to any emails. I will be requesting my money back. Definitely one to avoid here.

Cheap little stamped metal plane, right? Kind of. It's cheap, it's stamped metal, but it feels and works great. They're small and inexpensive enough that I can tuck one in every tool bag. The little blade takes a fine edge, and this thing shaves way outside of its weight class. It's not a big jointing plane, but it'll chamfer anything you want quickly and cheaply. I don't think this is a cheap little stamped metal plane. Having used it, it feels more like an inexpensive practical tool. Stanley outdid themselves on this one. Update: Still takes a wicked edge 10 months later, and works just fine for skiving leather, too.

Ótima plaina. Tamanho ideal para ajustes finos.

Este pequeño acompañante cumple su cometido de una forma excepcionalmente simple Su perfil minimalista y acabado negro niquelado, lo hacen una herramienta sutílmente atractiva, pero además muy resistente, incluso a las caídas Pequeño, pero poderoso, este mini cepillo viene con una navaja lista para usarse, y es ideal para todo tipo de trabajo delicado, detallado en piezas pequeñas, cantos y desbaste Ha resultado muy útil en mi taller, y no podría estar sin uno, ya que también son muy útiles para algunos acabados en piezas más grandes Algunos detalles a tomar en cuenta: El filo se sujeta por medio de un tornillo que tiene una terminación semi-circular en la punta, por lo cual el punto de sujección es relativamente pequeño en comparación con uno de terminación plana. Desconozco el porqué se hizo de esta forma, seguramente hay una razón muy importante, pero esto resulta en que el cuchillo tiende a moverse cuando no esta firmemente sujeto Para "arreglar" esto, el tornillo se tiene que apretar con una fuerza considerable, tanto, que podrías necesitar de un trapo o hacer uso de tu ropa para lograrlo, ya que el tornillo es muy pequeño y puede ser doloroso hacer esto sólo con las manos Debido a esto, resulta algo tedioso ajustar el filo a la profundidad requerida, ya que con cada cambio y prueba se tiene que ajustar el tornillo de la misma manera Una cosa más, es que el metal del filo ya está mostrando señales de oxidación en un ambiente que ha estado húmedo por las lluvias Tomado todo esto en cuenta, sólo queda decir que es una herramienta verdaderamente útil, poderosa, y altamente recomendada para cualquier carpintero, y con mejor razón si estás empezando. Sus pocas faltas se ven opacadas por su practicidad y beneficio, y podrás hacer cosas que probablemente antes hacías de forma incomoda e imprecisa

Such a helpful tool to use in the workshop super light and easily fits in an apron pocket.

Great little product for when installing flooring.
