A value even with defects.
The fore-sole adjustable mouth has fairly ominous flaws in the dovetail slide, and the wedge doesn’t fit straight at all. However, once I sharpened the blade and tucked some tiny copper shims in, it works beautifully! Tackles end-grain like a champ!

Below average plane, but works
This plane is âokâ for someoneâs first plane. The blade sharpens-up nicely, but the fit-and-finish are not so great. It is about like youâd expect from a tool made in India. Very much like a âPakistani knifeâ – sharpens but crude and rough finish.

Disappointed ð
Unboxing this item you can immediately see that the build quality is not up to par. Adjustments were very loose, the blade was not very sharp and the appearance did not look professional.

Is “Contractor Grade” short for non-functional?
I ordered this plane hoping to get a handy, adjustable tool that I could rely on. I even assumed I would probably need to put some work into sharpening the blade and finishing the sole because nothing comes ready to use anymore. Unfortunately, this plane did not even match my worst expectations, because those all assumed I would have a working plane after some effort. However, this plane is non-function and un-fixable.The Blade cap eyelet is visibly deformed on one side and the Blade cap screw is off-center within the plane body. These two defects mean when assembled, the blade cap is hard against the left side of plane body leaving an 1/8 inch space on the right. Note for all left-right descriptions, I’m referencing from the back of the plane, as if you were holding it for use.The cut angle adjustment lever has limited range to the left, but swings far to the right. When the cut lever is adjusted full-left, it almost, but not quite, squares the blade in the body. There is plenty of range to angle the blade right. So at best you could almost get a square cut. If you were looking for a plane with an un-escapeable right bias this is the plane for you.When the blade is fully retracted, it sits proud by at least 1/16 inch. This plane can give paper-thin curls as long as your paper is 1/16 inch thick and your definition of ‘curls’ is synonymous with splinters or shards. The blade itself cannot retract further because it is hard-against cap-screw post in the bed of the plane. This might be due to the incorrect machining of the bed itself which is visibly uneven, and perhaps too deep overall. The depth could explain why a fully retracted blade is ready for a 1/16 inch tear through your work. The uneven machining of the bed also angles the blade out of plane with the sole by several degrees, so no cuts are parallel to anything the plane sole touches.I wanted a block plane that would allow me to control my cuts and this looked good. I guess technically I can control my cuts as long as they are 1/16 inch deep or greater, angled right to far-right and each uniquely angled to every other one produced by this ‘plane’. It is a version of control remarkably distant from my expectations.Oh, and the blade is horribly dull and needs a bunch of honing and the sole was ‘finished’ on 30 – 60 grit and a good deal of sanding is needed to bring it to a reasonable finish, but I’m so humbled by the other defects I feel expecting a mostly sharp blade and reasonably smooth sole to be outrageously indulgent. Anyhow, this is getting returned.

Nice and heavy, sturdy well built
The weight, the ease of use, and of ease of adjustability.

Doesn’t hold up
Disappointed in this purchase. Sharpened the blade and tried to use for a project but after minor use the screw that the blade pivots on did not hold consistently. Would try to return but it’s been used. Next time will spend more dollars for a better quality tool sold and shipped by amazon.
