And another joins the herd..... - EdL - 06-29-2018
Some days resistance is futile.....
USA made C-man, not sure where it fits in, maybe a .125?

Perfectly handy for breaking edges with a whisper of a chamfer. That and sharpening pencils to a chisel point.

Didn't think of pencils....did figure it would really usefull.
Only $2...hard to go wrong.
Doesn't look like it's ever been used.

Ed, I often fly to visit family, and I am sort of a handy man, so I usually get a list of things that need to be repaired before I travel, so I can bring the appropriate tools. When I get a request that a door is sticking, or something else that would require a normal plane, I have that same plane, and that is what goes into the travel bag ( checked luggage ) It is the fraction of the weight of a regular plane, and you would be surprised how often I have used it for full sized jobs. I wouldn't want to use it to flatten a slab, but get that blade plenty sharp, and it works quite well.

I have the Stanley version, which belonged to my dad. I use it a lot for just that purpose.

An often overlooked and useful little plane; I wouldn't trade mine away....
