Stanley 102 Block Plane 1-12-102

"It's a generally accepted truth that a Stanley no. 4 & 5 can cater for 90 percent of your planing needs. Well, the last tenth is most effectively served by a short and simple block plane, and the 102 is the simplest and shortest of the lot. Not much in the way of adjustment (you will need to use a hammer/mallet), and due to the weight you don't get anything for free with regards to stability - but once you get the hang of it, you'll never want to go back. Also, since it will almost definitely fill a hitherto unused trouser pocket, you'll find yourself using it more than any other plane. A must have! Took a while to arrive, but that's international shipping for you. "
