I don’t know if there’s a right or wrong way to hold it, can be awkward. But neat little tool for the little I need it.

I’ve been very satisfied with Amazon, but this time I am not I took it out of the package, rubbed it on soft wood, and it broke immediately. Total junk.

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.''

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.

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 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!
