Customer Reviews for Buck Bros. 3 in. Model Maker Plane

Too hard to adjust it, and blade won't stay in position after tightened.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Too small to be useful

It will work well for the shaving off the edges of our cabinet doors

Hard to set depth. Otherwise ok for the price

Uncomfortable in the hand, not the most efficient tightening system, used it on a 1/2" strip of pine and couldn't get the job done.

Excelent tool for small fixes and repairs.

this idem was very easy to use

Perfect for the job I needed to complete!

I plan to return this. It's useless.

Lightweight., very sharp, easy to work with.

Jammed up immediately, will be returning it

barely scrapes let alone planes anything. I am very disappointed.

I bought this to remove the raised edge from laminate interlock, not a good tool for this until I took a grinder to both sides. This allowed the blade to be in the correct place for removal and it now functions flawlessly. I’m sure for it’s actual use no modifications would be needed.

It’s not sharp enough to do the job.

Too small. Hard to align blade correctly. Blade not sharp enough to do its job. I would not buy again.

The plane is very difficult to adjust - quite sloppy. Would not recommend it to anyone.

This is my second one! Not because the first one was defective or anything but because I like my first one so much I decided to get another for my dad. Great little planer! Fits in those tighter spots that your normal planer won't. Perfect for quick touch-ups. Small and light so you can keep it in your tool bag for those times when you're on a job and had no idea you would need a planer but you do so thank goodness this little guy was in the bag!

This tool did the job I needed but it would have been much better to have had a larger one. I only saw this size when shopping for one. It is very small!!

Kinda small but does work

I think some of the people having problems may not know how to sharpen, set up, and use a plane. This thing is great. It just works, and it's more robust than some offerings from mainstream brands. I've had one I've used for many years. It was the first plane I was able to set up and use correctly. Unfortunately, I don't know where I put it. The fact that I'm heading to Home Depot to repurchase the same model speaks to my impressions. Seriously. Five stars.

I believe this WILL meet my needs. BUT, I have NOT tried to use it (yet).

Really good, fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, grate for small gobs

It didn’t work the sharpen blade it is not good:(
