5.0 out of 5 stars A Cool Tool, April 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Stanley 21-399 6-Inch Surform Pocket Plane (Tools & Home Improvement)

This little puppy does about anything you need for shaping, forming, planing, and carving. If you need to cut something down to size quickly, then this is the tool for the task. It might look like a cheese grater, but the blade handles about any material - wood, drywall, PVC, car Bondo, countertops, and even aluminum. The nice part is that you never have to sharpen the tool - just buy a new replacement blade. I don't like to put my block plane on just any material, and it takes some time to keep the plane iron sharp, so the Surfom makes for a really versatile substitute.

This review is from: Stanley 21-399 6-Inch Surform Pocket Plane (Tools & Home Improvement)

The only reason I own this little gem is for drywalling. It fits in my pocket so I can whip it out to plane down drywall sheet edges quickly. That's important when your trying to fit them in difficult places like corners and closet ceilings, especially if you're standing on a bench or some other awkward position. It smoothes those edges and removes stock in a hurry. It pays to keep some extra blades around, though. Moisture combines with drywall dust to corrode steel, so the blades can rust between jobs. I wouldn't start a drywall job without this tool. Thanks..!

This tool is a must for tight drywall joints. It will scrape the rough edges right off and you'll have an easier time finishing. I don't use it for wood , although I suppose you could if you had a new blade.
