When I started to work on my kayak in Nov. I picked up my small plane at Menard's made by Tool Shop for $2.99. It looked just like the Stanley which was a couple of dollars higher. I was at Menard's two weeks ago and my little Tool Shop plane was selling for $4.99. But I couldn't live without it. It looks like a toy but it's perfect for fitting small strips.
