In Response To: How about their block plane? (Brian Nystrom)

: Have you seen any reviews of it, Pete? I did a web search but came up empty.

The current (it's also the first) issue of Fine Woodworking's "Tools & Shops" magazine rated the Veritas low angle block plane as the best value even though it costs about twice as much as the Stanley or Record. The Veritas block plane has a thicker blade, better blade steel, better blade support, lateral blade supports and better blade adjustment (no backlash).
