Stanley - 78 Fillister Plane
A good value
Aug 01, 2013
A Good Value
The 78 has been around for decades. It’s comfortable, and did a good job at every task given to it. The machining on the sole was flat, but coarse. Everything else was clean and accurate. It’s not as refined as the Veritas, but it is a very good value.
