Spear & Jackson CT4PS 4 Piece Carpenters Tool Set

This woodworking set is useful. The marking and angle gauges is great. I checked the wood square with a machinist square. I'm a CNC machinist and it was square enough for me. The only issue I had was with the plane. I sharpened the blade and it planes wood very well. You can't use the plane on a shooting board because the sides of the plane are not square. The side are out of square a big amount. The bottom of the plane was flat. The box it came in was chipped off on the inside. The box works but I had to glue it together. I'm glad I bought the set. If your using a shooting board. Try a different plane

Brought this for mad loving son who wants to do some woodwork projects he’s really happy with it

While this is a good price for this set of tools, it doesn't excuse the state of the plane that was included in my set.The geometry of the chip iron, the hole in it for the depth adjuster, and the depth adjusting wheel mean that the blade can't be fully retracted! Which means I cannot wind the blade back in enough to take fine cutes, nor can I flatten the sole with the plane assembled. Which renders the plane useless.I only realized this after I started flattening the sole, then remembered to do it assembled. I may have wasted my money, as I don't see any way to fix this. It's just so badly made.

Nice bit of kit

Came damaged. Looks like whomever put the box together didn’t have all the parts anyway (see original photo in ad). Disappointing.
