Stanley No. 5 Handyman Jack Plane

The Stanley No. 5 Handyman Jack Plane is a versatile bench plane designed for workshop, site and finishing work. This H.1205 model combines traditional hand plane performance with durable modern materials, making it suitable for general-purpose planing tasks across a range of timber types.

Built with a precision cast fine grey iron base, this jack plane delivers the stability and wear resistance required for consistent results. The 50mm cutter width makes it ideal for smoothing surfaces, preparing timber for joinery, and general stock preparation. The chrome carbon steel cutter is hardened and tempered to maintain a keen cutting edge throughout extended use.

Practical features include fingertip adjustment controls for depth of cut and cutter alignment, allowing quick setup changes between different tasks. The fully adjustable frog accommodates various timber types and planing operations, whilst the kidney-shaped lever cap screw hole prevents accidental slippage of the cutter during use. Both the handle and knob are manufactured from virtually unbreakable polypropylene and shaped for comfortable grip during prolonged planing sessions.
