One tool to rule them all ...

I bet even AndyT will be rendered speechless by this:

Personally speaking, I reckon it's so flabbergasting that one of the modern firms should do a remake of it but perhaps with a built in magnifying glass along with a spoon for stirring a cup of tea as well.

I'm speechless!

Garbage, it hasn't got that thingy for taking stones out of horses hooves.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Beat me to it - I just though exactly the same. :lol:

And if you cant open a bottle of beer with it, well......

The other functions make sense to me, but who thought that it should double as a rebate plane ? I'm always perplexed as to how I usually end up dripping blood when using my Veritas shoulder plane, without any idea of how I did it. Can you imagine marking a job out with that ?

Is it just me or is there a bit missing from the pivot, there is a square with a threaded hole in the middle, in the second picture.
Looks like a countersunk washer is missing.

It does seem like there should be a threaded button there to hold it all together.

Anyway, what do you expect for 1600 American pesos?

Biggest career mistake I ever made...

... was to buy a Swiss Army knife with a crosshead screwdriver instead of a corkscrew.

What a numpty.

It does look like there's a missing part.

The price of the OP's link seems to be just something picked at random, and it's not "flawless" either, the blade has a quite a bit of tarnishing ie fine pitting.

I see a flaw in the design: For the plane you would need to keep retracting and then resetting the blade. Otherwise the straight edge turns into a straight edge with a couple of thou high spot.

is it one of a set?

The rebate plane part is nonsense - you mark out in blood, just nick your finger and off you go. No more searching for that pesky pencil!
