Its bright orange... and it works well.
Well constructed, responsive plane. Not the most necessary tool ever made, chamfering is fairly simple to accomplish without any special tools, but having the tool is always better than not having the tool. The one massive benefit to this is in the general amount of safety provided around the blade. You would have to put some effort into getting cut with this plane compared to other styles and this is absolutely excellent in regards to getting my 5 and 7 year old kids using hand tools. Its not an overly massive chunk of hard to handle steel that offers up cut fingers just from picking it up wrong. They will both be able to handle this safely and get it to work well as a result. This was not the reason I bought it, but after holding it I realized how well it will suit this task. Ill surely use it as well, it does work quite nicely and its bright orange. Easy to spot tools always have a decent chance of being used frequently when other things become invisible for some reason in the shop.Out of the box the blades are good and sharp. We all know that nothing is ever sharp enough and the first thing you will do is take the blades to stone no matter how much it cost or how well it cuts. Its okay, we all do it. But, in the mean time they cut clean and smooth.The unit is machined well and the adjustment wheel is smooth and responsive. It fits comfortably in the hand both as a push and a pull plane. The grooving is smooth and even, so it cuts a symmetrical chamfer.Its bright orange. I like it. Sure is better looking than gross yellow.Blades store on board. Good product, good price.

Not well finished but seems good enough. enough.
The surfaces needed a good bit of flattening and rhe edges were not well honed at all. I completely expected to have to tune it on arrival but the amount of flattening needed surprised me. I am confident it will function fine once well tuned and seemed robust enough for my purposes and minimal level of skill. If you do not know how to tune a plane of hand tool I'd keep looking as this will likely lead to less than ideal results on the finish as delivered. Without the ability to get flattened and honed well beyond a touch up would lead to frustration and likely some ruined projects.

Great handheld chamfer tool
Very well made chamfering tool that is easy to use. The three included blades store nicely in the tool and are razor-sharp.

Works after hours of tuning
Well, it is cheap. Cutters really rough and took a long time to get ready. You have to disassemble it to change cutters. Once tuned up, it does work fine. Holding the cutters to sharpen them is a pain as they are small. Better bet is vintage wood body molding planes.

Good quality and feel in the hand.
I am impressed with the quality. It is the first "professional" woodworking tool I have purchased. The blades are sharp and give a good edge. The tool itself, feels good in the hand and seems well constructed. The instructions are well written and easy to understand.

Good tool for the money.
I put it to use as soon as I received it. It performed perfectly. I used two of the blades and took very light cuts at first, but found it could handle more aggressive cuts with ease. There’s always a learning curve with a new tool but I am impressed and happy with this product. Not the cheapest or most expensive option. But so far it is just what I hoped for.
