    Great kit for a novice I needed to sharpen my block planers and didn t have any oil or really and legit knowledge of any methods. (I would have just scraped them along the stone without much thought) After some preliminary attempts and lack of results I had my buddy show me how to really get em sharp and I m so jazzed I got this kit.Can t say I find the blade holder thing helpful and know I didn t really use it well in the first place. Couldn t get the rollers lined up well. 5If you like throwing your money away This product is incredibly cheap and you get what you pay for. The sharpening stone is warped/distorted. One side has a crown and a cup on the other side. So one side contacts the out side edges of the blade and when you flip it for the finer grit it only contacts the center. I will try and flatten it before I throw it in the trash. Now the honing guide looks pretty cheap and parts are stamped out of thin metal but is fairly easy to use and some what sturdy then it appears to be. Although I could easily imagine most people having aligning and squaring up the blade issues. I would not recommend this product and plan to replace. I do find it very intriguing that all of the amazon "verified" reviewers rated it 5 stars, would be surprised if they ever laid eyes on the product or removed it from package:/ 1Thinking its Stanley it should be pretty good, but it is truly a poorly designed ... I purchased this to sharpen a blade from an older Stanley Spoke Shave. Thinking its Stanley it should be pretty good, but it is truly a poorly designed and executed product. Lets start with the honing guide first. The instructions are simple if you've never used one before and I hadn't. But give it a couple of glances before using. You first flip down the plastic angle guide, insert the blade you want to sharpen from the back. Push the blade forward until you see the edge line up with the angle you want, 30, 25 degrees. In my case I wanted to sharpen a plane blade to 30 degrees. Then tighten the two adjustment knobs. Here's where the sloppy design comes into play. You have to really tighten the knobs, working one then the other, then back and forth a couple of times to get the blade really tight. You need the blade tight so it doesn't move in the guide. Also as you tighten the adjustment knobs you tend to lose "Square" with the blade and guide. Also your angle tends to move. Now for the angle guide. It's somewhat helpful in aiding in finding the correct grind angle. But here's the rub. It doesn't stay in the retracted position. As you sharpen the blade by pushing the guide back and forth along the stone you have to hold the angle find in place with a finger. If not it wants to flop down and get in the way making it awkward to continue sharpening your blade. Now for the stone, if your looking for an inexpensive stone its okay, The kit comes with oil but I soaked the stone in water, kept it in water as I was using it. I'm not saying the oil is bad. But I prefer water. If you have a stone, any sharpening stone you can always use water, but once you use oil on it you always have to use oil.A better design for a honing guide is when the blade is clamped from the sides. This forces the blade square with the guide and then square with the stone.Stanley needs to redesign this product. I would have happily paid more for a better guide if I had know this one was wasn't very good. I did manage to put a pretty good edge on my plane blade but it took considerable time with the constant fiddling with the guide. Had to do this to maintain the square of the blade in the guide.If your buying tools your going to use more than once never skimp based on price. Buy the best tool you can afford. They tend to be of higher quality, last longer and maybe you'll be able to pass them down the line. This is not one of those tools. This one will be taking up room in my toolbox and I'll use it if it's all I have.So I'm now looking for a better honing guide that squares the blade against the guide and stone. Hope this was helpful. 2STOP! Don't make the mistake I did.Please READ! This is not the Stanley that you are use to or want it to be. I have many chisels and I have pretty much free hand sanded for most of my life. I am only able to do this because my grandfather was a pro at it and taught me how to do this when I was a you boy. He never had a dull chisel.Well I am getting older and thought why not use a little assistance right? Wrong. This was a complete waist of my money. It will not hold a chisel square to save your life. It barely even holds the chisel period. The instructions are a joke, the guide is a joke. the only thing that is just ok is the stone.The only reason for the two stars is one for the stone and one for the oil. I made the mistake of not reading the reviews as I normally do and it came back to bite me.I can go on and on about this but just save your money, read lots of reviews and buy a product that really works. As far as Stanley goes I like a lot of their products as they have some good ones. This is just not one of those productsYes, I PAID FULL PRICE. This is MY OPINION about this product. I am not affiliated with anyone but me. I m AMZ Prime and I hope I helped you come to an easier decision.. 2Tried to save money, but should have gotten a better product. I bought this as a cheap way to get around buying diamond plates, and it was definitely a shortcut I would not take again. I just started restoring an old plane and though this would be an easy way to get started. The honing guide is very inaccurate as the plastic piece that helps determine the angle is quite loose and not precise. You could hone two different times and start honing a different angle from the initial time. The stone also go clogged easily and soaked up quite a bit of the oil on the first use. It's also a bit too narrow for a plane. It will work, but a larger surface would be much easier. Spend a little bit more money and don't waste your time on this product. It might be good for other projects like small knife sharpening, but the honing guide is a paperweight now. 2Spend more and get a better one, this is bad! This thing is as cheap as can be! It does hold the chisel or plane blade securly but had to use a metal ruler to get it straight in the clamp. It comes with a guide to do this but its plastic and moves all of the place, so you cant trust it. The wheels on the jig are made of plastic and horrible. The oil stone it comes with acts like every other oil stone and clogs up and its worthless 5 seconds into the sharpening process. I used the jig on sandpaper and water stones to get my plane blade sharp, threw the rest away. 1As expected. Stanley is not Lie-Neilsen When it comes to woodworking, the quality of your edges makes all the difference. As an amateur woodworker, I don't need to stake my reputation on my work, but I recognize how important edges are. I have been sending out my blades to be professionally sharpened for years and have come to expect a lot out of a precision edge. I have a several sets of chisels I work through and when I had worn most of them down, I would send them all out for sharpening. The economics of that aren't working out much so I decided to try and sharpen and maintain my edges myself.My stone arrived with a divot in the coarse side. It was about 1/4" wide but a little more than an inch long, so I let it go since the surface was otherwise flat, but I will admit that I was more interested in the jig and less about the stones. I will be using the jig on my Japanese stones primarily, but I was able to put a more than serviceable edge on my everyday chisel. The jig appears to be die cast and might not be super precise. The plastic gauge is also imprecise, but for a worn down chisel, it gets you there. If you are honing a professionally sharpened blade, forget the gauge and put an eyeball on the honing surface to match the angle.I used the oil on the stone that came with it and it soaked right in. I was looking to be able to float the particles of metal away from the honing surface, but maybe it just needs more conditioning with oil. My other stones are whetted with water and the metal seems to float away but that might be the differences between whetting fluids.The jig was relatively easy to control without touching the chisel itself. It clamped on the chisel well enough to allow for a good amount of pressure to be applied. However, it is a small jig and after a few minutes, my fingers and hand were aching. It was not a problem to keep the jig on the stone, and depending on the size of the chisel, I was able to move the jig in a way to use as much surface of the stone as possible.Overall, I am happy with the simplicity of this tool and will use it often, but I will probably still send out for sharpening to be sure that every now and then I can be sure of a perfect edge. 3Fair as an add on The stone, oil, and guide were free with a minimum purchase a couple months back. The guide is decent and fits my planer blades and chisels pretty well. Angle adjustment for sharpening is a mostly up to eye balling it, as the adjustment/angle gauge and the locking screws are approximations. The oil had leaked in the packaging a small amount, maybe an ounce, which is understandable, it's oil in a package that gets tossed and shifted around. My only real disappointment with the whole thing was the gouge in the finer grit side of the stone. It wasn't a chip or crack, there were no pieces or stone residue in the packaging, just a gouge in the stone. I can't complain too much as it was an add on item that cost me nothing additional, but some quality control would be helpful on Stanley's behalf. 3Good for the price. Seems to work ok. I d buy another bottle of oil if you don t have any. The stone soaked up the entire bottle that is provided before I could sharpen anything. . The angle gauge is flimsy. It s just a piece of plastic that you flip over. It does work but I know that I m going to lose it rendering the entire thing useless.Update: I used this thing with different stones and it worked pretty well. I put in a plane iron and spent about 5 minutes on about 3 different stones. It definitely does a better job at angles than I can. I m leaving at 4 stars due to the wiggly plastic angle gauge. 4Good value at the right price This has worked well for me for it's intended purpose. It's not the best quality, but it is good. As a carpenter, I've used it to keep my chisels and plane blades sharp for the last 4 years. Using the guide seems like a hassle in the middle of a job, it can be a little tedious to square, but it really does give you a better cutting edge when you can keep the blade angle perfectly straight. The only improvement I'd like to see on this is a guide to help square what ever blade you're putting in it. If you aren't sharping blades all the time you really don't need the guide but what I paid for this was about the same as the price of a decent stone and small bottle of oil anyways so I basically got the guide for free. I consider that to be a good value, but do your own pricing research before you buy if cost is an issue for you. 4
