185 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Stanley 1-12-060 block plane weighs 0.77 kilograms and carries the highest price in this group at 161.00 dollars.
Its rating is a flat 4.0 stars across 185 reviews, which is the floor for this set and hard to square with the premium price. The listed material reads plastic panels, which is unusual for a block plane and ambiguous from the data, so confirm the actual body construction before buying.
No blade width or cutter angle is published either. Given the price, the modest rating, and the unclear material, most shoppers will find better value elsewhere in this group.

Performance notes
The 0.77-kilogram weight is moderate, but the listed material of plastic panels is ambiguous and unusual for a plane, so build quality is hard to judge from the data. The 4.0-star average across 185 reviews is middling.
What buyers say
185 reviews average 4.0 stars, which is acceptable but underwhelming for the most expensive plane in this group.
