Overview
The Woodriver #62 is a low angle jack plane priced at $301.98, the most expensive plane in this group by a wide margin. It carries a 4.1-star rating across 24 reviews, a modest but positive score for a specialist tool with a small review base.
The listing publishes no material, blade width, sole, or weight details, so the spec sheet is thin for a tool at this price. The #62 designation points to a low angle bevel-up design, which woodworkers favor for end grain and shooting board work, but confirm the iron and mouth details with the seller before buying.
At $301.98 this is a premium purchase, far above the sub-$50 jack planes here. The price buys the Woodriver reputation rather than any documented spec advantage. ToolHandle is an Amazon Associate and earns from qualifying purchases, which does not influence our rankings.

Performance notes
A low angle bevel-up jack plane like the #62 is well suited to trimming end grain and shooting board work where a low cutting angle helps. With no iron, sole, or weight spec published, judge the cut quality and mouth setup from owner feedback rather than the data sheet.
What buyers say
The 24 reviews average 4.1 stars, a positive if modest score from a small owner base. There is no recorded monthly sales figure, so current demand is hard to gauge at this price.
