This is more of a rasp than a plane. (Just so you know the type of cut this will make. )

Good tool for quick Bondo shaping in auto body work. For wood working, not so much.

I use it in the edge of drywall to either plane it after a manual cut with a razor blade or to shave it down a tad - I do a lot of woodworking and can't imagine a scenario where I would use this on wood over another tool

Is that a hand pocket plane in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

I'll probably buy one, even though I have never needed to plane my pocket by hand.

Meh.
OK if you love the manual labor shaving off wood slowly (faster than sandpaper though).

I was shaving down the end of a fence that was just a touch too wide and scraping in the block post with a similar Stanley at first.

But ultimately too slow and frustrating, so I slapped a carbide tool into my Skil multitool.

Really awesome tool for shaving wood down fast - harbor freight carbide triangle rasp for multi tools.
https://www.harborfreight.com/car...61825.html

And got that baby shaved far faster. Smoothed it out with a 120 grit on the multi tool, and done far faster and easier.

Key here is rapid rough takedown with the Carbide grit tool, then fast polish with the 120+ grit sandpaper.

Basically, if you've never used modern power tools, you'd think this deal is a great buy and does a good job. But once you've gotten power tools, whatever. It'll sit on the wayside while the power tools get the job done far faster.

You could ... If the scales are small...
But realistically, either power wash it...

Or

Hire the kid...

Lol...

But seriously, there's scaling tools
