A plane has a shaving blade. This is a rasp which has no blade more like a file.

This is Craftsman calling a drywall rasp and Plane to try and upsell a product that's been around for 50 years. This is a rasp for drywall-that's it. No carpenter is using a drywall rasp for end grain work like they claim in the description. You are 100% correct and Craftsman just calls this tool something it isn't.

Solid deal. Looks useful for tuning drywall edges and light duty wood trimming.

Would it be useful to shave the top of a sticking door? Currently at a relative's without necessarily tools.

Now that I read the one star ratings there is enough concern it will not work to shave the door that it is a no buy.

Yes, I've used this for shaving doors.

This is similar to a cheese grater. It has many blades, so it is still technically a plane, but it's certainly not what most would think of for this. A rasp is simply a coarse file with teeth. This is categorically not a rasp; it is a plane.

A rasp is a file with cut teeth. A plane is a flattened straight edge (plane) with a cutting blade(s) that lets shavings pass through the blade in the plane.

People can call it a rasp, but it's truly a plane. Just like how a small grater is called a "microplane".

Exactly this. I own an almost identical product and you cannot plane wood with it. A planar shaves the wood. This product simply scrapes off whatever you use it for. The so called cheeser grater I have is worthless for shaping hard wood but great for drywall. Call it whatever you like this sucks as a planar.
