Great for shaping Bondo and foam!
Easy to change blades, and easy to change the direction of cut. This works great on mostly cured Bondo, forming styrofoam insulation (the good extruded kind, not the flaky "balls stuck together" kind) and with a sharp blade even forms fully cured Bondo reasonably well. Look for the mini 21-115 for curved surfaces, the smaller 21-399 for medium sized objects and the other 10" large one 21-295 for flattening and countouring larger items. I wish I'd found these a month ago when I was building fender flares for my van!

A good substitute for a real plane
Used this to shape down some rough wood instead of using a regular plane. At first I thought it was blunt, but after leaning harder on the handles, I got it to cut nicely. Price was good, just lost a star because of the effort required for use

Not a master tool but serves it's purpose!
Sometimes you don't need the master tool just to knock a little wood off for a good fit. Works well enough on end grain (sometimes a rasp is better there) but works really well with the grain, especially in tight spots when a singly blade planer won't do. Easier for fine controlled removal than a chisel also!

Garbage
Stanley has become synonymous with junk. I should kick myself for buying this as I have other Stanley tools that have failed like screwdrivers where the blade spins inside the handle and a hack saw that won't hold a blade under pressure. The blade broke on the first pass with this plane and then it broke again when I drilled a hole in it to try to repair it myself. Not worth the hassle of return. Buy better.

Works great!
I use this for shaping surfboards. Easy to adjust or replace blade, if needed.

Its cheap, but that is what I was looking for
I had a door in my house that had swollen in the summer humidity, plus the house has sagged a bit. Needed take some off the top of the door quickly, and this tool did the job. Its made of stamped metal and cheap plastic, but I bought this tool for one job, and it did it. I don't intend to cherish this tool and leave it behind me as part of my legacy -- I'm just a home owner, not a wood worker.
