Product notes
Stanley metal hand planes & more collectible vintage woodworking parts tool lot
For USD 89.99, this lot centers on classic metal hand planes, a solid match if your projects involve smoothing, jointing, or trimming wood by hand. The lot also includes more collectible vintage woodworking parts, so you're getting a mixed haul of pieces beyond just the plane bodies. That makes it a good candidate for someone who likes sorting through vintage tools and building up a working set. The limitation is that this is a parts lot, not a matched set of ready-to-use planes. Expect to inspect each plane and component, then decide what needs cleaning, adjusting, or replacement before it's dependable on the bench.
50 vintage wood carving chisels & gouge collectible woodworking huge tool lot
This lot includes 50 vintage wood carving chisels and gouge, making it the volume choice for carving projects. It is also of United States origin, which may matter if you prefer domestically sourced used tools. If you want a wide variety of edge shapes, this is the lot that gives you the most to try. The trade-off is the higher price and the prep work that comes with a large mixed set; you'll need to sort through the tools and sharpen or tune the ones you plan to use.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Stanley lot if your priority is a lower-priced, plane-focused vintage woodworking tools purchase and you're comfortable with a mixed parts lot. Choose the chisel lot if you want a large carving assortment and are willing to spend more for the volume. For a carver or collector, the chisel lot is the bigger find; for a woodworker concentrating on hand planes, the Stanley lot is the more targeted buy.
