For ease and speed of adjustment the A55 wins hands down in my book. Tapping the blade through with a mallet for a deeper cut is ok, but pulling it back by hammering on the back of the plane has always been very hit and miss for me with accuracy. Too often I found that the wedge would come loose as well, but others may have different experiences.

Agreed Brett
I have two A55s, one Asian style and one Jack plane, which in the HNT Gordon range, is really half way between the two styles. I have not experienced the wedge coming loose, but if anything had more difficulty freeing up the blade. In recent times I have leaned more towards the A55s.

So what are people buying? At the moment I’m thinking a pair of holdfasts and mayyybe a Jack plane. Worried it might overlap with my Veritas low angle jack though and only trying to buy when I actually need something these days. Pretty hard to pass up a 25% discount though [emoji51]

Just reread the first post, is that 20 holdfasts/10 pairs to qualify?
Cheers

Is the HSS that's currently being used the same as that from a while back, i.e. one of the 18% Tungsten alloys?
