I have been buying Veritas tools for my 1:1 scale furniture builds for a long time. Mostly wood planes, chisels, sharpeners and other hand tools.
Recently I found out they also have a line of miniature tools. OK, I thought I'd give a few a try. So I ordered their 'miniature' hand plane, chisels, cabinet scraper and spokeshave. Having used them all in my 1:1, I am familiar with their use, the most used are the hand planes and chisels.
I hadn't had these for a month yet and have used them already in my models, which is what I intended them for. The 1/8" chisel came in handy for cleaning out a small trough in a resin casting from Funaro and Carmerlengo. The 2" long plane came in handy for shaving of a sliver of styrene (or is that resin?) from the sides of the floor for the same kit. It worked a charm.
So that being said, I can also attest to the sharpness of these tools, as I had not even put them to a stone (where some other companies have tools that need sharpening as soon as you buy them), and they performed well right out of the box, which is a beautiful box in it's own right, to keep them clean and free from damage.

Nice collection.
