Fred, I’ve had the miniature block plane for a number of years and use it regularly for leveling inlay stringing and banding. It works very well. I’d argue it’s not a toy, but a legitimate small plane, but I know what you mean...

It sounds like the router plane is the winner. That is the only one of the miniatures i own and I find it quite useful.

When I build a tray for a jewelry box, I make a small dado and use the "toy" router plane to clean out the dado and make sure the dado is the same depth along its length. It's been very valuable to me. I haven't tried any of the other small tools.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
