Built for the job site

A unique air tool, engineered to last.

Foam trimming demands a very specific air tool: tough enough for the construction site, yet light and simple enough that anyone can run it. Tool-hardened blades, a machined aluminum body, and minimal downtime are what made the QuickPlane the go-to for planing polyurethane and soft foam.

It's proven across countless applications — from new residential construction to reefer trailers and everything in between. Every wear part is replaceable, so the tool keeps earning for years.

Our Story

Carrying the standard forward.

For more than three decades, Dan Jansen built the QuickPlane into the tool foam-insulation contractors trust — one honest, American-made air tool at a time. As Dan steps into a very well-earned retirement, we want to say it plainly: thank you, Dan. The reputation you built is the reason this tool has a next chapter.

QuickPlane is now owned and operated by QP Tools LLC. Nothing about what made the tool great changes — the same virtually unbreakable blades, the same sturdy aluminum build, the same made-in-the-USA quality and hands-on service. We're proud to keep the standard exactly where Dan set it, and to keep it running strong for the contractors who depend on it.
