Just a note, been a woodworker all my life, I prefer the planes from Lie-Nielsen [0]. Sure, the low angle jointer from LV has some interesting features, but I feel like the LN are just more well made. Also, Lie NIelsen is just a one guy owned company in Maine, so you are buying from a guy who has a foundry in the states, which is pretty cool.
On the other hand, the LV / Veritas bench vices are supposed to be top notch.
LN and LV have said they are not in competition with each other - anyone who buys from one will be happy and soon looking for another tool and likely to look at the other. They are in competition with the cheap tools that don't work as anyone who buys them will find a new hobby.
