got a CCC alert it was $137 yesterday (now $143) from Toolup via Amazon. But I've had issues with Toolup in the past.
It can also be bought via Prime for $149, so I put that link here as it is a safer path for the $7 difference.
in terms of the planer, it's a decent one. I am a "Dewalt guy" (since Dewalt is my most owned tool) but in terms of cordless hand planers (and all cordless woodworking tools, like palm routers, etc), I am a Makita (orBosch) guy.
So I figured I'd post this here if anyone wanted one. it's about as low a price as I've seen for the solo tool.
Good luck! And may your boards be free of chatter!!

For instance, about 2 weeks ago I got a good amount of water damage to an outside door (hurricanes) and it made one of the jams swell up horribly. And with the price of lumber, I decided to just shave it down, and reseal it until the wet season passes (around November) and/or it cools off a bit (around the new year lol).
I've also used these on my hardwood flooring. It's Florida... nothing will stop my shop flooring from welling up on the edges where my boards join... so I I figured I have 3" thick solid wood flooring, so I just flattened it, and resealed it.
Lasty, and this is my favorite use, is for when my workbench is beaten to death. I can shave off ⅛" from it every few years and make it look as good as new. Plus I don't need to redo the dogholes, or remount and of my vises. I can also use it to shave down my old leg vises, and tops of my wagon vises, and make them look as good as the day I built them.
You might think "Wait, how thick is your bench??" And then answer is what I was told when I built it "Too damn thick". Lol. But I'm a sucker for castle joints, and I want my workbench to outlast the Great Pyramid lol. (Plus I had a small mountains worth of bowling alley lanes at my disposal back then... and when you get thick hardwoods that have aged that well, you keep that for yourself.
So for fine, or finish woodworking... they are adequate for many tasks... but my $$$ maker when using them, is in making aged barn beams. (Mugatu voice) Barn beams are soooo hott right now!!! And people will throw money at you to make them. It's ridiculous... but I'm just the builder, and I make what the client wants. 😀
My name is IncompletePerfect , and thanks for coming to my TedTalk lmao!!!

Most anyplace you would use a larger hand plane.... If you set up a jig, you can even do table tops or anything too large for a stationary planer. That said, like with most sanding jobs, I have never needed one where there was not a power source and use the corded Makita that new, has become expensive. I see no reason to wear out batteries when a cord is readily available with more power.
I'd advise against using a cordless planer to make a jointer with... I made that mistake, and it will haunt me forever lol.
The on/off factor.
The safety lever thingy needing to be pressed in order for the trigger to be turned on.
Battery... changing it is a nightmare.
For a "jointer" build with a hand planer, you want corded for a quick on/off toggle. (I zip tied the trigger, and have all my outlets setup with wireless and it's the greatest thing ever. I just say "Alexa. Jointer on." And Alexa says "Get up and do it yourself you fat @&$%!!! Or buy an Amazon hub if you want a something named Alexa to yell at, and not have it beat the ever loving 💩 out of you!!! " I should've never married a woman named Alexa. My luck, she leaves me and I fall for a woman named Spotify or Google. Lol. (Sorry, just felt the need to throw a total unbelievable BS story out there for boredom.)
Either way, you definitely want to avoid a cordless.
We've had this for almost a year now. I also have their top tier thickness planer (different beast entirely, also many times more expensive and truly amazing) and can say both are 10/10 for their roles.
Price:
I got DeWalts newest flagship hammer drill, a fast charger (retails about $80), an 8aH battery, DeWalt tool bags, and this with it's guard for $300. To me that was a really really fantastic deal. If you can wait until Lowes/Home Depot roles out their sales again, you might be able to get one.. if I evenly split everything, I think this would come out to maybe $80? I cant do the math right now but regardless, even cheaper than this.
If you don't need a bundle like I got or cant wait, I truly think DeWalt in general is excellent. I see their tools all the time on YouTube channels, woodworking magazines, construction sites, etc. They're a bit cheaper than Milwuakee and not sold out to a holdings group based in China, they're still completely American owned which is such a nice bonus when going into a battery eco system. Outside of DeWalt, Makita to me is the runner up. Excellent price point, excellent quality, large lineup. Milwaukee if you want to support a Chinese based holdings group and you really like red.. and want to pay more than DeWalt (frankly their tools do look a bit nicer but not worth the trade off)
As a lifelong (primarily) Dewalt guy, the past few years have broken my heart for the Yellow and black.
I always seen Makita better overall, but at a higher price. I have a couple Milwaukee, but I hardly ever use them.
As of now, in the Big Box 4, I'd say it's Makita, in the leaf, but with a surprisingly new role for 2nd place, for Bosch. Since Bosch recently fixed their batteries, they've been much more appealing. Their corded tools were always great, but the batteries made their cordless tool 💩. And , sadly unlike Dewalt, they are putting practical new things out there. Where Dewalt has had a bad streak in "advancing" their line.
With that said, I don't care what place a tool is from. I want the best tools I can get for a good value. The day of "American craftsmanship " has come and gone on many items. We are a global economy whether we like it or not. But, that was inevitable. Companies want to make the most money they can, so they eventually move overseas, or use "Global Materials" lol. So we really can't escape it. But there are still a couple good US items I use, but from China, to Japan, to Italy, to Germany, to Mexico, they are all the best value for that tool... but none of my power tools are truly American.
Hopefully Stanley B&D starts putting some fresh ideas out there for Dewalt. But as long as people stay blindly loyal, they will not need to. They screwed the pooch on Atomic, and a Bluetooth setup. Their last good idea was when they came out with Flexvolt... but they then 💩on that with the Flex Advantage.
You know what dewalt needs??? A handheld planer with a helix blade!!! They could take my money all day on that one!!! Lol.

Jokes aside I will probably use it to reclaim some large beams and posts after getting my deck rebuilt.
This is the video I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3pQplY
Craftsman makes a great one too!
It does exactly that perfectly. I used to use circular saws for new door slabs but now I use electric planers.
Especially a great tool when you need to take width off the door fast. You usually have to skim 1/8 or so wide off. Mark your line and plane to the line.

If DeWalt can handle a property with 42 trees, a large lakefront, constant repairs and upgrades arround the property than I'm more than happy, especially at the price point.
Their pole saw is amazing, lightweight, affordable, cuts through oak with no problem. 42 trees I have to keep trimmed up. 42. Most properties will have 2 big trees at most. I have 42. It has never failed me and I get no fatigue from it at all due to how lightweight yet strong it is.
My woodworking and CNC'ing, I have never once had an issue, I've only been impressed time after time.
The property in general, I have my neighbors that like to buy the highest end powertools they can find yet when they see my little battery operated DeWalt or EGO tool doing the same thing their gas powered commercial grade tools can do, they literally have to come talk to me about it lol.
I think anyone that is loyal to a corporation is a fool. I also think people who go out of their way to pour salt on a company that's overall doing fantastic is also a fool. DeWalt works for me, if not I would go with Makita. I don't like Milwuakee because of their sellout to the Chinese but I don't hate them either.
The Brits ceded the territory to China, with a proviso of independence for 50 years. If there's anyone you should be mad at, it's the UK, not Milwaukee Tools.
Huh?? ESL maybe?

don't get bogged down by brands if you are not a tradesman. go for the ecosystem with the most options in terms of tools you want to use, which for most people is likely Ryobi.
