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!!

I use them I a few different aspects.

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. Smilie

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!!!
I've planned some subfloor to get a even lay. Bottom or tops of existing old doors that I couldn't fudge anymore. It's a great cheaters tool lol. There's a bunch of things to use it on when you have it. Fake out corners instead of sanding for a while. Anything really.

Milwaukee makes better contractor tools anyway. Those who are in the trades know this. Their 18v fuel line is more powerful than even flexvolt. Their 12v fuel line is as powerful as 20V max. I have both and I build houses. I hate to admit this because I mainly have DeWalt. But for anyone who isn't using their tool to make money, or top speed/power is not priority, DeWalt is already a luxury. Even Ryobi is fine for most people.

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.

Nah im in the trades also difference between Milwaukee and Dewalt is negligble...just all marketing swank..red or yellow is fine..i see more dewalt on the jobs than milwaukee cause batteries can be foind way cheaper

But they are poorer quality. We went to Milwaukee from Hilti and have more failures with Milwaukee. actually, we never had a failure with Hilti.

DeWalt is the last US owned power tool brand in case anyone is wondering. They may only assemble some tools in the US but its the best we got if you are pro USA.

For most "foundational tools" that is true. There are a few more specialty tools that stands out with Milwaukee. E.g. the super sawzall with the right blade can cut through a full structural I-beam on site in a reasonable time. I had to do this for a set of custom stair stringers. I've seen it done even on a W18 structural beam. Yes, it should have been pre fabricated to spec in the shop, or the welder could have done it onsite with a plasma cutter or torch. Or even a grinder. But sometimes you have to make adjustments on the spot and for whatever reason you need a powerful recip saw to cut through beams, the Milwaukee stands heads and shoulders above others in this particular task.

Another example is the super hole hawg. I've not met a plumber who doesn't use the Milwaukee version.

Their M12 fuel surge impact driver, is the only one of that form factor, with the power of an 18V, and the sound level of a hydraulic impact. The specs says otherwise but it does drive lags just as well as most 18V impacts.

Their M12 stubby impact wrenches are also pretty much the only one in those form factors with that level of power.

the Milwaukee battery framing nailer is better also. no lag time before shooting.

I do prefer the DeWalt 4 battery power station that turns just 4 of my DeWalt regular batteries (cheap) into an AC outlet that can power even a worm drive table/chop saw. The Milwaukee version requires their expensive battery which is basically a different ecosystem all together. I give this one to DeWalt!

but I'm talking pretty specific situations here. which only benefit trades people. for anyone else, pick the prettiest color!

Regardless of who owns the majority of the company stock, Milwaukee Tools is still based in Wisconsin and employs thousands of Americans in the Milwaukee area as well as at its manufacturing facilities in Mississippi.

Point is, supporting America is far more complex than just looking at which tool conglomerate owns which tool companies.

Exactly, it's like saying don't support a company because the stock owners are not American. Makes little sense.

Nobody said anything about who owns what stock. DeWalt is the last US based tool manufacturer. Milwaukee outsources production for a majority of their tools to TTI.

I am surprised to see that Milwaukee still has a facility in the US. DeWalt has 7 for comparison.

Milwaukee is owned by the Techtronic tool conglomerate and DeWalt is owned by the Stanley tool conglomerate - but what difference does that really make?

Milwaukee has several facilities in both Wisconsin and in Mississippi. I don't know the specific count off the top of my head, but it's gotta be close to DeWalt's 7, and they are continually expanding their US presence.

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.
Not sure what you are trying to say.

Jointing and flat planing are two different scenarios. As well, there is fitting as a third scenario. If you want to joint with an electric hand planer, you do it the same as with a non electric hand planer. Me, I use a straight edge, draw a line and plane to it.

We have a jointer and a couple of planers, but sometimes, things need to be done by hand.
