Ryobi 18-Volt ONE+ Cordless 3-1/4 in. Planer P611 (Tool Only)(Bulk Packaged)

Husband used this for the detail work on his deck project. Best application was to level a joist that was bowed. Lightweight and easy to maneuver

Would recommend this product. My sticking interior wood door is no-more. However, I didn't mark a plane line on my door corner before I began. I planed some, then some more, then some more to make sure that I had no more sticking door (that's a new poem line). Left or Right discharge chute was simply and convenient. Adjustment knob easy to hold and click, though I left at default setting. Went right to work and never ran out of power with 4aH battery. Re-installed door and good and bad news. The good: definitely no more sticking door. The bad: now one corner is significantly lower than the rest. Careful; it is easy to plane too much too easily. That's a good thing overall though and a lesson-learned.

works great

Never had an electric hand planer before. Came in manufacturers box inside amazon box, able to register via contained info.Much heavier than anticipated but well balanced with battery in place. Works as noted in other reviews. I imagine blade change is similar for all brands as blades fit all similar models. What a hokey system. Loosen three bolts " but not too loose or blade alignment might change" . How loose is too loose? Is this a new technical term ? Instructions also talk about pushing with a screwdriver and beating with wood! Good lord. This is a tool Ryobi. You do not attack it with weapons. Here you go: loosen three bolts, attempts to slide carrier out. If stuck tap front right edge of carrier with small punch. Continue slide out. If bolts catch, loosen more. When out, tap blade held in gloved hand on wood, remove blade, insert new. If really stuck, pry off rear plate of carrier and reinstall. Many vids available. Pictures and text in ryobi instructions not very clear. Tool is top notch otherwise.

While I found this planner to have some limitations, I do like it. The limitation is that the planer's width does not cover the wide portion of a 2x4. It takes two passes to plane a board. With a bit of practice a smooth surface can be obtained. I have a DeWalt surface planer that I used for larger projects, but when just a little bit of touch up is needed, this planer is really good.

This works great: better than expected. I used it to plane the bottom of a hollow door to create space for a throw rug. Much better than trying to cut off such a little slice with a circular saw. It was so much fun to use, I started to look for other things to plane.

This was a great gift for my dad he use it every chance

A great wood planer for small projects. Have used it often mostly on cut tree slabs only wish the battery lasted longer
