Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT XR 3.25-in W 20-volt max Handheld Planer

Disappointed

Not happy that the dustbag was not included. Did not say anything in the owners manual. Had to do a deep dive into this web site before I found out that this wasn't included.

Dewalt Planer

I recommend this planer, works really well. Cuts real smooth

not needed

My wife got this as a buy one get one free item. I was not in the need for the planer, so we returned it for the Dewalt cordless 20v lithium ion shop vac. which i love.

Works fine with caveat

I have a lot of 20v Dewalt tools. When it came time to trim some doors the wife insisted on this was a no brainer purchase. My only disappointment was the chamfer feature With it set on zero depth it still cut a too wide chamfer. That needs reviewed or add the smaller grooves as seen on other dewalt planers. OH, and you will want to use this outside. It throws some serious quantity of chips. It did not come with a simple chip bag which I think is an oversight by the bean counters. A b...

Awesome tool

This one of the best tools I have ever bought. It was well worth the money I paid for it. I used it to trim down my wooden screen doors and the job was quicker that I thought it would be. Paid for itself the two times I used it. You will love the way it works

I wish I would have bought this long ago

There have been several instances in the past few months during a house remodel that I wished I knew someone nearby with a planer, then just happened to see this one on display and my wife let me get it. It's smooth, efficient and one of the handiest tools every DIYer should add to their arsenal! Now I'll be looking for projects that require a planer.

Light and Powerful

I have wanted this tool for years but just got around to it. I looked at lots of reviews and settled on the Dewalt and am so glad I did. It is easy to use and zipped through my first job with ease. I love it.

Great Planer

I am definitely a fan of Dewalt's XR series. I bought this planer to make a custom door threshold out of an oak board. Planed the tapered edges in about fifteen minutes. Fantastic tool!

Great Tool

Excellent for smoothing roughness out of the pallet boards I use a lot of on crafts.

Fun and easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So glad I bought this planner. I read a lot of reviews and was worried the battery would be an issue. It is not. The battery last long enough for what I use it for. Love it. It is simple and easy to use. I used the guide and that was good. Love it.

Didn’t realize how much I needed it until I had it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this at a local DeWalt tool special. I build, finish and install custom cabinets. I use this planer every single day. I’m impressed with the ease it cuts through materials. No cords, batteries last days for me, lightweight and accurate.

Excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to plane down some joists on a porch that were milled abnormally. This thing did the job and did it well. No bogging down even on the deepest setting and no clogs in the dust port. If this one ever dies I’ll buy another.

Easy to use!! Powerful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this planer to add to my 20V tools. I was worried it would not have enough power but I was wrong. It is a great hand planer. I had two other corded planers I sold as this is the only one I use now. Easy controls, light weight, plenty of run time, and good power! It continues to give me high respect for my 20V DeWalt line.... I have my eye on a few more 20v replacements for some of my corded tools. I doubt I will ever buy a ...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i carry this anytime im doing maintenance, especially on doors. its great to have around and i can use it without a cord.

Great tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes it extremely easy to Round off the edges and straighten the edge of the board if Warped

Great tool, but lacks accuracy

I have had this tool for almost a year now. It runs great with plenty of power and run time on it's brushless motor, but the only thing keeping it at an average rating, for me, is the fact that the blades are hard to align (impossible for me). I purchased the tool new and used it on some smaller stock, but recently I have been working wider stock that will not fit through my stationary planer and discovered the blades were out of alignment. I tried using the plastic alignment tool and that didn'...

Great product Dewalt as always!!! But my only grip is no storage bin or case for it. Almost 200$’s, the corded option had a case for it. Jusy saying. Needles to say I would buy it again. Keep doing what ya’ll been doin’

I'm giving it four out of five because it didn't come with a dust bag. works well with a 8AH battery and does what it's supposed to

Nice Planer Should have come with a dust bag.

Nice Planer For the price it should have come with a dust bag.
