What Customers Are Saying

The cordless planer is generally well-received, with users praising its power, performance, and convenience of being cordless. It is capable of producing smooth, precise cuts on a variety of wood types. However, some users have experienced issues with blade alignment and the lack of a dust collection system, which can make the tool messy to use. A small number of users also reported the planer breaking down after a relatively short period of use. Overall, the cordless planer is a capable and versatile tool, though improvements to the blade adjustment and dust management systems could further enhance the user experience.

Very Helpful Tool

Would Recommend

Have always been afraid to even try power planer. Took a chance and very glad I did. Had some boards that needed planing on one side. A thickness planer was way over the top for the job but this tool worked out great. As with any power tool common sense is a must.

Great tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Given to me as a gift and I couldn't be happier. Powerful, precise and smooth operation. I'm actually considering getting a second one so I will have one for rough planning one for finish. Very happy with it. Highly recommend!

Excellent control

Wonderful tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm part of a team that builds houses for Habitat for Humanity. I've found the 20V Max Planer to be extremely useful in the build process and have used it for anything from taking off a protruding top plate to trimming the backs of counter tops to fit to our not quite straight walls. I've also used it in home repairs when we have needed as an example to shim out a window and needed something larger than shims can handle and less than 1 by stock...

Good tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] excellent tool, works very well. light, strong and comfortable. the only negative point I found was the machine did not have an appropriate box. in fact I miss the boxes, almost all the machines do not come with boxes, only bags, which I do not even use.

Very easy to use.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first power planner. I got it to smooth out rough fence pickets, saves me so much time I practically don't have to sand the pickets. Also I'm surprised how nice of a finish is left. It is almost glass like, that said, this tool is battery hungry. I used my 2 amp hour battery at first, I'll killed that battery after doing two 8 ft by 6 in boards both sides though. But after some learning and fine tuning what I was doing I'd get about ...

Up to DeWalt’s standard

Would Recommend

I’ve become a bit of a DeWalt “groupie” after discovering their XR series. This planer is no exception for my high expectations! It’s very maneuverable and excellent with large and small projects. I’m satisfied.

Wonderful ergonomics

Would Recommend

Bought this almost a week ago. Don't know how i ever worked without it. Had install 6 new doors with continuous hinges into old frames set up for full mortise hinges. Needless to the doors didn't fit width wise do to the extra width added by using the continuous hinges. I had discussed this with the project manager months ago but, she insisted it would work because that's what it showed on the print. We all know how nice things look on paper. Anyway having this tool cut my work time down 7 ...

Cannot find dust bag or replacement blades

Would Not Recommend

The instructions caution against using the tool without a dust bag, but it does not come with one and it is not sold on this site or anywhere else that I can find. This lack of parts really diminishes the tools appeal
