This is the best cordless planer ever. Its full if great ideas, the design team in on top of their game. The octane power is amazing and not the first or last octane tool I will have. First the handle is extremely comfortable and the controls are right where they are needed and the Reversible dust bag with switch to left or right is extreamly nice and helps with the clean up and the fact it has not only a Easy to change belt the blades are also presharpened on both sides so if you are on a job and need sharpened blades just remove them and turn them around. Also they appear to be the same blade as other ridgid planer so replacement should be easy to find and the adjustment is from 0″ to 1/8″. And the Easy to replace belt with a nice window to see the belt for inspection so you don’t get in the middle of a job and have the belt break this allows you to have a tool on the job that will not be out of service when you need it. It also has a Nice adjustable edge guide can be flipped over for storage and a nice guide on the bottom for chamfering corners. And to protect the blade it had a automatic kick stand to help prevent blade damage. The On board hex key storage (pretty much the hex key does it all) keeps the most needed tool for repair and adjustment close at hand. This is a must have tool.

Very good for quick planning of smaller projects, I was able to do a whole countertop 30”x 72” with ease it just took two batteries, which was expected

This new Ridgid planer is unlike any other cordless tool I have ever used. From the easy to use adjustment knob with its swiss clock-like precision, to the switchable exhaust port, there is a no design feature that was left unfinished. The new sleek design provides great balance and ample power that helps it glide through the work material. Overall I am overwhelmed with joy over this new planer. It has been something I have been in need of for a long time.

Great product. Works as well as a corded, but you have the freedom to move around without being plugged in.

I love my new Octane Planner, its easy to use and surprisingly you can use it on hardwoods like Oak and Walnut with no issues. It has the usual great qualities as other Rigid tools, its comfortable to use, the ease of making adjustments and with having the dust collector go on either side is a new added bonus that I wish some of my other tools had. I had to plan down 10 old antique doors to make them fit into a new home and with using the 9 amp battery i never had to change the battery and it still had 50% of it charge. I would recommend this tool to anyone who has the use for it, another Rigid winner.

Does what I need. I’d give it 5 stars but the dust collection bag keeps falling off

This works great. I have used it several times and I am impressed with the power. I had a sticky door in my shop, made two passes over the sticky area. Now it closes perfectly.

Great tool. Plenty of power with larger ah battery.

I’ve used this many times since I purchased it. It has great power for a cordless tool. I’ve milled oak, ash, maple and walnut without any issues. the left or right side dust collection option is a great feature.
Josefina Kertzmann (verified owner) –
this planer has quite a bit of power and is very adjustable and accurate. i especially love the ability to put the dust collection bag or hose on either side of the tool when walking it along a long piece. the dust collection is impressive with only the bag, but with a vacuum attached is virtually dust free. I also like the retractable kickstand that allows me to set the tool down on my work piece without the blades touching the wood. you can use it with a regular 18 volt Ridgid battery, but when used with the octane battery the difference is noticeable, especially in terms of battery life.

I’ve purchased a number of rigid tools for the warranty. That being said with each purchase I have had some difficulty with the warranty registration, requires perseverance to get the issue resolved. I found the tool itself very good, the starter battery does not last very long but if have three batteries so it isn’t a big problem. If purchasing you might want to consider purchasing two batteries.rigid tools for their warranty,

Works great, you have to play with the depth gauge to get it dead on, but works great.

Looks nice, but the adjustment knob isn’t calibrated right. I also kept getting snipe when I used it. Not impressed.

Lightweight tool but not holding back on the power, especially when paired with an Octane battery. Chip bag is a bit bulky and in the way but it works surprisingly well and is great for indoor use. I typically use this planer for door and window installs and it is fantastic…best feature, no cord!
