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.

So far so good. Used it on 3 different projects. Plenty of power. Love the chamfer depth settings. Very convenient.

I had always used a hand planer for fitting doors but I had a door fit issue that needed a lot of work to get it right so I invested in this tool, which so far has done a great job. It plows through work that would have taken me a long time with a hand planer. Love that I can buy the tool without the battery and charger (which I already have).

This tool rocks. From chamfering an edge to flattening an edge to a face, it has plenty of power and capability to achieve both. I love this tool and highly recomend it

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!

Planer works great; however, do not know why it is taking so long to get the LSA on this item. Purchased item online from you guys. Order Number WA47269980, DatedFeb 5, 2019?

This planer is very easy to use and has plenty of power. The depth is easy to adjust with the front knob and you can really take off material in a hurry if needed. One cool feature is the dust collection. You can switch the bag or vacuum hose to either side of the tool!

plenty of power, planing ,60 PT southern pine lumber. Eats a bit of battery juice, but works well and convenient when you don’t have A/C power available.

Excellent tool. Used it to trim a new door slab to fit jamb. Practice made perfect with very tiny cut to begin with.
Berniece Wintheiser (verified owner) –
I used mine to plane some plywood. It’s easy to operate and has plenty of power. You can also use it to chamfer corners easily instead of using a router
