RIDGID….18 volt octane Cordless Brushless 31/4″Hand Planer I purchased this planer as a (Tool Only) Since I already had a couple of 6Ah Batteries on hand. Well this planer is going to take some getting use to. It is light weight, compact, powerful and is very easy to operate with some practice. It can be adjusted from 1/64th to 5/64 for Planing and from 1/32 to 5/32 to chamfer an edge and the Kickstand is a cool feature it pivots automatically when you set the planer down. I don’t think I would be using this planer daily but when I do need it it will come in very handy This is a well engineered tool and works with any Ridgid 18 volt battery

Eff’n AWESOME!

Exceeded expectations. This little planer is lightweight and powerful. I am surprised by how precise this is and how easily it removes even old hard wood. Have used it multiple times on doors for trimming and it saves so much time and effort. Easy to maneuver and I love having no cord. This is a great addition to the 18V Octane line.

This tool was easy to use

very happy with my purchase haven’t used it much but did try it on a project i needed to reduce the thickness and it worked like a champ clean and very smooth to the touch will say I’m happy!

Looks nice, but the adjustment knob isn’t calibrated right. I also kept getting snipe when I used it. Not impressed.
Brady Hane (verified owner) –
This is a great 3Ah battery and I like it that you can use bluetooth.
Sienna Hills (verified owner) –
This power planer is excellent in general, and the ability to dial in the planing depth by less than 1/128 inch makes it very adaptable to your project. The only shortcoming is that the collection bags fills very quickly when planing deep, but then a large bag on this smaller tool would probably just be in the way. Ridgid is making some solid “pro-sumer” cordless 18V tools and Home Depot is setting up great deals to purchase them.

It gets the job done , a little heavier than the previous model but with much more power
Carrie Kohler (verified owner) –
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.
Dallas Davis (verified owner) –
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).
Kade Lakin (verified owner) –
Great planner…everything I had hoped it would be.
Keaton Fritsch (verified owner) –
Perfect tool to plane precise spots or the entire board. Bigger dust port needed for extracting the large pieces of wood being produced.
Isabell Abbott (verified owner) –
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.

I have almost the entire RIDGID set. I have started buying the drills and saw as gifts for friends. The batteries last, the tools have great power and the batteries are frequently interchangeable. Love RIDGID!
Amie Koelpin (verified owner) –
One of my batteries that came with my drill that I purchased in 2014 died so I needed a replacement. This one has much longer better life than the older model. I will probably never use the Bluetooth feature and the App for my iPhone so I can monitor the battery like on my phone. Who does that?
Kathleen Zboncak (verified owner) –
Bluetooth makes it easy to check on the Charging.

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
