Our take on the RIDGID 18V OCTANE Brushless Cordless 3-1/4 in. Hand Planer (Tool Only) with Dust Bag

The RIDGID 18V OCTANE Brushless 3-1/4 in. Hand Planer is a cordless tool-only planer for trimming doors, fitting boards and chamfering edges on site. Its standout feature is the industry's only adjustable chamfer depth, plus a depth knob with 20 locking positions and dual chip exhaust that can point left or right. With an OCTANE battery it delivers 2.5X the power of the previous model, which helps in hard woods like oak. It suits carpenters and remodelers already on the RIDGID 18V platform; buyers starting fresh must add a battery and charger, which corded planers and kits include.
