    The one tool that i always moan about the cable getting trapped is with my old Bosch planer. So when I saw a cordless planer was really interested - until I saw the expected price of the bare unit £167

    My least used tool is possibly my electric planer so buying a cordless one is pointless.

    Its one of the tools that gets a lot of use for a while then gets put a way for months on end.

    Hence when I saw the price of the Dewalt I thought my 10 year old Bosch planner which cost £30 then, has had little use and some abuse will last a while longer

    Engineers get scared by wood and the lack of clamping

    Agree, who needs a planer when you've got a rail saw?

    I think the only thing I use a planer for is the bottom edge of ramps.

    Only for doors - the bane of my life

    Old houses, frames not square, hinge sockets cut too deep, mashed up holes, screw heads snapped off, frames split, people buying cheap doors and leaving doors in damp conditions and then complain because they split or warp.

    just remebered why i dont use the planer much fitting doors in old houses is the pits

    Don't you use it to hang doors? Joiner I had in recently used his quite a lot.

    Nope, it's either the Festool or my block plane.
    Perhaps your joiner is as big an idiot as your plumber, are you all related?
