Hugh Jass Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 AWESOME review Dwain. Well, except for the separate collection bag, i'm stoked. I was hoping it would be standard to the tool cost as a bare unit, maybe it's different in the US release. Converting your cost for the kit to USD it's about $490. Yowza. Think I'll be considering not doing the full kit on that one, even though in the US it will likely come with either 2 or 4amp and not 5. I'm broke but I need this sooooooooooooooooo bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember that kit came with 2 5AH batteries. I see the 2 packs of those 5AH batteries for $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great review on the Dewalt. It has some impressive power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indoorkite Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Not going to include the Hitachi 18V Planer in the comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to, but it's hard to get samples sometimes. EDIT: They have sent one, so the Hitachi is in! Game on! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwain Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Do you know how big the pile of timber chips on my floor will be, after i totally drain 5 planers with 5 or 6ah batteries in 35mm pine? I'm crying just thinking about it... Oh, and the testing is this weekend. Expect the video a week later or so (Sorry Hugh) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
