Not quite sure how it is that the US aren’t the first to get Dewalt, but …. enjoy!

Great review. I will be purchasing as soon as it becomes available

Oh, forgot to mention. This weekend I’ll be undertaking an 18V planer comparison: Dewalt, Milwaukee, Bosch and Makita 😀

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.

Same! But remember that kit came with 2 5AH batteries. I see the 2 packs of those 5AH batteries for $200

I can’t wait to see that, especially with so many years between the release of some of those tools.

Great review on the Dewalt. It has some impressive power.

Not going to include the Hitachi 18V Planer in the comparison?

I want to, but it’s hard to get samples sometimes.

EDIT: They have sent one, so the Hitachi is in! Game on!

IS IT THE WEEKEND YET!!! 😉

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)
