 Value Substitute for Dewalt 680 May 17, 2004

I used my friends Dewalt 680 planer for a couple of jobs and liked its small size/weight and features. I didn't like its $150 price. So I went looking for and alternative and found this Black and Decker at Sears for $69.99 w/case and extra blades. It looks and performs like the Dewalt but at half the price and w/case, extra blades and wrench(uses dewalt blades), edge guide, dust bag, and vacumn attachment accessories.The only differences I noticed is the rear shoe is a steel plate instead of cast. The front plate (adjustable for plane depth like Dewalt's) is cast aluminum like dewalt. Also, Dewalt has a
guard lever on its rear shoe that drops down to protect blade when setting planer down on its shoe after use. I actually found
this lever to be a pain when using the Dewalt because it would not always drop down when done with a plane, and it was in the way when you wanted to begin a plane run in the middle of a piece. I was very impressed with this find and satisfied with this planer and its accessories so far.
great value - nice package!!! April 23, 2004

after looking at the cost/benefits of the various planers out there, i realized that i really didn't need anything too fancy so i got this to get me through a trim job i'm in the middle of. all i can say is wow. for about $70 you get a very smooth running plane that comes equipped with a dust bag that actually works, a vacuum attachment, two extra reversable blades and a case. it comes with a rip fence but it seems pretty hokey and i wouldn't put too much faith in it. the adjustment knob has very nice detents in it that makes setting the depth a breeze. dont be scared away by the cheap price, this is a very good deal.

i bought this planer to trim down some exterior doors and it worked great. I've used it on several other projects since then and it has been excellent.
Wish I had this before... February 16, 2010

Before I purchased this power planer I used a hand planer to shave down high spot on 2x4 before installing drywall, it cost me about $35 for the hand planer, and it gets difficult when you hit a knot. Then I found this planer for about $65 and it gets the job done in couple seconds compares to hours, it ran through the knot like it's not even there! Not only it's quick, the finish is impressively smooth too. For those (like me) thinking about getting a hand planer just for couple small jobs, the extra $30 is definitely worth it, plus the replacement blades are cheaper than the ones for hand planer.
 Great tool for the price!! March 7, 2010

I needed a power planer to shave off some wood off a gate that had swollen due to rain, but did not want to spend a lot of money for a tool that would be used just occasionally. I was skeptical of this tool due to the price compared to others costing much more, but decided to take a chance. Long story short, the Black & Decker did a great job. Within a few minutes I shaved off just enough for the gate to close without having to take it off it's hinges. Nice and level cut, easy adjustment of depth of cut. Glad I took a chance.
