“Worthwhile upgrade for me being a chippy. I have the brushed version but wanted this as rebate cuts are possible and the bag can be put on either side. It’s a bit heavier than the original 18v but feels well made and planes very nicely and accurately. Overall I’m pleased with my purchase.”

“This planer is simply awesome. The sustained power is incredible and the automatic torque increase passing over harder wood is impressive to say the least. On the flip side reducing the blade depth for minimum reduction is where it really impresses. Easy to control and easy to maintain reducing thickness it is a real game chamger for 18v planers.”

“Like other products in the Makita brushless range this not only offers outstanding batterty life but also works better at its function than many others: it leaves the timber almost completely flat without the pronounced scallop marks apparent with many other planers”
