Bosch 12 Volt Cordless Planer: Toolsday

[@timh7156]

Can’t believe all the the negative comments. Been a carpenter, builder, remodeler since 1977. I can’t tell you how many times I wish there was something like this that could easily be held with one hand that wasn’t a block plane. I love this thing. So easy to control. On the rare occasion I need something more I’ll grab my corded Maita. But usually this all I need to plane a little off a door or gate. And I usually don’t need to figure out a way to clamp the door or work piece because my other hand is free.

[@tuankiettran3733]

I read the entire Ryan's kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.

[@lornesteed2417]

Well Kyle, as a retired painter of 45 years, I can't tell you how many times I wished the darn drywallers would have had a handy planer like that to fix bad spots in the framing before they drywalled it and made the bulge or blemish permanent. Everyone is in a hurry these days and these bad areas snowball and by the time they get down to the painter, there is often little we can do to fix things. I admire your attitude immensely. OCD goes a long way to building a top notch business.

[@MAGAMAN]

" wished the darn drywallers would have had a handy planer like that to fix bad spots in the framing before they drywalled it and made the bulge or blemish permanent" You really think they would do that? Easier to just blame it on the framers if anyone complains, especially today where half the people in construction have very little skill or experience and almost no training. My dad is a retired painter also and he went through the whole apprenticeship thing that doesn't really seem to exist anymore.

[@mikewiebe4598]

Bosch sent me out one too... and i now use it on every job site. Doing cabinets and a lot of floating shelves and mantles, i scribe everything with it. Great little tool!

[@robertrusso5525]

These are great for deck building. Prior to installing the decking you snap a chalk line from sill to rim and you can see which boards are high and which are low. Run the planer over the high spots for a dead flat deck. You'll be happy you took the time.

[@cjjack-qk9qp]

Kyle great video, lets face the facts anyone with a thumbs down on this video is probably a hack that has never done frame to finish. As a builder of frame to finish of new homes, the small details like this pays big dividends when it comes to finish work. You are truly at the top of post frame building, your fit and finish is second to none. I always tell my guys pay attention to details and those details will always take care of you with repeat costumers. P.S. i will have that cordless planner tomorrow!!!

[@zfilmmaker]

That shop and the rolling cabinets are super fly!

[@RRBuildings]

Levrack... and yes they are sweet

[@stevenschmelling5597]

Upping the production value on this one. Looked, edited, and sounded great. Keep up the great work.

[@RRBuildings]

thanks Steven

[@mattnixon7728]

I have one that I mostly use to plane salvage doors when installing in rental units. Works great! Recommend higher amp hour battery though.

[@sc0368]

I like this small 12v planer.... There were times I didn't need the big planer. It's great for shaving off doors

[@ddforrester]

I can see this being very handy for cabinet sets. Thanks for the video Kyle.

[@Ratheon1075]

I use the Dewalt 20v cordless version. A bit heavier and slightly larger than the one in the video. Works great when doing replacement windows and doors and you need to shave a little off to true things up. Also works great on custom cabinet installs when you need to trim a little to get the cabinets to fit. While I would much prefer my joiner the amount of time and wages I save by having one of these in the truck makes it pay for itself. It's one of those tools you didn't know you had a use for until you have one and then you are finding all kinds of things you can use it for. While I wouldn't call it a great planer compared to what we have in our shop it gets the job done. Consider this....installing cabinets between two walls and your cabinets are 1/2 inch oversized for the space...Pay your workers to load said cabinets back into the trailer, haul to shop, trim to proper size, load back up and take to job site and install. Easily over $100 in wages, fuel, etc. or...go grab the cordless planer and take a light pass on each cabinet frame....what 10 minutes in wages maybe?

[@bigdog8891]

I have a Dewalt 20v Planer, DCP580B. If you don’t have one of these, no matter what manufacturer, it is a must have. I own a couple of properties here in the Boston area. On one I was replacing a storm door on the back porch. For some reason when it was built, the door frame at the top was sloped and made out of a 3” x 3”. The is a 100 year old house. To square the jam so I could install the top trim, I need to remove about 5/16 from the outer edge to the middle on a slope. I thought about how I was going to do it. I thought about the planer, decided to give it a try and it worked flawlessly. It took me longer to build staging over the steps than it took to plane the wood. I did it by planning across the header. I love cordless tools. I have full set of Dewalt. I started acquiring them when the 20v models started coming out. My next purchase will be great 20v hand held router

[@Michael-0000]

Great review! I’ve started buying the 12v Bosch Professional range for DIY use. As a professional builder doing heavy duty carpentry you have demonstrated the value of these small but powerful tools. Although not in the league of the 18V or 20V cordless tool, they occupy a niche area when it comes to ease of use and where light, compact tools are adequate for the job.

[@sparksmcgee6641]

I thought that and now i just use my "baby" 12v tools. Get more in a bag and theyre as powerfull as the fuul sized ones i started with 20 years ago.

[@alexlew5039]

I’m getting one of these ASAP . I do a lot of wooden doors on old houses . This is amazing.

[@xenaco]

One of my regular KZbin channels is "Tips from a Shipwright" and the hand planer is one of his most used and favorite tools. There is great need to plane wooden planks and other parts for wooden ship building. This would be an ideal tool.

[@dokmanian]

you know for its size and it being 12 Volt that is a great tool for small quick jobs like for a door beats taking out the corded one thank you for review

[@mikemarriam]

You know, my first impression was, yup, what would I ever use that for? But the thing does seem to have some balls and ya, there's been times when I wish I could have straightened up the end of a 2 x 4 and that would have come in handy. Thanks for the video.

[@RRBuildings]

That’s how I looked at it. Surprising

[@jleigh330]

I like the fact it's so small but she sure does sound like she is working hard even on 0.4 never heard my 20v dewalt even slow down, even on harder woods. I never carry mine around much it lives in a tool bag covered by a soft blanket but is always close by, I don't want to scratch the base. So true once you have one it just allows you make those slight adjustments to things that seperate you from the pack. Thanks for sharing. Love your attitude. Jealous of your shop!.... Someday!

[@therealderjett]

This just shows how far battery powered tools have come. Thanks for showing this one off. I am looking at some minor remodeling and a shed build this year and this looks like one I may invest in. Thank you.

[@chronixalin]

Try the 4 or 6 Amp battery. The tool gets more power due to the 2 layer cells. I’m using it and it’s another world. Nice video. ✌🏻

[@leonardorojas1781]

chronixalin Great to know! Please make a video on a comparison of the performance of this tool with each battery pack! I've just ordered a couple of 6Ah 12v batteries! Now I just need the planer!

[@GregBrecker]

That is so cool, so easy, so light weight!

[@dannywilsher4165]

I think I will get one of those for my wife.... Shorten her cheese shredding time!!!

[@ptrudel90]

Perfect for small adjustments on doors

[@RRBuildings]

Yes

[@christofix]

that looks like an awsome tool. It is small, light and easy to handle

[@markfritz315]

This is a neat little hand plane. I use the Bosch 10.2/12v line in my shop so I have the batteries already. I saw this in the store, but maybe I need to look closer at it now. Thank You.

[@jameshalleron7484]

Thanks for showing this planner. I am a Bosch guy and have alot of their 12 volt tools. I buy mine at CPO Recon and save a boatload of mula! Thanks again.

[@thnksno]

As a collector of analog hand planes, some being unique. I use a hand plane maybe once every 9 years.

[@madman432000]

You've really cleaned up the shop since the tour video, it looks great! :-D

[@jmonsted]

I find it hilarious that people complain about a toolsday video being about a tool.

[@RRBuildings]

Yeah I really don’t get it?? Every week I talk about a tool..... unsponsored talk just my opinion.... yes it’s usually positive.... because it’s tools I use.... want to hear someone talk crap about a tool... go watch ave. That’s not my game. I’m just here to share what I use and why

I just ordered a couple of 6Ah 12v batteries! Now I just need the planer! 😃 I know I need it! Cheers from Peru!!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Like somebody else mentioned, I was thinking it would be good for tweaking doors that might have become misaligned in their openings due to settling and also for fitting new doors to old/existing structure that may not be perfectly square.

[@halbritt]

Wooden boat builders would really dig this.

[@hallowed45]

i used my Ridgid cordless planer on doors for years...if i was still doing that work i for sure would try that new Bosch

[@RRBuildings]

Great idea too

[@adrianhanson9584]

Looks like the ultimate scribing tool!

[@markodjukic7666]

Great shot at the end in slo-mo with the shaving going aerial. 😊

[@slhasebroock]

I have this planer and love it. I also have other 12 volt Bosch tools that I use everyday in my shop. Drill, driver, with multiangle heads, router, jig saw and the planer. I am amazed at the runtime and power out of this 12 volt platform. Bottom-line love the size, weight and just how handy they are. Doesn't replace the power of the 18v line, but use one or more of them everyday.

[@RRBuildings]

Not at all 18volt is much more powerful but for the 12volt system it’s amazing

[@slhasebroock]

@@RRBuildings And I am sure you know, but they have 3, 4 and 6 Ah batteries for the 12 volt system. The 3 Ah being the small one which I find to be plenty of runtime for how I use them.

[@johnnyappleseed1387]

I think it’s pretty useful you wouldn’t know how many things you would use it on jobs until you started using it though

[@bklyn2va2dc]

I built a porch over my deck some years ago and I created my beam using 3 2x12s nailed together. Looked perfect until it was time to put my trim on the underside of the beam. The trim would not lay flat because the beam was off just a bit like in your video example. I was so tired and worn out and didn’t know how to fix it that I put the trim on anyway, and it’s bugged me ever since. Thanks to your video I now know what to do to fix it. I’ll remove the trim and plane down the 2x12s until they are flush with each other and reattach the trim. Thanks so much for posting!!

[@thomassullivan6016]

Sharp 1 1/2 " chisel 👍 solves alot of problems friend

[@martyn1678]

i like how its one handed operation meaning it gives you the opportunity to run over your other hand that you have in front holding the wood, allowing you to get really intimate with the tool 😱. i can see this tool causing alot of pain

Am gonna use mine to remove material on bottom of post where the brakets go, and you have to wrap the bottom with a decorative board

[@allan64027]

Cool tool. Nice ending. Lol. I had the impression the base was sticking a lot on the wood, maybe waxing would help.

[@sonnybeltran7096]

Very nice! 👍🏼

[@gungadinn]

If you ever get tired of post frame building Sargento and Kraft have got openings for people to make shredded cheese. Bosch a few years back changed their nomenclature for this line of tools from 10.8v to 12.0 volt. Nothing different than instead of using the nominal voltage of the in series batteries to using the charged voltage. Basically the same thing that B&D and DeWalt do to get 20 volts verses the rest of industry that offers 18 volt. The two best tools in this Bosch line are the screw gun and the right angle drill driver. They’re small but mighty.

[@januarymorris9087]

Neat tool, I think I would buy one if Milwaukee made one. I'd like to see a tools day on cordless routers

[@BrentWolff]

I have had a Ryobi 18V version for many years. It comes in handy on all sorts of projects. I could see buying a replacement if Milwaukee made a Fuel M12 or M18 version. I don't need yet another battery platform.

[@kenwolfe6093]

Awesome! Wax that shoe so it doesn’t get stuck so much.

[@johnnyappleseed1387]

Side note put some beeswax (or some ballistol if you don’t mind doing it more often) on the shoe of the planer and it will glide like a dream across your lumber

[@mrbigberd]

The 2mm setting requires a 6ah battery to use properly. The extra battery cells allow it to keep up with the ampacity draw.

[@aaronwidder9624]

Great vid Kyle! I love your Occidental Leather fatlip bags man! Everyone asks me about my RR hat that I bought, and I tell them to go to your YT channel!

[@daleon96]

Good for door installation

[@davidholmes3776]

This is on my list. I’d use it for truing guitar necks to fretboards. The only 12v Bosch tool without enough power imo is the router.

[@jmert_5859]

You should've done the Milwaukee cordless vacuum after this episode.

[@BZ1340]

I wonder application wise whether it would be applicable to shaving down laminate countertops for fitting to uneven walls.

[@noconz0727]

I wonder who this tool is really made for or what trade would be excited about it.

[@Squat5000]

This would be cool to see driven by a DeWalt 60V (ish) battery. The tool seems useful got certain cases. Precision during finishing details is what sets the different apart between craftsman and contractor. Plenty of people can slap a job together. Few, and fewer year on year, are able to do these detail finishes

[@regopit44]

I know that I love my Milwaukee M18 planner

[@MikeBramm]

I can see the need for this. You get some newb that installs a twisted stud in a wall and the drywall guy needs to flatten the corner of that stud so his drywall will lay flat. Also, sometimes you might be in a tight place where getting a standard plane in there might be difficult to do.

[@jippys1]

The wood shredding would be good for fire starter for a fire pit.

[@AcHNoT]

Try it out with a 4 or 6 AH battery. For some reason that helps when taking those deep passes.

[@brianczarnowsky9853]

I see that you have different brands of power tools. Milwaukee, Hitachi, mikaita AMD probably others. But my question for you is what is your preferred brand of power tools? Like the basic stuff. Drill, impact, sawzall, circular saw etc.

we are doing the same job and I see that the three tools you use for the video are all different and this means different batteries and chargers wich is kind of pain. the battery tools that I have are all bosch 18v and all the tools that share the same battery and charger. Dont not you think this is more correct
