Straight to the point, learnt a lot in 11 mins, no BS. Thanks Matt. Purchased the 18 volt cordless today ands works a treat.

[@Speedslays]

Do you still use this 18v tool today ? How was the build quality

[@juliusjanardhanseptimus352]

Thank you very much. Retired and trying to occupy time with things I always thought of doing but never had the time. Saw a planer on sale and before buying, thought I would educate myself on the technics. You gave me a good idea on how to handle one. The do's and don'ts. Your video was excellent in that you explained and followed up with a demonstration of what you meant. Keep up the good work.

[@southernblueblood5402]

Thank you for a short simple video on the use of this tool, no long rambling tangents. Just the information that's useful, so am subscribing to your channel.👍

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Hey! Thanks for subscribing! And thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!

[@sogood9125]

Awesome! I just bought that same planer the other day to use on our interior doors. Really easy to use, but I was wondering why the edges weren’t coming out even. You explained everything. Thank you!

[@ShamirAjate]

Man, this video was crazy informative!!! Thank you for the contribution, I'm sure it's helped alot of people like myself that were confused gouging wood and misusing the tool. Like the saying goes "You don't know what you don't know, so start learning".

[@artmont2551]

Just received this planer for Xmas. This video was very helpful. No fluff, no bull, just the ins and outs on how to use it. Well done.

[@richmac918]

Thanks for the video. I just bought the planner you demonstrated as I have some door edges I need to clean up a bit and decided that after using a block plane for the last 30 years I deserve an electric planner. When I opened the box I saw the guide and got a little confused about how it worked. I'm glad you covered this in the video or else I would have had to break a long standing tradition of not reading the manual.

[@daniello9155]

ha ha ha, welcome to the not reading the manual club.

[@handyandydmv]

This was actually a really awesome how to video !! Thank you for taking the time to make a detailed video on the proper use of a hand planer!

[@jameshalleron7484]

Your a life saver. I have been putting off getting a planner because I wont use it much but you have shown me what it could be used for besides planning a door. Thank you.

[@bighappygomateshwara8794]

Thank you. I did buy a similar type of planer but a different manufacturer. Wanted a planer 101 video and you fit the bill with your tips and easy to understand steps. Great video without wasting time on the fluff.

[@monkeyplayer1]

This helped me a lot. Getting a gift for my sister's husband and was not sure if hand planers were any good. I have only ever used a large table planer before. Great results it looks like if you know how to use it. Appreciate it, man!

[@TCMabe]

Really enjoyed your simple and easy to understand instructions and thorough examples. Great video !

[@GabrielsLogic]

Thanks for making this video! I now feel more comfortable and safe knowing what the parts do and the safest practices.

[@chrisdavis1722]

Great tips! I’ve not worked with an electric hand planer before, but now I’m considering adding it to my collection of tools.

[@birginiablanton5089]

Thank you so much. I seen your video before buying one and now I'm waiting on my husband to bring mine home. I can honestly say after 5 videos yours is the one that gets to the subject more quickly.

[@tylerblock3377]

Great video. You've got a gift for teaching this stuff.

[@myronp243]

I just bought a corded model like yours.You saved me a ton of reading and gave some great tips to a first time user.

[@mjremy2605]

What a great demo and teacher! Now I know how to use a planer. I have several drawers and doors I need to plane down. You explained it so well. Thanks for no music, such joy! Glad to see that Ryobi makes one. I'm tired of Dewalt prices for tools made in China. Tip - for reclaimed pallet wood - tap the wood out using a piece of wood and hammer. Then use an Airlocker Reverse Nail Gun with compressor to knock out all the nails fast from any piece of wood. Such a time saver!

[@Nikki2daD]

I’m a newbie to woodworking, and basically learning on my own. I’ve had this planner for a couple years now because I couldn’t find the right information to use it properly. This is hands down the best video I’ve come across on how to use this planner. Thank you for such detailed information. Now I’m going to go try it out.. lol. Wish me luck 🍀

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@egarcia5004]

Thank you. Your video helps. I bought my first Planer. One of the joists on my floating deck is arching so that's my project. Your video explains every part of the tool and shows you how to use it properly to get the best result.

[@SiasiAzadi]

Loved the way you explained and demonstrated

[@ffudon]

Great video! I run a strong magnet over the wood first, it helps find any hidden nails - top tip, you’re welcome 👍

[@BeachsideHank]

I run a strong nail over the wood too, trying to find any hidden magnets- it must work because I have yet to find any magnets in the wood.

[@birchthebirch4593]

I just carry a few extra blades for every job site , nothing worse than being caught pants down in the middle of nowhere without an extra blade

[@GabrielsLogic]

@@BeachsideHank 🤣

[@cdique1048]

Really learned how to use my Ryobi planer. Thank you for a very educational video and clear explanation.

[@ericswild]

Thank you. Just what I was looking for!

[@patriciaclapper1327]

[@elgranjero2284]

Very good tips. Thanks

[@kghia1974]

This was excellent! I'm a beginner and just bought the ryobi cordless. Wanted to learn everything I could before using. Your details and demonstration showed me just what I needed to know. Thank you!

[@suspendedsound]

Thanks for the vid man! Have used this planet multiple times and it’s great (at least in the short term) and I just needed a quick refresher on the operation.

[@lisasclafani5185]

I was just saying in another video how much I wanted to look at that electric hand planer and I never saw it before and then I caught this video on how to use it. I'm so excited. That is the next thing on my Home Depot list. Not to mention that I just hung up drywall and I wish I saw your video beforehand because you gave me a lot to think about. Not that it didn't come out good hahaha

[@akaDanGray]

Very helpful!

[@jimaronson2323]

Here I'm going to tell you what I think of this video... and I'm going to do that right now. Love that part of your videos. Very good video, detailed, etc. I would like an electric planer but I don't plane things that much.

[@DanaConquersBoutique]
