Been using the M18 Planer for over a year. Picked up the M12 about a month ago and love it. 5.0 HO battery is great but it also works well with the m12 2.0 battery.

[superbaker]

I've been wanting to get it ever since I heard it was coming out . I will have this tool. Thank you for the video. It helped me make my mind up.

[EM-fiqg]

This is perfect. When I use the M18 planer, it's kind of unwieldy on doors. Feels like you could almost plane titanium.

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very cool how small the m12 is that would be amazing for doors

[electricianron_New_Jersey]

Now this is my kind of video!!! TRZ is back!!!! Btw I used that link to purchase this from Acme tools! I’ll be slicing n dicing in no time.

[klimbach]

Got the Bosch edition on clearance for $48 at Lowes, Pure Awesomeness 😂😂😂

[josephmalinowski]

This looks like it will be perfect for working on Doors when they hang up. I've been tossing around the idea of the M18 for the M12 and I like the smaller one.

I'm looking forward to getting this. I'm heavily invested in the M12 line. I also have the Bosch line too and that planer is great. Just got the new barrel grip M12 Jigsaw and wow...took them long enough but it was worth the wait. Got it on sale for $129 and couldn't be happier. Can't wait for the Brad to come out. Only does 1-1/2" nails but for the size you can't really complain. 12v technology has come such a long way and alot of them work like full sized tools. As a finish carpenter and woodworker, they can handle anything. The Milwaukee and Dewalt 5-3/8" circ saws leave a lot to be desired (I have the Dewalt and Makita 12v lines also🤷🏻‍♂️)....now that I'm thinking about it, my addiction to tools probably has something to do with being divorced twice🤣

[classicdisaster]

Perfect for scribing countertops in the commercial millwork field. Faster and smaller than a belt sander. Highly recommended.

[lincolndickerson]

Seems very handy, i like that it goes right down to 0.

Finally somebody did another small cordless planer. I have the "original" Bosch 12V model for a few years already and use it almost every day in the workshop. It is way more useful than the bigger 18V planers! A fabulous little gem. And now Milwaukee have literary copied the design, but made it with two blades and substantially more powerful. Excellent!

[vincepopo]

I preordered this and received it two weeks ago, I haven’t had the chance to put it through it’s paces yet

[sanfranatic]

I usually use my left hand...but at night, in the dark....good to know I can use both.

[bigwhisky]

Finally gave in last yr and got the M18 planer for cabinets and doors. It's awesome but BIG. Guess I'll be getting a new tool soon 🤷🏼‍♂️

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

He dust attachment system is pretty cool way easier then the Orbital Sander which is a pain to remove and install the hose connector vs the filter box

[johnrice]

This will be a nice additive to my m12 collection

[jonspitzley]

Looks really smooth...it's so smooth it should be called the M12 planer tmz rnl model ( real nice like ) 👍😂😂

[samueladams]

That's real nice like. I have the M18 batt-trees for Milwaukee and a couple of their tools, but looking at some of these M12 tools getting tempted

[jimbennett]

That is real nice like. I can see lot o' uses for that slicer and dicer. I have noticed too that I may have been demoted to #2 on the list of jaw horse users, you may have me beat but watch your back cause I'm real close like lol

[ChristiaanLogos]

Can it get into corners? Renovations often have corner studs that an average planer can't get into and I need to use a sanding disc. Which is a nightmare.
