Hand planers-which to buy

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I need some opinions on which hand planer to purchase. I will be using the planer primarily for planing down doors and other trim tasks. I am leaning towards the Bosch 3296k. It has the largest amperage compared to DeWalt, Makita, and Hitachi. Let me know your experiences with any of the planers. Thanks
