I need to hang some doors, not many, just three of them. So I need to purchase a plane to get the job done. I've checked on 'toolstation' and a manual 'block plane' is around £30 Also on 'toolstation' I can get a cheap as chips, unbranded SL155 Power Planer for £22.50 Lastly, I can get a Ryobi L175 Planer for £50
Now, this item probably won't be getting that much use, but I don't relish he thought of having to scrap a whole door because I bodged it (I know a bad work man blames his tools, but they do make a difference).
Is there any point whatsoever getting the unbranded cheap-as planer? Is there an real advantage in using a power planer over a manual plane?
Keep in mind that I haven't used a plane since I was about 15 years old trying to make a sledge.
Thanks for any and all advice.
