So, has anyone got any views on a Bosch PHO1 planer:

don't know about this one, but I suspect all recent routers have the same design problem. Some burk somewhere has probably decreed that routers mustn't have lock-in power switches. Which means when you put 'em upside down in a router table you have to do stupid things like wrap rubber bands round the trigger or make up a little Velcro strap to keep 'em switched on.

Looks OK, they're all much of a muchness.

Same again. I got a cheap router for odd jobs from Aldi, with various TCT bits. Works. You'll still need a chisel as well.
Any justification for this? Or are you just a f****it?

Both fine for your needs.
I wish I'd said that. ;-)
The message from Nigel Molesworth contains these words:
You will, Nigel, you will.
LOL ;-O
The justification being that you are the f****it for saying it in the first place.
"if you haven't needed one by now, you won't need it again"
Just how do you work that out?
Until I bought my first house I never needed a power drill. Your saying I would never need one again after the job I required it for. Until I did my first plumbing job, I never needed a pipe cutter. I've certainly needed it quite often since, etc., etc.
Like I said, it was a stupid thing to say. Let the potential purchaser decide for themselves about future need.
MBQ
I haven't, but I will.
Suggestions on what to buy still welcome but I'm going to need to buy soon...
No, no, no, listen to Nigel, he obviously knows what he's talking about. You will not need it again, ever, understand?

The message from snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com contains these words:
Are you now, or have you ever been, a tool using ape?
Or JCB (planer, not digger!)?
No.
It's Nigel checking that you don't buy anything of quality on the off chance you may need it again in the future.
MBQ
Well he can't until hew know's about relative quality and hence longevity. And price does not necessarily equate with quality.
I'll have a stab:
Quality from "best" to "less good" :

How's that ?
Cheers

Draper? Nutool? DeWalt?

Thanks, that was useful!
