I need to purchase a proffesional power planer, the old one is missing. So can anyone recommend one that's a reasonable price, rebates and is light enough to hold in one hand upside down up a ladder. (the planer's gonna be upside down - not me)

http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/store/browse.php3?section=4569&sn=MAK1902&main=&cs=&level=5 have a look at this one i have the 1923 its a good bit of kit but is almost a kilo heavier than the 1902 and almost twice the price. But if you want something dirt cheap my boss bought a pp plane for about £15 on a b&q special but i'll stick to me maky anyday :lol:

Hi Manny
I also have the Mak, but the 1902, which I bought when I had a lot of doors to sort out.
Whilst I have not used it upside down, or even one-handed, it is a well built piece of kit and I wouldn't have thought that you'd go far wrong.
The acid test has got to be to try one yourself at your local toolstore or B&Q. I bought mine when B&Q were running one of their vat-free/offer days.
