Woodworkers of TBH, I'm going to be purchasing my first hand planer. I'm specifically needing it to help flatten a workbench that I'm making. I'm assuming that a bench planer is typically the best planer to start off with, and I've read that a No. 5 is the one you'll use most often (correct me on this if you feel differently), but I'm unsure what brand to go with.
I always tend to go for value. I usually don't want the most expensive, but I do want the best quality/customer service. I buy Ridgid because to me, they're higher quality, maybe not as good as Milwaukee, but still good, and they have the lifetime service agreements on everything. So far they've held up their end of the bargain on that as well, so I'm a happy customer.
So... What recommendations do y'all have? Also, not looking for an electric hand planer, but I guess if you've got an argument to make for that over the other, I'd hear it out. Thanks in advance.
