Festool EHL 65E One Handed Planer

Festool came out with a new planer.  If you are familiar with Festool, you already know it must be great.  The new EHL 65E is a one handed planer.  This is designed for tight areas, hence a one handed planer.  Overall this seems like a great power tool.  This carries a 6.0 amp, 720 watt motor with a spiral cutter head.  This type of cut makes knife changes easy and provides a very smooth cut, chatter free.  One nice feature we noticed right off the bat was this only weighs 5.3 lbs.  So it seems like you will have excellent control when making cuts.  As with most of the Festool’s other line up, this also offers the dust extraction option to help keep your work area clean.
