The DEWALT DCP580N is a cordless tool. It takes an 18V XR lithium-ion battery which is sold separately. In fact, if you have a cordless DEWALT tool already then its battery may well be compatible. The planer is well designed in the sense that it's lightweight, compact and has an ergonomic handle. It's compatible with the AirLock dust extraction system.
