Recomendation for a palm router and planer

[Yukster]

Hi there. Could you please recommend a palm router and a planer. I do a lot of DIY and I dont really buy cheap entery line power tools. I'd be grateful if you could propose a couple mains and battery powered quality options.

I have the DeWALT DCK266P2T Brushless Combi and Impact driver with 18V (5.0Ah) batteries. So it might be convenient to use them with a bat operated palm router or planer.

Ryobi are currently running their promotion, buy a battery+charger and get a free tool.
Their 18v router isn't too bad at all.

I only work in domestic properties. When using my router or planer, both are connected to my dust extractor (read: vacuum cleaner with auto start). Whilst working, I need to control the hose, keeping an eye on the power lead is no biggy. I see no advantage to using battery versions of either. It's not like I will be using them up a ladder. Your usage might be different though. Oh and if I go for cordless tools, I will need to pay over £100 for the module which connect to my dust extractor.

I have a small corded palm router- unfortunately it doesn't have dust extraction but it was gifted to me. My larger router is a half inch Dewalt with a dust extraction port. My planer- again a Dewalt. It is not brilliant (the rebate depth is about 12mm). If my pockets were deeper I would buy the Festool one, it only has a single blade. The blade is at an angle, so you get a cleaner cut rather than having two opposing blades that are set at very slightly different depths.

I do have cordless combi drills though.
