WEN Products

Remember WEN?

We've been designing and distributing high-quality and affordable power tools for decades. Founded by Nick Anton back in 1951, WEN originally made its mark by helping bring tools and electricity together (putting the power into power tools). Our research and development team played a vital role in helping to develop a variety of common everyday tools such as the chainsaw, the electric soldering gun, the electric jigsaw, the electric engraver, and the knife and wet wheel sharpeners. WEN even pioneered random orbital technology – the technology seen in most polishers, waxers, and buffers today that gives cars everywhere the streak-free shine they deserve.

Helping you get the job done since 1951.

Since then, our expertise has expanded to encompass a wide variety of products, including drill presses, lathes, bench grinders, nailers, miter saws, hand tools, generators, and cordless power tools, to name a few. By 2001, only 50 years after our humble beginnings, we had already sold over 50 million consumer units. By 2021, we had sold nearly 80 million. Today, WEN's headquarters can be found in West Dundee, Illinois. Our goal is to help woodworkers, DIYers, and artisans across the world execute their wildest imaginations.

Product Description

Remember when you needed to smooth out those joists? Plane away chips, splinters, and misshapen edges with the WEN 8-Amp 4-3/8 Inch Electric Hand Planer. Take on 2x4s and 4x4s with the spacious 4-3/8-inch cutterhead. Perfect for fixing stubborn doors and fitting wood. This power planer’s 8-amp motor delivers over 32,000 cuts per minute to your workpiece, slicing away any irregularities until the surface of your boards are aligned and smooth. With a cutting width of 4-3/8 inches and a maximum cutting depth of 1/8 of an inch, you’ll have the perfect companion for fitting and squaring boards. The 16 positive stops go from 0 all the way up to 1/8 of an inch in 1/128 inch intervals. The base plate shoe even includes two v-shaped chamfer grooves for easily flattening sharp post corners. The onboard kickstand protects both the blade and the workpiece by keeping the blade elevated and out of contact from the surface of your project in-between cuts. Finally, the dust adapter combined with the two-way dust port helps users manage loose shavings, keeping your work space clean and sawdust free. The included rabbeting guide helps create rabbets in your boards while the parallel fence bracket keeps your planer traveling perfectly straight. And because this is a WEN Product, your 8-Amp 4-3/8-Inch Corded Hand Planer comes backed by a two-year warranty, a friendly customer help line, and a nationwide network of skilled service technicians. Remember when you had a reliable planer that lasted for years? Remember WEN.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the planer. Some mention it feels like a well-built machine, solid planer, and comparable to other big brands. However, others say that the fence that comes with it is flimsy, there are manufacturing flaws, and the quality control is so-so. The blades break easily and the replacements are a pain to align correctly.

Customers are mixed about the size of the planer. Some mention that it's highly recommended with the extra width, while others say that it is wider than most planers and is indispensable for their use.

Works great
5 Stars
Works great
Worked as it's supposed to. Wish it came with a bag, but I made it work lol. I like that it has a hand grip on top so I don't have to use the adjustment knob to apply pressure in the front.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't imagine it gets any better with a more expensive model.
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2023
I had a number of rough cut 4x12x60 cedar timbers to plane and this planer cleaned them up flawlessly and produced a perfectly smooth surface.
I have nothing bad to say. I did however decide not to contain the shavings and saw dust and judt let it fly. I did adjust the debris to exit the planer to the right which is a great feature. It created a larger pile than expected so be prepared depending on your project. It's quieter than expected and is easy to adjust cutting depth. I turned the depth adjustment 3 clicks clockwise and left it. That made a very shallow cut each pass but all 70 feet of cuts were all perfect and clean. Read the instructions as there are a number of useful tips to get the best results. I utilized a few of them myself. You will not be disappointed. Strong 8 amp motor, quiet, easy to handle.
