Benchtop Planer Appraisal

DEWALT DW735 Thickness Planer in Original Packaging

The item depicted is a DEWALT DW735 Thickness Planer, still contained within its original, vibrant yellow cardboard packaging. The box is prominently branded with the DEWALT logo in bold black lettering, both upright and inverted, indicating it's visible from different angles when stacked. An illustration of the thickness planer itself is visible on the front face of the box, showing a sturdy, yellow and black machine with various knobs and adjustment mechanisms. Below the illustration, the model number 'DW735' is clearly printed. The packaging appears to be in used condition, exhibiting signs of wear and tear, including scuffs, dirt marks, and some creasing, particularly around the edges and corners. There are also darker smudges, possibly from grease or handling, on various surfaces of the yellow cardboard. The overall construction of the box is industrial standard for power tools, designed to protect the contents during shipping and storage. While the precise age is not discernible, the style of branding suggests it is a relatively modern tool, likely post-2000, given the current DEWALT branding. The image itself provides no internal details or manufacturing specifics beyond those explicitly printed on the exterior of the box. The presence of the original box, despite its cosmetic condition, is a positive indicator that the contained item is likely new or has been carefully stored. This item belongs to a high-quality line of woodworking tools, known for their durability and precision, a factor that contributes to its perceived value.
