Which planer should I buy for planing pallets?

[Tyro]

I'm thinking about planing down the pallet boards.  I haven't the skill to use a manual planer so electric is the obvious choice.  Once I have some more experience and time I want to make some furniture , so I'd like to get something reliable.  With a cord.  😉

All answers welcome!  😁

Hello @Arcc 

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience regarding the use of pallets. Who knew that keeping pallets in their assembled form had benefits. It's definitely a handy tip to keep in mind in order to prevent the panels from twisting and bowing. It's good to know that both an electric plane and orbital sander can both be used for finishing the surface of the timber pallet. I'm sure this information will come in handy for those members who are about to use timber pallets for their projects.   

Again, thank you for sharing your experience.
