Whats a wood jointer do?

The jointer derives its name from its primary function of producing flat edges on boards prior to joining them edge-to-edge to produce wider boards. The use of this term probably arises from the name of a type of hand plane, the jointer plane, which is also used primarily for this purpose.

What are the magnets for on a Ryobi planer?

RYOBI provides two magnets to lift the knives for changing, and a hex wrench for removing the blade cover, vacuum diverter, knob, etc. The top has handy, integrated storage for both. The planer utilizes two blades and once the cover is off, it’s easy to clean, maintain and change the knives.

Do I need a jointer if I have a planer?

Is a jointer better than a planer?

The jointer will give you a perfectly square single edge and flatten that single side, whereas the planer will give you consistent thickness and parallel surfaces. Jointers have their cutting knives embedded in the table with the wood passing over them, whereas planers cut from above the wood.
