We all know that anything a power tool can do, a hand tool can do as well.
This can not be turned around, power tools can not always do what a hand tool can do.
Also, a hand tool can do a job better than a power tool.
During my working days one of my woodworking co-workers was alway touting his power planer. One of the claims was it could remove 1/16" in a single pass. One of my counters to this in the shop where we worked was to hang a long translucent shaving over my work area. One day we were talking. The conversation turned to woodworking. When asked about his latest project, he replied he wasn't doing anything at the moment because he needed his planer blades sharpened. He then asked if this might be something my setup could handle.
