Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Excellent tool for light routing. Makes quick work of edging especially on laminates. My go-to for trimming work.

Light is good, visibility good, and ergonomics takes some getting used to. The offset design is mandatory for ease of use on edges. The depth adjustment is incredibly precise, too.

Build quality is superb, specially considering the price. Handle is easy to grip firmly and comfortably. Easy to use, minimal setup and always ready to go.

Finally decided to purchase it and fell in love instantly. Really happy with the purchase. No complaints yet.

Great way to rout without have to plug in a router. Will be buying more * cordless 12v tools. Gadget is a tiny and with a convenient cordless design.

Cons

Black height adjustment knob is so tight and so recessed back. Loosening the collet nut from the bit does nothing for making the bit fir. Looks like it should be ergonomic but it's difficult to hold and control properly.

Quality

I am so happy with this product.

Build quality is superb, specially considering the price.

But it will be a much easier job with the little router held to a vertical wall.

It is a quality router though, if you don't need less than an inch between your bit and the edge of your base it is great.

Price

Easy to handle and move around, good price.

If this tool was green, it would cost 3x this price.

Competitiveness

It's easy to handle, precise, and has some great features that make it stand out from the competition.

Enough surface to mount a 2”x8” x 16’ ledger board.

I am finding it performs at least half the tasks i used to use a full-size router for.

I’ve been getting about 100-120 linear feet of 1/8” round over per 2ah battery.
