Gotta love B1G1 free
Would RecommendIt's small and easy to handle, still have yet to purchase router bits. Unused but still love the feature of 7 different speeds and I am sure to get plenty of use out of it soon.

Powerhouse router!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this router! I have super weak hands and often struggle with large bulky tools. I've come to depend on the v20 series to help alleviate that. 7 speeds and a led light make it a breeze to use. Battery use time is EXCELLENT!

So handy
Would RecommendI do a bit of cutting of images, number and lettered signage for residential customers and business customers. Most of it on site as a professional handyman. I decided to get a cordless, compact router to help reduce entanglements and fatigue. I did already have a few Craftsman V20 batteries but what really made me try it were several positive reviews online by other sign makers. This Craftsman compact router is way more powerful than I expected. I use it all the time now at work.
Plenty of power...

Good, portable tool. Extremely useful.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this router. It's small, it's powerful and it's very adjustable. It would be a lifesaver for on site trim work or something similar. It's obviously not going to have the power that a full sized router will have. I also have a fairly small battery, so t hat limits the work I can do at one time. I'm a home DIYer, so I vacillate between really wanting laborer class tools and knowing that I don't use them enough to justify the expense...

Pretty powerful for a cordless tool
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third router and by far my favorite. I can't even compare it with my pre-used older models. Technology changes so fast. The fact that is cordless is a must-have, as it is very annoying when the cord gets in your way. Second, it is very lightweight so easy to use even by the elderly who have arthritis. I love that it uses the same type of battery as my other Craftsman tools and for my projects the 2.0 AH is sufficient. Oh and did I me...

Conveniently cordless consistent cuts.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been using different types of saws for all of my woodworking projects around the house and I wish I had used a router sooner! I used this brushless cordless router to finish out a door for a closet and once I picked the correct bits, the cuts and edges were seamlessly smooth. The included edge guide was helpful for this project. I liked that the depth adjustment controls were easy to read and use, and that the button is protected by rubbe...
