Gotta love B1G1 free

Would Recommend

It'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 Recommend

I 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.

Best bang for the price. Love it

Small easy to use, and it is not loud that you get scared to use.

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...
