Love how quiet it is compared to my old one

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The router's brushless motor allows me to tackle a wide variety of tasks, from delicate work on hardwoods to more aggressive routing on softer materials. The ability to easily adjust the speed means I can achieve precise results tailored to each project. With the brushless design, it runs so much quieter compared to traditional brushed models. There’s less vibration, which makes for better control and accuracy during use. The stability of this...

Lightweight and easy to use!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how compact and lightweight this unit is even with a larger battery on it. It's extremely easy to hold one handed and with having a battery attached you can have different size batteries so that you can work on longer projects plus the fact not needing a power outlet or extension cords to work where you want to work makes this much more versatile. The quality or craftsmanship of the product is sturdy and well built and definitely lives u...

Great router

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This router feels super comfortable to hold while using, it is very lightweight, has a high rpm, feels flush and steady when routing something like a cabinet edge. It is easy to adjust and the light that automatically turns on when using it is very helpful.

Perfection

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This couldnt have worked more perfectly for my project. It is so simple to use me, a beginner with a router was able to get going within moments. It only took me a few practice tries and i was able to then start on my project. My crown needed re-created as part of a restoration project in my home. This made the most perfect lines to flawlessly recreate the moulding. If your on the fence with this purchase just do it. Its really worth every sing...

Small, lightweight and works great!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Craftsman fixed base router cuts as it should, battery life is surprisingly long. It handles routing hardwood well, small and light weight makes it easier to route smaller trim boards and cabinet door edges. Another must have took for the work truck!

Great Fixed Base Router

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This V20 Brushless RP Fixed Base Router is compact but powerful. It is easy to use. Finishing the edges on my wood frames is easy with this router. It has 7 speeds which is great. The edge guide helps with being accurate. The LED light gives me great visibility for working on my projects. I would recommend this quality router.

Lightweight and easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Craftsman fixed base router is perfect for woodworking projects. It is easy to assemble and lightweight for portability. The brushless motor is powerful and offers a long runtime on the rechargeable battery (battery and charger are not included). The slim profile design and LED light make it comfortable to handle and illuminate work surfaces in low-light areas. I love that it is cordless so that there aren't any cords getting in the wa...

My first time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new cordless Grinder could not have come at a better time! I was working on a project, and all of the wood that was being used had nails in them, so I grabbed my new Craftsman Grinder and started to grind down the nails. It save me a lot of time. It was easy to assemble, easy to use, plus I felt comfortable using the grinder especially since it was the first time using a router.

Love this light weight router

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this tool. It is easy to use for someone who hasn’t used a router before and it is lightweight. Being cordless helped with many projects because I don’t have to worry about the cord. I was worried that being cordless, that it wouldn’t be able to handle projects but that hasn’t been an issue. Only complaint is about the dust shield. It doesn’t help much.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t used a router in a couple decades, and the ease of use of this one makes me wish I didn’t wait so long to get one! I’ve always enjoyed woodworking, and now that I can use this I’m hoping to craft some projects for around the house! Very easy to setup and install your bit (make sure you have your own bits!), along with simple adjustments that can be made to control the power. Once you learn which direction to go for in/outside cu...

Amazing router

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fixed base router is an absolute gem and very easy to use. The product is lightweight, easy to use and store. The router does come with a few accessory like a dust cover and an edge guide. The tool has a tab to easily adjust your bits as well as a wrench to attach them. The hand of the router has grooves to easy hold and not loose your grip while cutting. The power on this tool is amazing as well, it will easily cut through the toughe...

Not bad for battery operated

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will be my first battery operated router. I’ve always used corded and I was skeptical at first to even try this but I was amazed. It was easy to assemble, and easy to use. There was some spots that wasn’t cutting smoothe, but I don’t blame that on the tool, I blame that on the bits. I didn’t use good bits I used some cheap ones. Overall, this thing was powerful enough to get the job done. I do however recommend going with at least a 4.0 ba...

Lightweight, easy to use tool for precise cuts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is yet another amazing product from the Craftsman BRUSHLESS RP™ collection - the Fixed Base Router. Endless projects await us with this compact, lightweight and easy to control tool. I love that it has a rechargeable battery which means there’s NO power cord to contend with and doesn’t need to be used near an outlet. The depth adjustment knob is easy to adjust and the LED light is a nice feature to have for more intricate cuts. I especiall...

All good but the dust shield.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box this Fixed Based Router is lightweight but solid and seems well built. The only exception to that 'well built' part is the dust shield. It looks like it would slot into place easily but there's a strange gap so it doesn't sit flush. I feel like in the future this could cause problems. Overall, though, the tool is well worth it. I'm a fan of anything cordless as I don't typically work on big jobs. I need something to get something...
