Dust collector attachment is faulty.

Would Recommend

Love the router, but the dust collector stinks. It would work well if that little attachment actually fit. But it just doesn’t there’s a little lip in there that’s supposed to slip right in and it doesn’t, so there’s a big gap between the desk collector and the router so it’s pretty ineffective.

Awesome!

Would Recommend

Bought this tool to use with circle cutting jig and avoid the hassle of dealing with a cord. I didn't want to spend 2-3 hundred dollars on some of the other brands and I've had good luck with Craftsman cordless tools. This one did not disappoint. It is relatively small and lightweight, and the build-quality is outstanding. Even more surprising is the quiet power that this router delivers.

Would buy again.

First router seems to have the power for the jobs I did. Used a flush trim bit to cut through some 1x3. Wish it had more of a safety mechanism other than an on/off position. But maybe comparable brands are the same way, I’ve not done more research on the matter.

First time router user

Would Recommend

While using a router for the first time, I realized you need patience to get a clean cut throughout the wood. With patience it worked out perfectly. It was user-friendly. After finishing a project making a straight cut, I have no dislikes about this router because I am a first time user. I would recommend this craftsman router.

Plenty of power without a cord.

Would Recommend

This is a very nice battery powered router. Has a very nice feel and handles great when in use. It also has plenty of power for the job. With no cord to trip over it is the best experience ever.

Tiny, yet powerful.

Would Recommend

The variable speed allows you to slice through whichever wood you choose with ease. It’s light, even with the 8amh battery. Adjustibilty is nice & straightforward. Nice entry to mid level router for the price.

Price is good.

The router is easy to operate and hold on to. It has good speed rpms. Depth adjustment is easy to use. The price is better than other brands that are 20 volt.
