Ratings & Reviews for Metabo HPT MultiVolt 1/4-in Variable Speed Brushless Trim Router

Little router that could!

I have had this router a few weeks now and I am very pleased with the performance. I love Metabo-HPT's cordless plunge router and this trim router is as awesome as it's big brother. The "fit and finish" is superb, and all of the features of brush less technology makes using this tool a lot easier than my corded one. Most notably, the soft start, quick breaking feature is really a time saver. I like that all the controls enable single handed operation, and the rubberized grip is a nice touch. The...

Blew Me Away

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know, it's a trim router but I was really amazed at the power this little guy has. I was planning to only use it for trimming veneer and laminates but the power it has has allowed us to use it for dados and other edges required at my cabinet shop. The light is fantastic, and in just the right place. Tool changing is super easy. I have other trim routers in the shop and none of them seem to hold the depth adjustment the way this does. This too...

Petite and Powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Metabo has hit it out of the park on this cordless tool and I am in love with it! I honestly cannot suggest a thing that I would recommend they consider changing. Versatility in router bit shaft diameter with interchangeable collets is fast and easy so no need to worry about this router accepting your bits. This little guy is very lightweight and you could use it all day without fatigue. The verticle adjustment proved to be spot on and trust me...

Great Tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this router on a framing job. This tool performed better than other brands. The weight, power, and speed of the tool is amazing. I would recommend this tool for someone who does DIY projects or uses the tool fairly frequently but not everyday. For the type of construction we perform, ripping sheathing and other uses, we prefer to use the 36V Plunge Cut Router due to the fact that it is faster. This tool performed great for its intended...

Handy, reliable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This router really nails it with the features. Soft start and brake is really underrated as far as trim routers go, or any other router for that matter. Time spent waiting for the bit to spin down is time that cant be used for rearranging the work piece. I run a moulding business and we do work for a local remodelling company that specializes in windows. Between this tool and my moulding machine I am able to stay competitive with the big boys i...

High quality

I have used this router for only a couple of times and I am loving it. Lots of power and smooth operating in the same time. One of the biggest pros is that the depth adjustment collar actually holds it's dept setting. On my other routers they always loosen after a few passes and that makes finish work very complicated. Not the case with this router. I would definitely recommend this product. The fact that it's cordless makes it even better. Dragging a cord around when you are suppos...

Outstanding performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a big fan of the entire Metabo cordless line of tools, so when it was time for a new trim router of course I went with Metabo. I have only had the Metabo M1808DAQ4M for a couple of days, but have used it a lot in that short time span. It is comfortable, powerful enough to handle cutting a Roman Ogie in hard wood, and accurate enough to cut rabbits in stock lumber for making shelves or cabinets. It has honestly proved more versatile than I ...
