Verdict

The lightest cordless trim router on the market. Accepts both 1/4" and 1/2" collets — rare for a compact router. The spindle lock switch makes bit changes a one-wrench operation.

Pros

  • + Lightest in class at only 1.1 kg
  • + Accepts 1/4" and 1/2" collets
  • + One-wrench bit changes with spindle lock
  • + 12V or 18V battery compatible

Cons

  • Lower power than 18V competitors
  • Shorter battery runtime with 12V batteries
  • Less established than Makita/DeWALT in this category
