AnestyPalm Router Trimmer, Woodworking Hand Router with Trimmer Base, Handheld Wood Compact Trim Router Power Routers Tool with 15pcs 6.35mm Router Bit Set

Given the price tag of (currently) £50, I didn't expect too much from this router, but I was pleasantly surprised.This is a great little tool, very easy to setup and use. I have had a plunge router for many years and thought that was better than one like this, but I was very wrong.I've only used a few of the included bits, but they all worked perfectly and the router itself performed without any issues.My only two issues (which affect a number of routers, not just this one) are:Stability - The router has a very small footprint and when edging a piece of wood, the router can rock (as can any without a supportive base or jig).Power on/off - I'm not sure if this is a feature with all hand routers (I've see it on several) is that there is no on/off trigger. There is a power switch and once it's on, it stays on until you physically switch it off again. If you put the router down and it's still on, you have an exposed spinning blade that won't stop!I would prefer a little button or trigger that you press and hold to engage the router as a safety feature. Again, these two issues aren't specific to this router, so don't necessarily let them dissuade you from purchasing what is otherwise a nice little piece of kit.

Could shatter the ceilings of the Gods due to it's noise so wear ear-defenders! Saying that, if you need a small router, get this one - utterly insane and amazing!! Very precise but won't stand fools easily so control it always... Could be your favourite router.. enjoy the sawdust..

After reading all the reviews, I decided to get this as it was cheap enough and I just needed something quickly to be able to finish my little project.I read the reviews about the bits that were not good quality but , although they are not the best, they suited me for my soft wood project just fine.You HAVE to connect it to a dust extractor as if you don't ( realised I didn't after a while and immediately regretted it ),the dust will go everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE...So.... once it's connected to a dust extractor I had no issues using it and I'd say it seems of solid build.My only gripe with this product is that if you use it for anything that doesn't require a guide ( like I did ) you can not see where you are going unless you shine a light through the plastic from the dust extractor.Apart for that, it is a good tools and the bits , so far, have been useful and strong enough.Nice little tool which I do recommend , although it's early days and don't know how long it will last.I'm not saying it would be for trade , but definitely for a DIYer for occasional use.

Always fancied trying a palm router instead of my bigger two handed one and seen this one at a reasonable price, I’ve used it a few times now and wondered how I ever managed before, it’s so easy to use both with attachments and freehand work, definitely recommend

Sturdy built comfortable fit clean cut

Very good for price easy to use

The tool itself is quite handy for doing fiddly cuts and the depth gauge is better than the one on my larger router. The face plate on mine was quite rough though and it left deep grooves on the surface of the ikea wardrobe I was trimming. I've sanded the plate so it only leaves minor grooves now but have to put masking tape around the area to be cut to protect it.

Bought for odd jobs, hasn’t disappointed. Easy to use and comes with enough accessories/bits for most simple diy edge trimming requirements.For the price I’m very satisfied.
