Bosch is updating the Colt palm router

No wonder why the Colt kits are selling so cheap.

I can't find it in stock anywhere and Acme tools is running a Pre order for June of 2017

it is a funny item Bosch doesn't even list it as new or coming out? 

[overanalyze]

Bosch is great about teasing about new releases and then taking a year or more to actually get it to the market. This new Colt has been rumored for well over a year now. I got tired of waiting and ordered the original Colt a few months ago. It is a good router kit. I have the plunge base as well and that makes a great setup.

like wise got mine yesterday.....

The new Colt 1.25 has been rumored since September of 2015. I remember seeing it listed on Lowes.com as "shipping January, 2016" for a while.  I believe Acme also had it listed as a preorder as well.

 

At this point, I'll believe it when I see it shipping.  A two year plus lead time teasing a minor update to an already great router is moronic.

Ah yes, it is always nice when you get a "teaser post" about something coming out and yet it takes forever. Similar to Milwaukee's outdoor equipment... I hear about that from my local rep at the end of 2015... and now 16 months later here it is.
