comp56 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 well if you haven't noticed I'm not a DeWalt guy, don't own many DeWalt tools at all but this has come to my attention for a possible good deal what are your thoughts on this kit. I have 4 routers now all various HP from a 1/2HP to 3 1/4HP production router, just wondering if this is worth getting for my collection....

RickyMcGrath Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have two of the kits because I liked them so much. The D handle really come in handy. The only issue I have is the soft start. It's so soft, it can be a nuisance. Often times, I pull the trigger and my reaction is so quick that I find myself releasing the trigger, thinking the router isn't powering on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slowly putting together a wood shop so I was kind of curious. I have been looking at trim routers since I figure for what I would like to do, it would at least get me started.

WigWagWorkshop Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's a great router, but I didn't get this kit, because I don't think I would have a use for the handle attachment. I am DeWalt guy, but honestly, if you already have 4 routers I don't think this kit has anything to offer you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I might just go with a smaller plunge unit as long as it has soft start..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
