Overview
A hobbyist cutting, sanding or sharpening small parts gets a pen-style cordless tool here, with a lithium-ion pack and charger in the kit. Speed is variable, and the supplied EZ Lock accessories mount without separate wrenches.
A wide speed range and a small body make it comfortable for detail work in wood, metal or plastic. The limits are the small battery, which suits short sessions, and the lack of any collet size detail in the listing.
Who it's for
A bench for repairs, crafts and tool sharpening is the typical home for a tool this size. Cabinet makers and anyone wanting to cut grooves or profiles in boards should buy a real router with a base and bit shank.
Pros and cons
- Variable speed range
- Battery and charger included
- Compact and light
- Covers cutting, sanding and sharpening
- Small battery limits run time
- Not a woodworking router
- Collet size not given
- Accessory contents are limited
Performance notes
Speed does the work on a rotary tool, so the slow end suits plastics that melt and the fast end suits cutting and grinding in harder materials. Run time depends on the battery capacity, and heavy grinding drains it faster than light sanding.
