Do you really need a cordless router? In my opinion, the answer is yes. As a woodworker and cabinet maker I feel a cordless router should be your fourth cordless tool purchase. The first three being a Cordless Drill, an Impact Driver, and a Circular Saw. After that the cordless router is my most used cordless tool in the shop. Having multiple brands can add to the clutter and confusion in your shop so if possible try to purchase a router that is already on your battery platform. The only reason I bought the rigid cordless router a little more than a year ago is the Milwaukee was not yet available.
