Thoughts on Milwaukee M18 Fuel Compact Router - Orion1876 - 05-26-2020
I recently picked up a Milwaukee M18 Fuel Compact Router when it was on sale at Home Depot.
Does anyone have experience using one of these?

I don't have experience with that router but I have the DeWALT 20V router and its fairly awesome. My old corded router was an ancient Craftsman. The Craftsman definitely has more power but for most stuff I screw around with the DeWALT has been just fine and I can't articulate how much I love not having to deal with a power cord.
BTW, cheap Menards router bits suck.... imagine that.

I hope Menards expands south at some point. It would be nice to have a Menards in Texas. There have been a few Menards deals I would have loved to get in on.
Originally I was planning to get the Dewalt and was waiting for a deal on the Dewalt when I found a deal on the Milwaukee. Since I already have a few M18 tools I couldn't pass it up.
