Ryobi currently has a palm router on the market that runs on their 18V platform. \u00a0If you check it out at Home Depot, people love the router and give it high praise. \u00a0So if you think that is a good palm router, you have to check out their updated palm router model P601. \u00a0This is a huge step up.<\/p>\n

When I say it’s a big step up, this palm router feels great, feels like a quality router and has some great features to it. \u00a0Now, \u00a0you’re not going to use this router to create a house since it’s cordless, but this router has plenty of power to get a ton of small jobs done. \u00a0For most people, they want to use a router to put finishing touches on a project, but sometimes it can be a pain to take out a corded router, set it up and do your work. \u00a0With the Ryobi, just grab a battery, insert a bit and start your work. \u00a0Besides it being a quality router, what I really like about this router is it shows Ryobi is really trying to make a wide variety of tools for the homeowner. \u00a0Not that everyone will run out and get this tool, but there are those people who have the 18V line and don’t want to make a heavy investment into a corded router that will end up sitting around most of the time.<\/p>\n

With this router, you will get about 600 linear feet per charge, but again that depends\u00a0on the type of wood and your bit. \u00a0In regards to power and speed, this router doesn’t lack. \u00a0The 1\/4″ collect can spin at 29,000 which can make any final touches look like a pro did the work. \u00a0The quick release level is metal, not plastic, a huge plus. \u00a0There is also a LED light to help light up your work while working and keeping you in line.<\/p>\n

All in all, this is a great router. \u00a0It’s a solid palm router\u00a0that has the feel and power of the more\u00a0expensive corded versions. \u00a0Removing the base is\u00a0easy, but you do have to make sure the collect lock lever is pushed in so you can take the base off all the way. \u00a0The grip is nice and easy to maneuver due to the great design of the tool.<\/p>\n
