Corded power meets cordless convenience with the 18-Volt LXT Brushless Compact Router Kit, model XTR01T7. The 18-Volt LXT Router has an efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The kit includes 2 efficient 18-Volt LXT 5.0Ah batteries, and each reaches a full charge in only 45-minutes the fastest charge-time in the category for less downtime and increased productivity. The XTR01T7 is engineered for a full range of cabinetry and woodworking applications.

The battery life is great.
Eldon Lehner (verified owner) –
this router works flawlessly. Battery lasts for a full day, plus, and charging time is quick enough that you only need the two that are supplied with the kit. In fact, I use the second battery for my Makita hand planner, and both work great.

This tool performs as well as my corded routers without the hassle of the cord. Power is good. I was concerned about the weight of the battery on top, but the balance is fine too. Battery lasts through several operations including rounding over tops, cutting dados and even plunge routing mortises

It is my first time using a router. I used it to make some cabinet moulding. It worked great. I opted for the battery operated because I have a lot of 18V Makita tools and the batteries will work on all my other tools too.

The 18 volt Makita planet is both simple, convenient, and has power comparable to the corded version.

A lot more to the set than I thought, didn’t completely read what came with it. Only complaint is with the jigsaw, it doesn’t have a way to lock the trigger, got use to my other one that could
