Sadly I Just started using it today and it seems like the power switch might be bad. Keeps shutting off in the middle of runs.

Works awesome, even smaller than I thought it would be. It’s so much less intimidating than my full size router! Extremely easy to use.

Love this purchase. Of all my shop tools, this one has to be the one I am most appreciative to lose the cord. Allows me to move around cabinets and furniture pieces without having to wrestle them into a new position, never have to keep one eye on the cord possibly tangling and causing detail and safety issues.I don’t understand how some reviewers can say it’s not good. The only way it would not perform well IMHO is to use it in a manner that it’s not intended like trying to plugs too deep, too fast or trying to use a large bit and remove huge amounts of material at a time. It’s not a shaper folks…but it certainly is a very capable router. Way better than my Ryobi trimming router and rivals my trusty Porter Cable, just way lighter (which I appreciate!)

I love RIDGID tools but sometimes near impossable to Register for Lifetime Warranty.They “RIDGID and HOME DEPOT” need to make this operation EASIER.

Small compact feels good in your hand feels torque is good

Very capable palm router. It would get 5 stars if there was dust collection like the Makita.

Good tool for the price
Morris Ward (verified owner) –
drill was just what I ordered
Jayme Jakubowski (verified owner) –
The machine is well designed, it fits my hand quite well. It comes with a round and square base.The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it sucks battery life, and it does display a tendency to bog down if you push it too fast on laminate. Still even with those negatives, the router operates very well, much better at laminate trimming than my big 2 HP clunker that is best left mounted upside down on a router table.

router works excellent, runs very smooth, plenty of power and good run time (I used a 4 amp hour battery) cleaned up about 150 ft of countertop on a single battery, with plenty of juice left.the only improvement I would ask for is to make the start switch more accessible for 1 handed use
Sydney Schuppe (verified owner) –
I really like this compact router. This is my second one. The price was good so I decided to buy another one. I keep a Freud (my favorite router bits) round over bit dedicated to one now. The battery life for running these is excellent. I highly recommend this tool.

Easy to assemble and operate

I have many Rigid tools and consider myself a Rigid supporter. In this case I felt deceived mainly by the 5Amh battery. Only got about 1.5 hrs.
