Bosch PR20EVSNK Colt Installers Kit 5.7 Amp 1 Horsepower Fixed Base Variable Speed Router with 4 Assorted Bases and Edge Guide

this tool is so much easier to use than afull size router and it has all the power I need.

The product arrived as expected with lots of wonderful attachments. However, after using the offset base for less than five minutes, a grinding noise started and the collet dropped down so that the nut began to grind into the workpiece. Looks like the bearing (bushing) prematurely failed. Bosch recommended I take the base to a service center -- this I did but didn't plan on the trip. Now I wait to see what kind of warrantee service they provide and delay my project a week. Not a really good first impression.

I bought my first Bosch Colt when they first came on the market and have used it extensively in my home shop and hobby woodworking projects. I particularly like it for easing edges on various handyman jobs and furniture projects I have built. I bought a second one recently because I was away from home and needed a router for a custom kitchen counter we were installing. I had always wanted the full kit for the different bases offered with the full kit. I was not disappointed. It did everything I needed it to do and did it well. This is not a "toy router" but rather a serious, power tool, to do the job with power to spare. I only wish I had one of these twenty years earlier.

Very handy litte tool. Comes in a sturdy case and has several different bases. One thing I would really like to see is Bosch to make a small plunge base and a circle cutter for this tool. They make a circle cutter for their rotozip which is poor quality and really only for sheetrock.
The addition of a percision plug base would really make a great tool even better.

I love the versatility if the router. I have a habit of abusing tools, because they need to go the extra mile...This little "giant" has done all I have asked of it and more.
