Why it's on the list
Super convenient but not all that necessary if you have a corded one. I have multiples of these now, one for each different job already set up with the proper bit at the proper depth.
From Home Depot
The DEWALT 20V MAX XR Cordless Compact Router provides power like a corded tool while providing the convenience of a cordless router. The plastic fixed base and dual LED lights help to illuminate the work surface and provide superior bit visibility. This cordless woodworking router is equipped with variable speed control for optimal bit speed in each application. The release clamp allows for quick and easy bit and base change. This DCW600B hand router features an electronic brake which slows the motor down faster after the unit is shut off for greater safety and convenience.
- Powerful 20-Volt brushless motor offers up to 25,500 RPM
- Variable speed dial
- Dual LED lights illuminate dimly lit work surface
