Being on the Milwaukee platform, their offering is at the top of the list, but it’s a little pricey for my SS disability income because I want the kit. That way I have another battery and charger, (you can’t have too many, right?). Therefore, I keep looking at others while hoping for a good sale on the Milwaukee kit. This Kobalt router looks like a good product, but I don’t have any other Kobalt cordless tools, so I would need to buy a battery and charger. That may raise the price beyond what I’m able to spend though. Then there’s that adjustment system: “The key highlight is a rank-and-pinion adjustment system.” What exactly is a “rank-and-pinion” adjustment system, and how does it work? lol
Seriously though, if I can get a battery and charger at a decent price, I may find a blue trim router amongst my power tools soon.

Lowes becoming a Chervon house has me excited as well. The three headed brushless line up of Flex, Kobalt, and SKIL should shake up the SBD tree.
Still kind of miffed at Stanley for killing off PC for Craftsman. While I know they killed off B&D as well. Why not keep PC as the mid grade line, and go all out with Craftsman to take on Ryobi for the DIY set, then develop PC to take on Ridgid?
