Bought one of these combos. I am very impressed with the fit and
finish. Runs smooth, gobs of power. Light enough for everyday on the
bench kind of work.
Helluva deal at 159 Canuckistani dollars.
Happy.

It's very similar to the Hitachi router combo set in design and HP, which is
also a solid little piece of machinery, IMO.

Indeed. The similarities didn't go unnoticed.
I ran several ( All told 6) M12V's hard in solid surface work over the
last 8-9 years. We beat them up pretty good. Never did one break. Very
good routers and I have mentioned many times in here that they're the
best bang for the buck. Unfortunately, they're out of production.
Maybe the new ones are just as good, dunno.
The odd time I will need a brute, I will borrow one, but I don't think
I will be using anything bigger than the 2HP of the Ridgid. I really
like it because it is lighter than most reasonably priced midrange
routers.
