Has anyone tried one of these http://tinyurl.com/7ag7e ?

It sounds too good to be true for 60 quid - but I've bought other Erbauer
kit which seems to be fairly well made. Any comments?


It looks like yet another a badge engineered model that seems popular
with alot of suppliers

Even axminster have a version:-

NuTool also do a version of it.

I have "handled" a few of the varients, and they are nothing special,
but then again they are not obviously really nasty either. As usual you
may find the power output at the sharp end a bit disapointing for heavy
work, and the quality of finish achieveable not first class.

Depends on what you need it for really. Decent 1/2" routers tend to
start with something like the Freud FT2000E - but that will be over 100
more!
