Hi All

With the recent discussion about power tools, I read an interesting
review of lightweight routers today in good woodworking magazine.

The Trend T3 was the recommended product at £41, but the Ferm FBF-6E
was quoted as being amazing value at £25.

The point is that these routers are absolutely identical - not
similar - absolutely identical in appearance, specification,
everything. No doubt that they are made in the same factory.

Why does one sell for 40% more than the other? Brand name.

If your thinking of buying one of either routers have a good think, because
550W is really only suitable for very light
work and the B&D version is 850W and is identical and probably in the same
class price as the FERM?
