There are so many out there to get,this stanley one seems good and a nice bit of spec.

Charged batteries and only taken 30 mins when full.

    ultimate recommendation.

    'feestool' best in the business.still using a 1/4" router over 20 years later.the drills are amazing.BUT you need a mortgage.

    Have you been buying the chinese rip off version Gregers? I think you meant Festool not feestool!:D
