David Union Ultimate Handy Router 365

The compact size is what sold me—it fits in my toolbox drawer without taking up half the space my old router did. Power-wise, it handled a full edge-routing job on oak trim without bogging down once.

I’d been struggling with a bulky full-size router for small edge work, but this little guy’s compact size and surprising power made quick work of a tight dado cut. The motor feels solid, and the depth adjustment is super precise.
