Metabo HPT 18V Cordless Trim Router, Variable Speed LED Light, M1808DAQ4

No complaints - a solid router

Another solid product from Metabo. Has great power and never lets me down. I own several name brand routers and this one is my go to for trim routing.

Excellent tool. Well designed. Easy to use. I like the way the controls work with your hand to make operation care free. I have a corded palm router and of course you have to be mindful of the cord. With this tool you simply go where there is a need. Lightweight, comfortable and powerful.

Costs less than other brands and works very well. LED light shines brightly on the work surface. Clear plastic base is useful.

Good router, could used brushless motor with better power. Metabo hpt already makes it in 36v to address this, but has not released it in the USA?

I was hoping to catch this on sale but that never happened. This is a great hand held router that is very easy to control and use.

Great compact router! The variable speed works very well. Clean cuts and the dust shield works awesome.

Great tool for the price

This is a fantastic trim router. I have only used mains powered ones previously, so was a little dubious about its power and the weight with a battery. All fears unfounded - this is great, really great. I would not go back to a mains unit now. The Metabo is exactly the same as the Hikoki (Hitatchi) unit and it works perfectly well with the Hitatchi and Hikoki batteries (I have both older Hitatchi and newer Hikoki branded batteries and they are both fine). I bought the Metabo unit, simply because it was cheaper! :-) Great value, super quality

Exactly what I expected out of metabo. Easy to use and pretty good price point. Haven't used many other brands to compare it to but that's because I don't have to with metabo tools

Hikokiの３６vでは、長時間の使用で重いと感じていました。 そんな時に、このトリマーを見付け購入しました。 Hikokiの物と同じでUSA仕様と言うだけで、 全く違和感なく使っています。 USAからの輸入なので、破損等の事故を恐れていましたが、 バッテリー残量インジケーター表示のランプの真ん中が 消灯状態だけで、他は異常ありませんでした。 気に入ってます。

Works with AU Hitachi batteries with no problem.

This is a wonderful router & though in my opinion recommend.
