You've “Cut a notch above” in your Videos! 😃
Complacency almost always leads to an incident/ injury. Good point.  
These 1/4 routers are handy for roundovers, on a project, or for putting a simple easy decorative edge on a piece. Anytime a cord is eliminated is a plus, but there is still no substitute for extended run times by using an electric tool, in this case, or with the use of larger bits, in really hardwoods, IMO.

Just got mine I am excited hopefully I like it. Thank you for the video!

Sounds powerful to me and am sure Ryobi will be working on a 1/2"version

[APrawks]

That is definitely impressive. $129 seems a bargain and look for it to be $89-99 at Christmas.

[ashleychandler]

Debating wether or not to get one as I've got a bit of tongue and grooving to do on some pine boards and I don't have a router table. Do you think it would cope ?

[Lostin]

The edge guide on that looks really robust and nice. Hopefully in the future Milwaukee will upgrade theirs to something similar to that. The current one is so flimsy and cheap.

[neilgettig]

$139 is a pretty good deal. $10 gets a battery and charger!

Thanks for the review. Is the stem for the plunge mechanism made of metal or plastic?

[MarkThomasBuilder]

What style of router bit would you use most often with this one?

[Nashvillesky]

Do you know if there is a compatible plunge base for this? Would the Milwaukee plunge base fit maybe?

[zackeryarnett]

Hey man I was wondering when the echo new Products are you going to unveiled for 2025

Looks uncomfortably TINY.

I'm 6'4"... Reaching under that ledge seems as though there will be issues just getting my whole hand to fit somewhere on that tiny thing.

😂 2 AH battery would probably last 5 minutes at the most
