I loved using this elegantly simple trim router, because bitheight adjustments are quick and accurate. There is a lead screw for micro-adjustments, but a push of your thumb disengages the mechanism so that rough adjustments can be made. It also is comfortable to hold, making it a favorite when it came time to round edges. There’s a large opening in the base, a clear sub-base, and an LED light, all of which add up to great visibility. Bit changes are a snap. There also is a second, square sub-base, which is just what you need to guide the router with a straightedge, and an edge guide. It can’t match the DeWalt’s versatility, but it is easier to handle for light routing, and much less expensive.

Craftsman Random Orbit Sander

While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
