Ryobi - Ryobi- TR45K Trim Router
The Ryobi TR45K trim router's height is adjusted by pushing the motor in or pulling it out.
Jun 02, 2011
The Ryobi fit well in my hand and was comfortable to use for extended periods of edgechamfering. However, it was difficult to set the bit height, because the motor slides freely in the base. Height is adjusted by pushing the motor in or pulling it out, an approach that works for coarse changes but makes fine adjustments difficult.

Festool Cleantec CT 26 E HEPA Dust Extractor
The clear winner here is Festool’s CT 48 Dust Extractor. It has amazing capacity relative to its size, and unmatched suction power. It packs in a number of subtle but very helpful design touches, like a clever foot brake and easy hose and cord storage.
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.
Fein Turbo II HEPA Wet/Dry Dust Extractor
Among the most powerful HEPA-rated shop vacs on the market, Fein’s Turbo II is quieter, more compact, and nimbler than the rest.
