When i got rid of my paslodes i got the Hikoki framer , 16g and 18g but also bought into the MV battery range to futre proof. I had the idea to add a few tools including the roughter . Im a Festool guy but i use the Mafell lo55 which IS the best router in the world no doubt . Thats the only reason im still tied to a cord , usually have power doing kitchens but i think i might need to make that switch . Been knocking out shutter jigs on site with no power recently and this would have been perfect . The fact they do the mains adaptor now as well is interesting, im going to end up with the table saw as well
Epic video gents! The Hikoki is a real beast! We still sell loads to this day ❤ We also give our customers a free 30mm guide bush in store 😊 Happy new year as well lads 💪🏻 4:16
I'd say the Festool OF2200 is the best router on the market by far in my opinion, but this cordless one looks absolutely fantastic! I've been looking at either this one or the Milwaukee so this video is timely!
I like it a lot. I did remove the standard base because I think the router bit hole is way too large, makes it a but wiggly for some edge routing. Instead I made a few bases with various size holes and a pair with an offset base which makes the router much better handling for edge/chamfers. Gives me much better balance when rounding corners. Powerwise I have no complaints, I have run it with large chamfer bits that barely clear the standard base hole - no problem! Great power. Dust collection is not class leading, cough cough but it is manageable.
Happy new year! I’ve personally never used it but I do love the smaller one my boy sammy sent me 👊👊 plus knowing the pair of you I can trust your opinions
Great test, men. I had been worried about the power of this delightful tool but no longer. However, I wish that it had a fine depth adjuster set and just as excellent dust extraction as performance. As you two are in the trades, what do you think?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Hitachi tools I currently have. They consist of the C12RSH miter saw, the NT50AE2 Brad nailer, and the SB 8V2 belt sander. I am in the market for a palm router, and this plunge router combo with the palm router is very interesting to me but my biggest concern is I haven't seen any accessories here in the US to go with the palm router, guides, additional bases, etc. This new multi volt lineup seems awesome to me for phasing out, when the time comes, my current (red) 18v platform which only consists of drivers. Does anyone know if Metabo HPT has or is going to have "accessories" to support the palm router here in the US. I am really impressed with the Hikoki palm router and have thought about getting it from Japan along with a 1/4 inch collet. Any help would be appreciated on my questions.

Mafell 1/2 router much better than festool but this gives both a run for its money if its cordless
Brilliant tool I love mine, need that bigger battery tho for the cordless tablesaw

Hikoki have been killing it as of late!
Couldn’t agree more mate!
I definitely love mine. Now do the hikoki c3606dum. Hey do you guys know of any shops that will sell hikoki and ship to USA
Hikoki is called MetaboHPT in the USA, exact same tools/company.
@@LluisTheWoodWorker you're right but they only sell the really old and outdated saws here. There are 8 newer and better saws that we can't buy here
Someone should show Mafell this video
That thing is a beast💯👏👏👏👏👏
Isn’t it just 💪🏼💪🏼🔥
Happy new year!

Desperate for one like this but with a very good vacuum attachment??

Nice bit of kit 👌
It sure is
Brilliant lads
Best router I've owned, so quite too.
Mind you that's easy when you're used to crappy cheap routers.
