Just a reminder. The Ryobi does (not) have a variable speed option.
Thanks for reviewing but your wrong about power. The Dewalt is the most powerful by some margin. As soon as you load the Milwaukee it is clear the Dewalt is more powerful. Check other tests like Concord Carpenter. Thanks for reviewing though.
I own the Ryobi, got it on a sweet Home Depot daily deal. Cordless glue gun, cordless sander and the cordless router, all bare tool for 75 out the door for everything.
Whaaaaaa? That's freaking awesome hahaha
Wow. That must have been a buy one get 2 free. Good buy b
Great review. Would not have considered Rigid until I saw this; thanks, man. (Milwaukee had me up until the edge guide wobble. Most important for nice work for me.)
If anybody has a problem with the order you choose then they don't know your work you are a artist when it comes to making and building Things using routers circular saws grinders CNC machines there's probably no one better at making these things and hand painting you are on another level
Bro, what an awesome heartfelt comment. I truly appreciate it my friend
Everytime I want to buy a tool or check what you have to say about it, directly impacts my decision to buy it! thanks TRZ !!
Well done TRZ. Even though I'm a DeWalt guy, your points are well made. Happy New Year and all the best for 2020.
Thanks Grand, I appreciate it buddy. Happy new year to you and yours bro
I have the Milwaukee. It is an amazing little router that can do as much because of its size as my old craftsman single speed 1.5 hp beast.
Nice review and I like the explanations in determining the pros and cons of each. I like some Dewalt tools and own a few of the XR line, but also own both Ridgid and Ryobi. I bought the Dewalt router and find it really nice, love the overall feel but hate the adjustment compared to Ridgid and Milwaukee. I tried my buddy's Ridgid Octane router and just love it. DeWalt's mounted base is just a little nicer for stability, but not to much noticeable. I think Dewalt went with a half round/square base to avoid including a guide in the box. That's pretty petty and greedy of DeWalt IMO. I completely like the Ridgid feel and fence guide and it's a nice bonus to get them free!
Awesome feedback, thanks Rob👊👊👊
Aftr watching this it seems that the Ridgid might be a good pick for me. Thanks for your input.
Awesome review comparison, Thank you for posting, I'm shopping for my first router ever and this really really help me a lot, VERY informative!
Awesome, glad it helped Clint 👊
Great evaluation of each product. That crazy micro adjustment on the DeWalt is the reason that I went with the Milwaukee. I've used the day lights out of it and has not farted or hiccupped not one time. Having a wide rpm range , a large baseplate and great lighting made this a no brainer.
Thanks so much for the feedback Donny!!!!!!
I own the Milwaukee and ir really rocks, like a precision jewel.
Nice job!! I have both the Dewalt & Makita. Each has it's place with me. I do like the adjust on the Makita better!
Thanks for this. I was leaning towards the milwaukee anyway. ;-)
I do love my two corded ridgid palm routers though. Amazing feel in the hand.
Awesome! Love it. Thank you.
I'm gonna buy my first router.
From your preview it looks like either ridged or Ryobi. Price matters and also I also am attracted to that life time warranty.
Thanks for your work.
Because you are stingy
@@vladghetes Booooooo
Wazzup BRO!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE nice Reviews 👍🏼
You got it JR!!!
@8:00 BOOOOM! They done it once again!

Thanks Clint! You're a beast bro! 💪💪
Haha, thanks bro. Yeah its definitely an awesome router David
I like what you said about not caring who wins.
What a great video I believe you are spot-on. I will take your recommendations I will be buying the Milwaukee compact router this year I wanted the Makita but it does not have the micro adjustments like the Milwaukee does. Peace brother
Thanks so much for the comment brother. Let me know how you like it buddy
Did you get it is it decent ? I have loads of makita batteries and don’t want to spend on batteries and charger .have you tried it with the makita to Milwaukee battery adapter ?
I know you know better but at 8:35, m18 fuel battery? 🤥 Guy I just sold some Milwaukee tools asked me where the fuel batteries were. Lol
Great informative video with no extra crap. Good use of time
Great choice live this thing
Thank you for your top 5 I know one of the best is festool and Porter Cable not cordless I'm talking about
Got the Ryobi with battery. It’s 1/2 the price of the other ones. This will be my 4th router in my wood shop to be used for light jobs.
Hey my Brother awesome Top 5 Best Routers,Hey my Ryobi is #1 in my book lol later Bro,Happy New Years to you and all your Family and Friends much love :)
Happy new year bro👊
Have you tried the updated Ryobi (PCL424) model yet? Seems like they’ve made some major improvements. Curious on your thoughts!
I think Milwaukee and Dewalt are #1 and 2. Given what you said about Makita, I wouldn’t want to use it. I don’t want to worry about my router not sitting solidly on a work piece. In that case just use a Rotary/Dremel and call it number 1 for being so compact.
I have owned dewalt, makita, and ryobi. I never been used rigid and milwaukee but in my opinion, dewalt is the best. the retail price for dcw600 is not as much as $199, I bought it for $129. And makita is powerful, lightweight, easy to grip, almost could be the best but it doesn't have electric brake which is very annoying.
Thanks...great review...
Nice top 5 right there. I only have the Ridgid octane and it is a great router
What's up John!!!!! Yeah great router there bro👊
🍻🍺🥃
Two base plates and an edge guide with the Ryobi? Is this something new or is it old? Cuz I bought mine last year and it didn't have the round plate and edge guide. Ended up buying those separately.
I have been waiting for 3 days for this video, I am surprised that Dewalt was as high as it was, I knew Milwaukee would be #1 but thought Dewalt would be 2 or 3 but I also understand the reason as well.
Thanks for your as usual informational video buddy.
I need the Dewalt ASAP but it is pretty damn expensive. Lol
Thanks Mark. Really appreciate the comment buddy
other reviews have the dewalt as best check around
@@MrCubflyer I have seen some of the other videos as well.
I watch so many tool videos it is retarded lol, watching tool videos has become a massive addiction I may need to find a support group. Lol
By any chance do you know the model # or part # of a guide for the Ryobi 18v Trim Router? ( is the Ridgid guide available to buy at HD)
Thank you
Don't mistake RPM for power, just because it has a high no load RPM number does not mean it has power. I'm a Milwaukee guy, almost every cordless tool I own is a Milwaukee. Having said that I just bought 2 cordless DeWalt compact routers, batteries, and a charger. It would have been much cheaper to go the Milwaukee rout since I have 15 of the M18 batteries and several chargers. The Milwaukee is a little low on power and the regular base is too small and the other base is too big. It you notice the Dewalt has a much better base that you can run along a straight edge or works great to put your fingers on the long side to keep it from tipping. The adjustment ring works well and is not difficult to move the router up or down. DeWalt also has a superior plunge base that works great. You can buy the Dewalt for $150 on Amazon so the cost is actually cheaper than the Milwaukee. If you want to see a very detailed compact router review check out Rob's video (Concord Carpenter) to see how the routers really performed in a more realistic test.
Thanks for the review. Is the Makita or Dewalt plunge bases compatible with any of the other trim routers. I'm a fan of Milwaukee and Ryobi. But since m18 router dropped the wonderful makita router kit has dropped the price a bit and since they're such a good line of tools I think it's a great reason to get into their line. With red, and teal tools I'd be well prepared for almost anything I need. 👍🏾 Thanks again
Yeah they have the plunge bases for both 👊
Thx for this. Been watching your router vids, it seems the ridgid is pretty darn good.
So in 2022 holiday deal time
Ridgid at $80
Milwaukee at $99
Ryobi $50
Hmm
Thanks for posting this today. My Milwaukee guy will be at Depot on Monday and I'll be paying him a visit for a new toy. Quick question, does the Milwaukee feel cumbersome with the vac hose attached, or are you able to keep it flat on surface without too much attention?
I haven't had any issues with it. I've been using the ryobi vac and it's been working great bro
Ryobi is $169 here in Australia, we get 6 year warranty, but I hate how we get ripped off here in Australia
I like the Dewalt router.
I like the Milwaukee because it comes with the attachments will be getting it soon but for now I will get started with the dewalt
I actually really like the dewalt, but the price and lack of attachments lost points for it
@@ToolReviewZone yeah I agree
I use the Makita router everyday not sloppy at all.
Спасибо за прекрасный обзор, Milwaukee мог бы быть еще лучше, имея в комплекте цангу на 8 мм.
The rigid octane saw it in person it is the most compact router out of all of them
Yeah it's small but powerful. Love that router
@@ToolReviewZone nice router just dont want to buy a new battery platform got both dewalt and Milwaukee
I watch couple channel on cordless router milwaukee did finish the job with the highest rpm dewalt was the lowest an the dewalt beat them all
for the milwaukee, could you possibly use a piece of tubing or some kind of filler to stop the base plate from moving?
Yeah, you could or even put a dime it there. Dosen't really hurt the cut and is more of an annoyance really
I wonder if there's enough thread on the screw to use a star washer?
Milwaukee is killing it recently. I love their latest offerings
$179 for the milwaukee! It's 274 USD in australia!
Wow so Ridgid did not make the cut it's ok I'm holding on to my old Craftsman ball bearing professional router it's not cordless but does the job when I need it since am on ridgid & Bosch platform which of the two would you two would you recommend as a cordless option for me thinking of cutting the cord finally on my router my circular saw my jigsaw
Yeah bro, it made the #2 spot
Cheers with a beer
I picked the dewalt up on Amazon for 144 dollers brand new sold by Amazon i do need to find the edge guide as well as the dust extractor
That's an awesome price for sure. You can find them on amazon. I think the guide is around $25 and the dust around $15
@@ToolReviewZone I found them as well you can even get the vac attachment for the plunge base as well
One of the only rankings I don't agree with. The dewalt is the only one I've used that can reliably cut full depth dados. Not even the m18 could, the rpm is there but doesn't have the torque. If you're ONLY using it for trim then yea I could see the m18 being top.
Ryobi for the DIY'er for $49, FTW!
I want to pick up the Milwaukee router My Home Depot finally got it in and I'm hoping you hear something soon about a belt sander from Milwaukee coming out went and bought a rigid corded belt sander for now but looking forward to Milwaukee
That's awesome Joseph. Definitely let me know how you like it, and I'll keep you updated in the sander bro👊
How about the Bosch 12 volt cordless router?
Haven't tried it but probably good. Probably wouldn't hold up to theses though?
Nice. I was initially looking at both the Milwaukee and the Makita.... So Milwaukee it is.
Thanks for the feedback slams👊
Thank you Clint for making the Milwaukee #1, but wait, I don't own one yet 😭😭😭
Lol, its definitely an awesome router Honda haha.
“Makita dust extraction is excellent” (5:38) as it blizzards all over. #1 Milwaukee’s knob is loosening 8:10. Just messing :)
But it’s tough how all the reviews are so different. I think if there was a “best” router it’d always be 1
what about the bosch ?
I'm well into ryobi battery world.... so.... answers that.
Anyone that has dealt with Rigid's warranty department knows better than to buy any RIGID tools.
Milwaukee is the best.
at least you didnt forget the octane version existed hint hint @toolboxbuzz hint hint
Hi TRZ,
I like the the Milwaukee router but i do like the bottom base of the DeWalt.
I wish milwaukee had that option with the set. Or is going to make one like that which can be purchased separately.
Makita and 4bazes
The Dewalt dust extractor on their compact router is an complete fail. I am starting to look at other options than Dewalt tools due to their overall terrible dust extraction on most their tools.
The reviewer likes the fit and feel of the Rigid. Says it makes it a professional router. Ah...the Rigid and the Ryobi are virtually the same size, the operational controls are virtually identical, and the levers and knobs in the same place. The physical looks are almost the same. There are three major differences. The Rigid has a brushless motor, is variable speed, and today at Home Depot 12/04/2020, the Ryobi costs $50, and the Rigid costs $180. In the Rigid package are an edge guide and a couple of bits. I feel like this reviewer is being deceived by the brand.
Not to mention that Ridgid is the step-up for Ryobi.
@@jimmymac601 If you will bother to look at the various cordless tools you can easily tell that there are about 6-8 model lines that use the Ryobi tools related. Ridgid is not a step--up it is a copy. Ryobi didn't copy the Ridgid, but the other way around.
This isn't really saying what is the BEST cordless router , I wanna know what are the top 5 best routers without the price being a factor , Some people don't care about price
Price or no price, these would still be my top pics
@@ToolReviewZone sounds good , Thank you for the response I appreciate it
The Makita does not has electronic break
Ridgid's LSA is basically a sham.
You think Dusty. Why do you think that, just curious that all
@@ToolReviewZone It has been my experience that they'll find ways to not honor the LSA. Whether it's claiming that you didn't register in time, or you never registered, even when you definitely did. I have 3 products that I've registered for their LSA. Two of them suspiciously disappeared from my profile. The 3rd has been pending approval for months. They give me numbers to call, that give me more numbers to call. A quick Google search reveals I'm not alone. This shady runaround routine is their standard mode of operation. I'd take the industry standard 3 to 5 year warranty from the other 3 brands over Ridgid's hollow promises any day.
Lol that LSA scared me off their line. Makita or milwaukee for peace of mind for me.
I've had the same experience. You log into your account and it doesn't exist. You re-establish your account and your tool aren't there. You have to get approval to add your tool, you register, and a year later, it doesn't exist. I agree, it's a sham. You have to wait a certain period of time (I think 3 or 4 days) before you can register. I think they think you'll forget. All-in-all, I think it's a bullshit program that's designed to deceive all of us. I say go with the 3-year warranties from all the top line tools that feel better, perform better, and last as long as we need.
I also agree about the Ridgid LSA being a sham. Had the same trouble within the past year on 3 different tools. It took 30 mins for LSA to pick-up the phone every time I called. I have 5 new cordless Ridgid Tools, 2 of them only show 3-year warranty instead of the LSA. Receipts are scanned and uploaded on time. Went in store to speak with manger and told them if they didnt fix it I was returning all my Ridgid tools for false advertisement. They eventually fixed it, but it was a headache that I don't want to deal with again. However, some of the Ridgid tools are excellent in reliability, value, as well as in craftsmanship compared to the more popular DeWalt Milwaukee names.
Wood # festool
Dang, am I really first?
HAHA, I think you are Bro lol
They are or they’re not there are.
If rpm equals power then I guess these are all more powerful than the Mac truck you ran over your router with. 😂
Appreciate the review though. Good job.
Rigid - Lifetime Service Agreement NOT Lifetime Warranty . It is up to Rigid if they will honor or even accept your application for Lifetime service.
Watch real review channels and you'll see that the dewalt is #1 in all of them.
Lol, you sound like you are upset you didn't pick the best tool. You also sounds like you are 5
@@ToolReviewZone
Great call!
I'm sure glad that at age 5, I've grown out of throwing insults like a 3 year old.
And yes,
I'm serious.
Every other channel that actually put them to work, and not just going over a piece of ¾" plywood, with one pass, chose the dewalt.
You had 3 products made by the same company in your top 5.
Almost as if, you're trying to get some sponsorship deal.
I'm shocked you didn't shill all 3 for your top-3.
