I was very impressed with the packaging for this router. It came inside 3 seperate boxes, and the router and accessories were inside the storage case as well...almost impossible for this router to be damaged in shipment!
The router itself has plenty of power and the handle makes it easy to use. The 1/8" and 1/4" collets plus all the accessories are just what I was looking for. I would have given this router 5 stars except that the trimmer base (which I will use frequently) is made from plastic and looks like it will break if the knob is tightened too much. I know...don't tighten it too much, but many times the depth setting is critical to a project, so you want to make sure the base doesn't move. We'll see.....
I haven't had a chance to use any of the other accessories, but they look to be much sturdier than the trimmer base.
Overall I am very impressed with this kit. I needed a trim router, but wanted one that I could use for other projects as well and I think this kit will do the job.

I like this router for what it is and the accessories that came with it, including the case. I am not a big fan of 1/8" shanked bits and the one that came with the unit broke on the first job, which was cutting a 3/16" dado in a pine board. MLCS does not list a replacement spiral bit as being available. The unit works great with 1/4" shanked bits and I have used it for sign making and panelling cutouts. I would have liked to see the plate with a hole to accept PC-style guide bushings, but had to order a separate plate for that, which is another story. Overall, this unit is well worth the price.
