   My main point is that this is an excellent piece of equipment. It's super easy to use, and delivers power you might not expect from such a small tool. Plus, the number of accessories available is what made this model beat out the DeWalt when I was deciding between the two. I tried both and could not find any other differences. So, unless you're trying to color coordinate your shop, are blindly brand loyal, or you really just want to spend extra money, I'd recommend this one.

   As long as this fits your purposes, you'll be happy. Particularly if you don't have strong hands (or strong anything) like me, this is a great choice. But for me, personally, I purchased this, then realized from the DIY instructional woodwork videos I was watching, that I need a plunge router (to use a bottom-cleaning bit for a lazy Susan). Just keep that in mind, depending on what you need a router for. I'm not docking a star because the router works great, which I know because I've bought and used the same brand's set with the plunger piece.

   I needed a smaller router for light duty work. My larger router is under a router table and I find it bulky for some of the basic work I do like flush trim, round overs, etc. First impression is the Colt is quiet compared to my Yellow monster. I still wear hearing protection, but it's almost unnecessary unless you use it all day. I like the collet lock and yes the router came with the wrenches. Changing depth is very easy and the depth measurements are etched clearly on the router body. All in all, this was a very worthwhile purchase. I will eventually buy the edge guide, but for now I don't need it. I do recommend buying the centering cone. My router base did need some minor adjustments, but nothing serious. You'll be happy if you buy this. If you are shopping for your first router, this is a good starting point. You will eventually upgrade, but you won't get rid of this one. Five stars! Two thumbs up!

   Excellent trim router. I was torn between this model and the Dewalt DWP611. I have used both prior to purchasing. They are comparable models but I like the grip on the Bosch model. I have used the router for a few months now and can give an accurate description of what you should expect. Like any trim router its a small motor that will heat up if you are aggressive, trying to remove too much material at a time. You can't expect to remove the same material in one pass with this router as the larger 2.25 hp unit. You can get the same results but it takes multiple passes. I have been using Whiteside router bits with this model and am pleased with my purchase. I own other Bosch tools and when cared for and properly maintained they will last.

   This is my first router. I only work on wood projects on occasion and only need a light router to be able to make dados and rabbets on shelving projects. This router was amazingly comfortable to work with. It's light, just heavy enough to provide a good amount of weight to be able to stay close to the project. The grip is very ergonomic! I've only used it on a couple of projects, so I hope that it's built to last!

   I bought this unit as a replacement for my Porter Cable trim router, as it has the larger 5.2amp motor and variable speed control that the current version of the PC doesn't have. Since it's a trim router, I'm not certain when I would ever slow the speed down (typically with larger bits), but it's an option. At first the quick depth adjustment with added fine-tune knob seemed like a gimmick, but it does make the adjustment pretty easy and fast. Plus, when it's locked it holds the depth very solid without any wiggle or movement.

   I received my Colt about 2 hours ago and because I am building a door that needed the styles rounded over, I used my new Colt. I read the directions, however, if you are like me, you have to use it before everything fits into place. It fits nicely into your palm, not much vibration, plenty of power, and after a few minutes of making routing mistakes, I got the hang and feel right and finished with a nice round over. It comes with 2 wrenchs, although, the spindle lock made the second wrench unnecessary. The quick clamp lever did not feel right, a little loose, I thought, so I used an 8mm wrench and tightened the quick clamp nut about two turns and the clamp felt a lot better to me. The colt is suprisingly light weight and you have to pay attention to the directions for locking and unlocking it because I, somehow, did not lock the tool after I had adjusted for the height of the cutter. I found when I started to route that the base collapsed back up supprising the hell out of me. I thought I had received a faulty router. After a second look, I realized, somehow, the router had not been locked. All in all, like any new tool, you have to get use to it, get to know its eccentricities, but all in all this is a tool with a different feel and one which will probably make your routing not only more fun but also make you a better router.

   I bought a Colt after I installed my only other router into a table and needed something portable. I don't do intricate woodwork but use a router to take care of construction details, like rounding over ripped deck boards or flush cutting a glued edge. I thought a small, light router would be more maneuverable along the edges of 2x and 4x lumber and would also work well for trimming laminate on some projects I've got lined up.

   I've been using a "full size" router for years, but I recently took the plunge on this little guy. I only wish I had bought it sooner. For 90% of my projects, this is all I need. The size is so much easier to manage, especially when doing round-overs on edges. The depth adjustment is quick and easy, and I find it much easier to change the bits on this unit, than a full size router.

   Love it, but then again it's a Bosch! You would think you're using a regular size router only this is so much easier to see where your cuts are being made and not so heavy, which for me is crucial given I am very fine boned (woman) and not much tensile strength. Highly recommend it.
