I bought this r2401 Ridgid reconditioned model after borrowing a friends earlier version. Some welcome upgrades: Quick-release and micro height adjustment (be sure to release thumb lock before micro adjusting), button chuck lock (don't need to use 2 wrenches to loosen collet), flat top lets you stand the unit on either end (nice for when changing out bits), push/pull on/off button lets you turn it off with the hand holding the unit, more grippy grip, modified dust collection on back. But most of all, visibility of work area is greatly improved-see pics. What a difference! THere's an LED that shines down to light the work surface, but lighting is not a problem so I never notice it. The only down side so far which is barely worth mentioning is that the soft start has a tiny kick to it; it's predecessor was smooth as buddah! Hardly a deal breaker, may be due to reconditioned status, but can't know for sure. Don't let the size fool you - probably the smallest one on the market (i have short fingers) but she packs a punch! About 7.25" high. Variable speed, very nice for finer, detailed work, but can still tackle a perimeter cut with a simple bit, just don't bite off too much on one pass. I make signs as gifts, this makes light work for small hands. 1/4" collet, wrench to loosen chuck included. Included edge guide is solid and smooth. A very nice, quality compact router with enough features to boast and brag with the bigger boys. THIS R2401 SHOWN ON RIGHT IN PICS, previous model on left.Read full review

Someone liked the last one I had and took it, I like it also, so I bought another to replace it, fits my hand, great for trimming and round outs, does not come with storage bag even thought they say it does, on the box that it comes in does not list it in contents, did come with a trim router bit, I rather have the bag, bought an inexpensive bag ,5.99, to store it in. Gave it a 4, but the tool is a 5, original bag is to small anyway, price is right, the guy that took my first one took a bunch of other stuff. Buy this tool.

I have a large plunge router (my first one) & I thought I could use a smaller one. After looking at reviews I chose the Ridgid for its reviews & for the price. The first time I used it (and only time so far) I was impressed with the power & ease of using it. I would recommend this compact router to anybody.

Great little router. I use it mainly for carving wood signs and with the led light and good sight of the cutting bit, it is perfect for my use.

Light weight, easy to grip and hold, powerful for its size. I really like the height adjustment feature.
