DEWALT 20V MAX Router and Jig Saw Kit vs Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Router

Buy the DEWALT DCK201P1 if you need a router and a jigsaw and want one battery platform for both. The Ryobi ONE+ HP is the better router on its own: brushless motor, six speed modes, and a 1/4 in. collet that runs to 30,000 RPM. DEWALT's DCW600 router is a solid fixed-base trim router, and the DCS334 jigsaw is well regarded, but the kit gives you one battery and one charger for two tools. Owners of both lines praise the ergonomics; Ryobi owners note the plastic body feels less rugged than DEWALT's rubber overmold.

• Choose the DEWALT 2-tool set if you want a router and jigsaw from one battery system and already own or plan to own DEWALT 20V MAX tools.
• Choose the Ryobi ONE+ HP router if routing is your main job and you want a brushless motor with six speed settings and fine depth control.
