Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Router vs Makita 18V LXT Router & Circular Saw Combo Kit

Buy the Ryobi if you want a complete cordless router setup on a battery platform you may already own, with dual LEDs, an edge guide and a dust adaptor in the box. Buy the Makita combo if you also need a circular saw and want finer speed and depth control on the router itself. Reviewers rate both highly, though the Makita has far more ratings behind it. The Ryobi is the more complete router package; the Makita is the more precise router plus a second tool.

• Choose the Ryobi ONE+ HP kit if you want a ready-to-run router with battery, charger, edge guide and dust adaptor, and you already use or plan to use Ryobi 18V batteries.
• Choose the Makita combo if you need a circular saw as well and value the wider speed range, soft start and rack-and-pinion depth adjustment.
