Does it come with a battery and charger?

It is sold as a kit, so it includes a battery and charger. Check the listing for which battery size is in the box.

Can it use 1/2 in. shank bits?

No. The collet is 1/4 in., so only 1/4 in. shank bits fit.

Is it good for routing hardwood?

It can, but take shallow passes. Deep cuts in hardwood slow the motor and drain the battery quickly.

How does it compare with a corded trim router?

It trades corded power and lighter weight for freedom from an outlet. For long or heavy routing, a corded router is the better choice.

What is the top speed?

About 29,000 RPM, with six settings down to roughly 15,000 RPM.

Does it have a plunge base?

The kit is a fixed-base trim router. Plunge routing needs a separate base or a different router.

What reviewers say

4.8 / 5185 ratings

Owners of the ONE+ line tend to like the router for trim and light routing, valuing the brushless motor and the shared battery. The main complaints are weight with a battery and the limits of a 1/4 in. collet.
