Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For the most part, I love this router, and would rate it at 5 stars, except that I am annoyed by the parts and tools that should have been included, and were not. It is my hope that a Makita employee, the "Big Wig "person in charge of customer service and product support will read this and take action. I specifically bought this specific router to do laminate counter top work, and was searching for a router with an offset base. As I said, for the most part, I love this router. My specific complaint is that Makita should have included three additional items for the offset base. 1) Collet 2) Collet Nut 3) 6 mm Hex Wrench, item 2 pictured in 5th illustration on page 10 of instruction manual. Minus those three irritating things, 5 STARS!
