Title: Dissapointed with FEIN quality hype
Review: I bought this RT1800 when I was looking for a very high quality router I could own for a very long time, I saw the info in the RT1800 and I was impressed, light weight, soft start, 3 1/4 hp etc.. when I received it it was just very dissapointing. The vacuum attatchment was very flimsy, thin, brittle plastic and mounted where it would certainly fail. It only took one time for me to put it down and CRACK! went the vacuum attatchment. The height ajdustment knob has a lot of play, and was cracked on mine but still stayed on. The Plunge action works great If you are a heavy weight lifter and put alot of effort, the springs they use I think are meant for holding up a car. Overall I don't like it, the only thing it has going for it is that you can remove the bits with one wrench. My recommendation is go with porter cable, I will be tossing my Fein in the retired tool bag and it hardly used.
Is the review positive or negative?
