Kobalt router

Additional V1 promotion hopefully to a wider audience! I like it. :grin:

I plan to write one…but want to get the LR3 built and in action so I can do it all at one time. I read a lot of reviews when I go to purchase something, and feel the “I haven’t used it yet, but I think it is ok.” Type of reviews don’t add much. I want to be able to use it and give an honest review of how it works!

I don’t think I linked my video in the review… but it was a legit review because I actually had used the router. Speaking of the new Kobalt trim router though, are there anymore giveaways? I thought you said 10 and the last one was #7.

Still waiting for mine to get here :slight_smile:

Showing $89.99 for me on the website too, at my store, until Nov 30, so I got an extra day beyond what Doug was offered.

Curious about the possibility of Black Friday deal… I’m on the fence as to whether I need yet another router and at $89.98 I almost don’t have a choice. At $79 I would be pretty much forced to buy it.

I know, right?! I’m now “trim router poor.” I have 3 of the Makitas and one of the Kobalts — which is more than I need, and yet the other day I had the Kobalt mounted in the LR3, and Makita #1 in my router table, and Makita #2 in my hand doing some flush trim bit work, and only Makita #3 sitting on a shelf. I was already trying to avoid buying another trim router, and then Kobalt went and donated a 4th one to me free of charge.

Routers? Labeled? Shipped? Huh?

Maybe the contest winners? I haven’t seen anyone post that they got theirs yet

Exactly the winners routers have not all gone out yet. I was starting to get some questions so I figured an update was in order.

I just mounted mine! I’ll write a review once I’ve used it a bit.

I wasn’t going to get one right away… until I walked into a Lowe’s and saw one for $79. My wallet said nasty things to me but I bought one anyway.

I refuse to let my wallet talk to me that way my wife does enough for them both :wink:

Curious when the LR3 tool mount for the Kobalt router will be an option with the printed parts on the store? I can surely print it myself but would rather not get extra plastic I can’t use.

Well shoot, I thought I actually did that already. Let me fix it now.

Well, enough lurking in the forums. Picked up the Kobalt router this morning and just placed my LR3 order. At first I was waiting on Jackpot issues to be sorted out, then purchased a Makita router and returned it once I heard about the Kobalt. Excited to finally pull the trigger on this.
