Multi-Base Router Kits
Tool Review

Whether you’re buying your first router or adding to those already on the shelf, you can’t bet the value and versatility of a multi-based kit. Of course you could buy separate fixed-base or plunge units for about $90 to $180 each. But with many of today’s combo kits you can get both bases and one motor for just another $40 or so, much cheaper than buying two separate routers. We tested 12 combo packs in search of the best—and it didn’t take long to knock a few out of the running.
