*NOTE: this is not the budget friendly option, but I do recommend it if you purchase the recommend Milwaukee set as you can operate it with the batteries. If you are just an enthusiast, I’d recommend a the chorded option (that I what I use).
Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Compact Router (Tool-Only) 2723-20
