I've owned several Makita trimmers over the years as a jobbing chippie, thought i was seeing things when i saw this (coughs) very similar-looking trimmer to you know who. When it came time to replace the bearings on my Makita (again) and the time required to do it i took a chance and bought this instead. This trimmer is absolutely superb, i have one set up for hinging doors, one set up with a roundover bearing cutter and one for general trimming all three of which still cost less than one makita trimmer. Of the three, two of them are used daily and have done for the past few months with zero problems. What else can i say other than buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very adaptable and light to handle . Adjustments are easy to make in minute detail . Well put together and worth every penny! Exactly alike the Marita equivalent for fraction of price!!!

This is an excellent router for the money, as good as the more expencive branded makes. I would recommend this if you want a palm router that converts to a small two handed router.

Very badly Machined parts on plunge base but managed to rectify and improve with a little work with a multi tool and addition of some washers, guide bush on main body completely useless and does not rotate central so replaced it with a ball bearing bush from an old router bit, motor body seems OK but yet to find out if the motor will last the test of time. added washers to all plastic screw fixings to prolong life of the parts. Also had to stick down the rubber grip on the tool as this was also badly done. All in all I couldn't recommend this tool for anyone who isn't prepared or skilled enough to upgrade it.

Having used it a few times the trimmer handles like a Makita costs less but with the same quality
