This week, ToolSelect.com handed a sample RT0700CX3 to Nate Horton, a trim carpenter and serious build-it-yourselfer based in Georgia.  Horton used the tool in a remodeling project, and ToolSelect.com's unique review format includes a video interview that captures all of Horton's comments. 

In the video below, Horton explains his perfect 5-star rating, noting the power and performance of the Makita Compact Router, as well as the ease of use and the value of the kit option.  Horton agreed with ToolSelect.com's Gerry Barnaby that it was "a monster of a router in a small package," and called the RT0700CX3 "the nicest compact router I've had in my hands, ever."
