Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2723-20
One whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, published a hands-on review of this exact model (Milwaukee 2723). PTR scored it 9.7/10, calling it one of the strongest cordless routers tested with excellent sightlines to the bit, a pair of front LEDs, and precise 1/64-inch micro depth adjustments. Its CONS list reads 'No significant drawbacks,' with the only noted negative being mild battery top-heaviness that the reviewer says is common to every cordless router. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Strong real-world cutting power under load; Excellent sightlines to the bit plus dual front LEDs; Comfortable ergonomics and convenient variable speed dial.
Flagged: Battery makes the tool slightly top-heavy.
