This thing works great! Very powerful! I got a really good deal on a "Used Very Good" offer. I received the package, which you can tell the box had previously been opened. But that's it. Nothing damaged, nothing missing. (INCLUDING THE INSTRUCTIONS) I am guessing this is one of the units that were returned because people didn't bother to read or understand the instructions. This unit comes with one 1/2 inch collet and one 1/4 inch adapter insert. This one came with the adapter installed in the 1/2 inch collet. To use 1/2 inch bits, simply remove the adapter. It is plainly shown in the instructions. (See attached photos) I ordered this unit only after reading all the negative reviews and coming to the conclusion that people simply did not know what they were reviewing. I am extremely happy that I got such a good deal because someone else failed to read the instructions, or even bother to look at the pictures! ... show more

    • Missing 1/2" collet, DeWalt replaced it eventually
Style: Router
Updated Review to 5 star: 16 Aug 2021 I had not seen any of the reviews here about a missing collet or two before I purchased it. I didn't look at the reviews because DeWalt generally makes very sturdy tools. I've had some for 10+ years with daily use and zero problems. On arrival, my box was completely sealed and the bags inside were still sealed shut. The device did not appear to be used or a returned item. ----Product review---- The 1/4" collet with the solid base and plunge base work great. Very easy to set up and there is almost no start-up torque (kickback in your hands when turning it on) regardless of what speed you start it at. The unit seems to get pretty hot though but so far has not impacted anything with the performance from what I can tell. I have about 60 minutes of run time on it now and it's still like new. I love it so far. If DeWalt can just send me the 1/2" collet, this unit would be an easy 5 stars. -------Missing 1/2" Collet------- Everything on the included parts list arrived except the 1/2" collet. I contacted DeWalt and they sent me an email asking for proof of purchase, serial number, and my email address. I sent them everything they asked for just to get another automated email from them asking for the same proof I just sent them. So far my only replies seem like a copy/paste scenario they run through with many other customers. I now have 3 different customer support reply emails, each with a different support agent name, all asking for the same things I already sent them in the first 3 emails. All 3 emails are identical minus the names so I doubt they are reading anything. ---- Updated 16 Aug 2021 ---- After 3 weeks of missing emails, different responses from different agents, and finally getting through to a human on the phone who didn't ask me to fill out a form online with no answers -- I've finally got the missing part in the mail. DeWalt shipped it out 2 day delivery and apologized for the poor comms with their other agents. I'm not sure if they saw my review but I can say they did not reach out to me through Amazon. Thank you DeWalt for holding up on the customer service end of things. With the missing collet, this router is amazing for the price and 5 stars. Would highly recommend if DeWalt can fix their supply chain / Q&A problems by checking the box contents. ... show more

    • 1/2" Collet Missing, Otherwise a great tool
Style: Router
The 1/2" Collet was missing. The only solution available from Amazon is to return the entire router and get a refund. I was not given the option of being sent just the missing collet.
