I told the LOML to blame Jeremy

Yesterday Woodwrangler aka Jeremy posted a cash back offer from CPO Bosch. So dummy me followed the link. Well this is what followed me home. Thanks Jeremy




It is reconditioned but for $79.00 how can you go wrong. For those who are interested the URL is:

Scott, you will love that little router. I did not get mine for the price you did but still got a good deal. I would blame Jeremy also

Nice score and glad I could help!

I picked one of those up a while ago from CPO in refurbished condition ... no issues. Only you got a better price!

Sorry, Andy. Didn't they tell you it was spoken for?

Re: I told the LOML to blame Jeremy

Interesting to see two different posts on the same tool so close together. Did you see the other post?

Re: I told the LOML to blame Jeremy

Yes I did read the other post after I ordered mine. I have wanted this for a while so the other post would not have stopped me. I think the general tone is it is a great little tool but the bit changing process could be better designed. Anyone disagree?

You hit the nail on the head. It is a great little tool and one I use VERY often. The bit change isn't the best design, but I've favored few. You will not regret this purchase I think!

Re: I told the LOML to blame Jeremy

Nice score, hopefully they reconditioned the spindle lock. The one on mine just plain sucks, it doesn't lock the spindle. I had to grind down an old box end wrench to fit the slot on the spindle to change a bit the last time I used it. Other than that it's a great little router and one I use often.

Score!

Are you gonna give Tom a run for the money in the "who has the most routers wins" race?

Re: I told the LOML to blame Jeremy

Nice score Scott! I've never bought reconditioned tools, always somewhat weary of what might have happened to them. How different was this one from "new"?
