I came across a deal for the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless Fixed Base Compact Router with a 6.0Ah battery and charger kit priced at $199. The tool alone typically retails for around $250, so it seems like a decent bargain. However, I'm curious if this price is considered normal for this router or if there are better options out there. Have you seen any other deals that might be better?

Prices are all over the place nowadays. I’d say $199 is decent if you need both the tool and battery. I picked mine up last year for around $100 with a two-tool deal, but it’s a reliable tool for sure! Just keep in mind that you'll need a full-size router for bigger jobs eventually.
Yeah, that's a solid value! This router is well-regarded and the battery's a great addition. Just make sure this setup suits your needs; if you want a plunge router or something to mount on a table, you might need to consider those options too. Otherwise, I'd say go for it!
This deal seems pretty standard as it's been around for a couple of months. If you recall, last fall you could get the kit with a charger and multiple Ah batteries for $199 too. So it’s not an unbeatable price, but if you're in the market, it's still a good offer. Don't forget to check prices on places like Amazon where I’ve seen the bare tool for about $125, and the battery for around $81, but that charger included in the Home Depot bundle is a nice bonus!
Good points! If you want this specific router with the charger, Home Depot's deal is solid, but checking for any other promo or bundle deals is always wise!
