HamerThe 'D' handle is definitely what was missing from my router set.When you are accustomed to having a trigger on your router, then buy a new set that lacks one, no matter how much you like it something is missing. This completed my DW618 router.Now, if DeWalt put a trigger on the plunge base that would be great also.I use it all the time and there was nothing to do when it arrived except, take it out of the box, drop in the motor and use it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Dewalt D-handle router baseBy R. GlaserThis is a much more comfortable and useful base than the standard fixed base. I really like having the on / off switch located on the grip. This is not only more convient but also safer because you have both hands securly on the grips when turning the router on or off. Having the handles slightly off center also makes routing narrow boards easier without the router tipping and ruining your work. My only complaints are the price seems pretty high for what it is, and when switching back to another base without the integrated power switch you have to be sure to turn the motor switch back to the off position before plugging it in or the router will unexpectedly start which could be really bad.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Favorite router baseBy R. DunawayThis is the off-table base I use the most. It's comfortable and being able to turn the router on without taking my hands off the handle is great.I have all three bases. The fixed base is mounted under my router table. The plunge base I use when it is necessary. This base is the one the router motor sits in most of the time.See all 4 customer reviews...
