Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the SKIL Cordless Compact Router — a precision tool built for freedom, speed, and reliability in tight spaces. Designed for cabinetry, trim work, and pattern routing, this compact router lets you work without the constraint of cords while delivering professional results every time.

  • 1/4" collet supports a wide range of common routing bits for detailed edging, grooves, and profiles.
  • Up to 30,000 RPM delivers fast material removal and a smooth finish on both softwoods and hardwoods.
  • Variable speed lets you dial in the right bite for your material and bit, from delicate detail to more aggressive passes.
  • Depth adjustment enables repeatable, precise cuts; quick slide-and-lock adjustments keep you in control.
  • Dust collection helps keep the workspace cleaner during longer routing tasks.
  • Spindle lock for fast, safe bit changes so you stay productive between setup steps.
  • Lightweight at 2.45 lb for comfortable, one-handed control and reduced fatigue on extended sessions.
  • Fixed base and plunge base versatility — switch between edge routing and in-cut work with confidence, all in one tool.
  • UL Listed for safety and reliability in everyday use.
  • Case not included — tailor your storage setup to your workflow with this flexible, kit-ready router.

Ideal for DIY enthusiasts, hobby woodworkers, and professionals who value portable power without sacrificing precision, the SKIL Cordless Compact Router shines on tasks like edge profiling, decorative routing, light joinery, and pattern work. Its cordless design minimizes clutter and lets you move freely around large projects, aligning perfectly with both bench-top setups and remote spots on a worksite.

Pro tips to maximize performance: - Use the plunge base for grooves and mortises, and the fixed base for clean edge work to optimize accuracy. - Start with a shallow cut and adjust depth gradually; pair with the variable speed to protect bits and achieve cleaner results. - Connect a dust collection system to the port to maintain a tidy workspace during longer routing sessions.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
