AVID POWER Compact Router Review: Right for Our Shop?
We brought the AVID POWER 6.5 Amp (1.25 HP) Compact Router into our shop looking for a small router that could still feel grown-up at the bench. Right away, the fixed base and 65mm body made it easy to control one-handed, especially when trimming plywood edges and easing corners on solid stock. The six variable speeds gave us room to match RPM to different bit sizes, and the included trim router bits were handy for quick setup without rummaging through drawers. We also appreciated the edge guide and roller guide for repeatable passes, while the dust hood helped keep the chaos down-though not completely gone. After a few projects, we’re asking: is this the budget-friendly workhorse our workflow needs?
WINZZ EGM100 Router Review: Right Tool for Our Shop?
When we first unboxed the WINZZ EGM100 30 Inches Real Kids Electric Guitar with Beginner Kit (Right Handed, Blueburst), we had to laugh at our own headline—this clearly isn’t a router, but it might be the right tool for our shop in a different way. The compact 30-inch size feels purpose-built for younger hands, and the Blueburst finish looks surprisingly “real instrument” rather than toyish. We liked that the beginner kit keeps the setup simple, letting us focus on whether it’s comfortable to hold, easy to fret, and fun to play right away. In our testing space, it became less about specs and more about momentum: can it spark practice without frustration? So far, it’s making a strong case.
