The GKF125CE has an ergonomic palm-grip design with soft-grip. It has ample power, with a 1.25 HP (max) rating.

The plunge base features a Precision Centering Design to keep the bit on the cut line, as well as a spring-lock plunge lever depth rod with fine adjustment. The quick-clamp system allow user to move the motor to move from base to base. The kit includes straight-edge guide and a carrying case. Review: A Most Excellent Small Router! - I bought this router package to supplement its big brother, the MRC23, because I needed to do some delicate, free-hand work. The big MRC, perfect for the big stuff, was just too bulky and heavy for the little jobs. Kudos to me ~ I find that I have made an excellent choice. The little 1.25 horsepower Colt has plenty of power to do all my trim and decorative routing with ease. The single downside is that, as noted by some other reviewers, it does tend to run hot in extended use. At first I found this problem minor and not enough to offset the many other advantages. The more I use it, the more I seem to notice the heat. Not a deal breaker, but definitely an issue. A couple of other reviewers have noted that the fine adjustment on the fixed base does not work properly. Of course, I haven't seen the particular units they complained about, but I have noticed something they might have overlooked. The clamp on the fixed base has three different positions: Locked, which would keep the fine adjustment from working at all; Unlocked, which would make the clamp much too loose to engage the fine adjustment gears; and a middle setting, which is designed to engage the gears without clamping down too tightly on the motor body. I find that when the clamp knob is turned to that middle setting, the fine adjustment works perfectly! After the depth is properly adjusted, you can turn the clamp to the Lock position and you're good to go. Again, I don't know exactly what the other reviewers were experiencing, but perhaps my observations might help. Another reviewer posted a scathing comment on the router after discovering that the unit did not accommodate the (non-U.S.) electrical system in his/her home country. In fact, the Reviewer makes several complaints, none of which accurately lay any blame on the manufacturer. (1) He complains that the cord cap (what he calls a “plug”) is the wrong configuration for the electrical receptacles in his locale. He asserts that he needs a three-prong cap rather than the two-prong cap on the cord. He knowingly purchased this U.S. product on a U.S. market website, ignoring that the same product could be purchased in the Euro version with appropriate Euro cord configuration. His fault. (2) Reviewer then looks for the “UK ready adaptor plug” which he presumes that the manufacturer should have included, but which no manufacturer of electric equipment does. (It wouldn't have helped anyway. He really needs a power converter so that his US tool can work with UK current.) His fault, again. (3) Also, Reviewer complains that he can’t find a power converter (which he thinks is an adaptor) for the cord cap, which means that he hasn’t even looked. Such converters (adaptors) are only sold at EVERY major retailer in both the UK and the U.S., including this site where he bought the router! (4) Reviewer next attempts to remedy the problem by rewiring the cord with a Euro cord cap, ignorant of (or disregarding) the fact that the electrical current systems in the U.S. and Europe are completely different. Merely changing the cord cap is, of course, not only a poor solution, but downright dangerous to the tool and the user. Another “his fault.” (5) Reviewer then expresses his disappointment that it took him a year to discover the existence of the problem, so he can’t get a refund. The fact is (clear from his review) that he bought the tool and then sat on it for a year before he did even so much as plug it in! Totally. His. Fault! (6) Finally, Reviewer concludes that somehow he has been “conned.” It is this last, wholly baseless, accusation that went a step too far and compelled me to write. Not once did Reviewer mention any flaw in materials or workmanship in the tool or any misrepresentation on the part of the manufacturer or the seller. Nobody got "conned!" It is grossly unfair that the manufacturer should be saddled with that horrible and inaccurate review and the accompanying 1-star rating, when the only defective thing here is the Reviewer himself.
