Tool Reviewers Don’t Show This… Router Failure  @CasualDIY

Today’s video is a bit different — but important.

My Trend T18S cordless router, one of my favourite and most used tools in the workshop, suddenly stopped working. Since I regularly review woodworking tools on this channel, I believe it's just as important to share real ownership experiences — including when tools fail.

My router base video - youtu.be/CwLJ6SxnL1A

In this video I:

✔ Explain what happened to my Trend T18S router
✔ Fully disassemble the router
✔ Check for obvious faults or damage
✔ Try to diagnose why it stopped working

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an obvious reason for the failure — so now I’m turning to the community.

👉 Have you experienced similar issues with the Trend T18S cordless router?
👉 Have you repaired one successfully?

Leave your experience or repair suggestions in the comments — your advice may help not only me but other woodworkers as well.

This video is part of my ongoing commitment to provide honest, real-world feedback about the tools I use and review in my workshop.

Because tool reviews shouldn’t stop after the first impression.
