Overview
The Milwaukee 2836-20 is the M18 FUEL Compact Router, a cordless trim router built for the M18 battery platform and sold here as a bare tool.
The -20 suffix in Milwaukee's numbering marks a bare tool listing, meaning battery and charger are sold separately for anyone starting fresh on the M18 platform. At 13 x 5 x 3 inches it's sized for one-handed edge and trim work rather than full-size router table jobs.
