Overview
The JORGENSEN 99224 stands out for its combination of price, buyer demand, and owner rating. At $56.52 with 400 units purchased last month, it has the second-highest monthly sales volume in this batch behind the Milwaukee 2836-20. A 4.6-star rating from 663 reviews confirms that demand is driven by satisfaction, not discounting.
Weighing 4.66 pounds and running without a battery (corded), the JORGENSEN 99224 is a straightforward plug-in router. The corded setup means consistent power delivery without battery management concerns, which many bench woodworkers prefer for steady routing tasks.
The JORGENSEN brand, known primarily for clamps and bench tools, brings a shop-focused identity to this router. At under $60, this is one of the few tools in this group that includes a battery per the listing specs (battery field reads No, confirming corded operation), making it a clean value proposition for shopwork without the added cost of a battery platform.
