It's depth adjustment system includes a seven-step adjustable depth stop turret plus a micro-fine adjustment on the depth rod for fast, accurate bit depth setting.

The PR011 plunge accepts several different Bosch routing attachments, including the RA1126 Tool-free Templet Guide Adapter, RA1054 Deluxe Router Guide, and PR012 Dust Hood. Finally, the PR20EVSPK also includes a self-releasing 1/4 In. collet chuck, comfortable forged bit-changing wrenches, edge guide for use with the fixed base and a case.

Product Description
The Bosch PR20EVSPK Colt palm grip variable-speed router combo kit is a versatile tool that's ideal for performing custom carpentry, trimming laminate flooring or deck planks, mortising hinges, dovetailing, and a host of other at-home and professional jobs. The PR20EVSPK owes its robust performance to a 1.0-horsepower (the highest rating for small routers), 5.6-amp motor that spins at a variable speed of 16,000 to 35,000 RPM and has a soft-start that reduces startup torque. Additionally, depth adjustment is simple with the PR20EVSPK: just align and lower the motor and then lock the router in position with the clamping level. Micro-fine adjustments are equally effortless thanks to the wheel on the back of the router's base. The new PR011 Plunge Base is designed to expand the versatility of the Bosch palm routers. The PR011 offers exceptionally smooth plunge action and simple micro fine depth adjustments with depth scales printed on the tool in both-Inch and metric measurements. The plunge base offers fast and accurate depth setting with a 7-step depth stop, two of which are adjustable. The PR011s plunge lock lever is conveniently located near the left handle and springs to the locked position when released, as most users prefer. A clear sub-base allows woodworkers to see their work piece at all times, and the units precision centering design makes it easy to adjust the subcase to keep a bit on the intended cut line when using jigs, templates, dovetail fixtures and other guidance devices. The PR20EVSPK combo kit includes the PR20EVS router and the PR011 fixed and plunge base. Both bases feature ergonomic, soft-grip areas for comfortable use and enhanced control. A tool-less motor clamp allows users to quickly remove the router from the bases with ease. Combo kit includes: PR20EVS Router, PR011 Fixed/Plunge Base, PR002 Straight Edge Guide, Bit-Change Wrenches, 1/4-Inch Self-Releasing Collet, and Carrying Case.

It has a long very flexible cord and a nice case. The case doesn't have bit storage like my big Bosch which would be nice. It's fairly comfortable for my hands in lots of positions and the rubber body grip helps to maintain a good hold. The plunge base is nearly identical to the bigger version, which is comfortable and easy to use.
There could be a couple of minor additions, like a light for the bit, but if you need a small router with plunge capabilties, this is the best I've seen.
First, its depth slips, thus causing major damage to the part. Recent research reveals that many people have complained about this defect in the design. For me this recently caused major damage to a very large cherry face frame that i was working on. It occurred three times before i figured out how to stop it by seriously tightening the body clamp after using the micro adjustment in the less deep direction to remove the back lash in the system. It took me many hours of hand sand work to salvage the simple round over profile to remove several long sections with big gouges in the work, to something that looks decent over all (not what i was after but not ugly).
Second is a major safety issue. The convenient finger rests at the base are completely unprotected from the spinning bit. Any slight shift of the hand might cause your fingers to engage the bit above the base. In my case 1/8" of the bit was below the base, with about 1/2" above where my fingers were. I thankfully had blue Atlas gloves on at the time when a slight bum caused my finger to engage the bit. I was supper happy that the bit did not cut into the rubber. I of coerce looked at the situation after the event. I was really careful after that, and more than a little amazed that there was no lip or slight barrier to minimize the chance of this in a hand router. I do not recommend anyone buy this router in its current design due to safety alone. I will be buying something else. I do not know what to do with this one however.
This router is perfect for cutting out mortises and quad-hinge recesses on my jewelry boxes easily without having to struggle with a 1-3/4hp Porter Cable plunge router. This is lightweight, easy to hold with the ergonomic handles, and plunges with no slop.
