Supposedly it makes the router easier to control with one hand. I have the
D handle for the Makita 1101 and don't like it very much. If anyone has the
reg base or plunge base and wants to trade...!

It is great if you need to operate the router with one hand or reach further
across your work than normal, most the time D handle routers are fixed base
& great for hands on & outstretched work on the surface of your material
allowing better visibility from the sides than a plunge router which is
normally operated from above.
