Well when I googled hand router only electric came up. Didn't even occur to me there was a non electric version, I assumed it would be all chisel.

Looks cool, but exhausting.

They usually aren't used to remove a bulk of the material. That is done with a chisel usually. They are very good at cleaning up the last surface and sneaking up on a perfect fit.
