ASIN: B08MZ5N428Model: 2526-20Category: Woodworking Routers
Overview
Despite being filed under Routers, the title and specs actually describe a 12 volt cordless oscillating multi-tool sold as tool only.
The category label on this listing is misleading. Everything in the title and attribute data, brushless motor, 12 volt battery platform, oscillating action, points to a compact multi-tool for cutting, scraping and sanding in tight spaces rather than a router for shaping edges.
- 12 volt brushless oscillating multi-tool
- 20000 oscillations per minute
- 16.01 ounce item weight
- Sold as tool only, no battery included
Who it's for
Fits tradespeople and DIYers who already own a compatible 12 volt battery platform and need a light oscillating tool for flush cuts, grout removal or detail sanding. Not for anyone who actually needs a router for edge profiling or dado cuts, despite where this listing is filed.
Pros and cons
- Brushless motor rated for 20000 oscillations per minute
- Light at 16.01 ounces for one handed use
- Compact 12 x 5 x 3 inch size
- Sold tool only, battery and charger separate
- Miscategorized as a router in this listing
Performance notes
The brushless motor drives an oscillating head at 20000 oscillations per minute, a movement built for flush cutting, scraping and detail sanding rather than continuous spinning like a router bit. At 16.01 ounces it stays light for overhead or one handed work, and being tool only, runtime depends entirely on whichever compatible battery is paired with it.
