Yato 18V 3-in-1 battery-powered frame

The Yato 18V 3-in-1 Cordless Hand Router is a versatile and powerful tool designed especially for precise work on wood, plastic, and other materials. This battery-powered hand router gives you tons of freedom to move around since it's not tied to a power cord, making it super practical for pros and hobbyists alike. It fits into the Yato 18V battery series, so it's compatible with all Yato 18V lithium-ion batteries, meaning you can use the same battery across different Yato tools.

This 3-in-1 hand router packs three different functions into one device: it works as a traditional trim router, a plunge router, and an edge router. That makes it really versatile for all sorts of tasks like profiling, edge finishing, cutting grooves, and making plunge cuts.

The router uses a collet size of either 6 mm or 8 mm, letting you use a wide range of different-sized router bits. It has adjustable speed (10,000 - 30,000 RPM), so you can handle various materials accurately and under control. Plus, it's got an LED light to boost visibility and precision in the work area, especially in dim conditions.

The hand router is ergonomically designed, and its lightweight build makes it comfy to use for long stretches. This body-only version is for folks who already have a Yato 18V battery and charger, but if you need a full kit, you can grab that separately.
