The Makita DRT52Z is a cordless brushless laminate trimmer and palm router powered by Makita's 18V LXT platform. Output rivals Makita's corded trimmers thanks to the brushless motor, and the lightweight palm-grip body keeps it controllable for one-handed edge work on worktops, joinery and cabinetry.
