The Craftsman V20 Belt Sander is a powerful and versatile tool that delivers impressive performance for a range of sanding applications. The V20 lithium-ion battery ensures cordless convenience, allowing freedom of movement without sacrificing power. The variable speed control feature enables precision in different sanding tasks.

Ive been waiting for this one to be released for a while.. and still waiting on that battery powered hand planer.

Craftsman's thoughtful design includes a lock-on button so you can loosen your grip, multi position handle to fit your fancy, a variable speed motor so you dont have to go ham 24/7, a belt track adjustment knob and quick release lever gives you a tool-free belt change. and this downgrade in bag technology. remember when the lock system was actually a lock system. this one simply slips over the port, i give it a few weeks before the plastic cracks.

Lucky for you Lowes is running a buy one get one free promotion which includes a two battery pack with fast charger, plus a bare tool of your choice. Typically they have one of these deals rolling all the time.

included in the box is the bare tool, no battery. a manual, 80 grit belt, and the bag.

The build quality is solid, typical of Craftsman tools, ensuring durability over time.  Overall, the Craftsman V20 Belt Sander is a reliable addition to any DIY enthusiast or professional's toolkit, offering a balance of power, convenience, and ease of use.

and a quick question for Craftsman, why do i have to start my orbital sander like its an old school plane motor?
