My wife and I are installing concrete countertops with CTS cement all. After the concrete set up we needed a sander to polish the concrete. We ordered a SKIL sander which said was in stock. About 30 minutes after I ordered the sander in the store I get a call from Lowe’s telling me that it was not available and they had a better 3 amp sander that they could substitute it with. I said yes and went back to the store to pick it up. This Craftsman sander works good for polishing.

No vac connector
Does a good job of sanding. No hand fatigue from vibration. Dust bag is only good for maybe 20 minutes. The thing that really aggravates me is there is no connector for any type of shop vac! This looks like a Dewalt clone but I see comments that the Dewalt connector does not fit anything but a Dewalt vac!😡

suggestive sell
The product seems adequate. But the packaging is a bit suspect. There is nothing on the box, or in the directions that tells you that you need a sanding pad to make it work. A "suggestive sell", either on the product or even in the store, would have been advantageous, and good business sense too. When I returned to the store, they were hanging on a hook above the Craftsman display (dusty, I might add) but nothing that said "use this item with product # such-and-such, or any suggested accompa...

Sands Great Without Numbing Your Hands
I'm building a bench using construction grade pine and this sander has been working great. I'm sanding with three grits of sandpaper; 80, 120, 180, and my hands don't feel numb after sanding. I'm working outdoors so dust collection isn't an issue for me. Allot of the sawdust is collected in the bag, but not all of it, which is common with any sander. I watched some reviews on YouTube about this sander and it did better at collecting dust in the bag than some of the others. The bag attaches easil...

Check what you have. It might not be what you Want
Funny thing about this need for another orbital sander. So I get to Lowe’s. Go over to the section for Battery Supplied Power for Craftsman power tools. I find the section for the orbital sander, everything I was looking for. They are all locked up, tighter than a drum. I start looking for an Associate to unlock the cabinet. A young gentleman is coming my way. I ask him if he can get a product item out of the cabinet for me. He ask which one? I show him the battery powered sander. He does not ha...

Good sander until
This sander worked fine for awhile, but now it bogs down easy and acts more like a side grinder than a sander. I expect it to quit soon. I have had it over a year, but i I have only used it a few times.
