I haven’t used it yet, but I know from experience that it will meet or exceed all expectations for Rigid Tools. The name says it all.

Battery life is minimal. I love the Ridgid product line but the battery run time on this product will require major improvement.

Heavy duty! I sanded an entire western red cedar deck prior to refinishing.

This belt sander was easy to set up and use. The only flaw it has is that it sucks a huge amount of battery power. It took a 4aH battery from full charge to empty in about 14 minutes. Other than that, I was satisfied with the build quality and performance. I just wish this came in 4×24 size as well.

Very smooth, lightweight and powerful. Great tool.

I wish there were more choices out there. Also, maybe this tool needs a specialty battery to balance it out better.

I found the sander to be well balanced, easy to operate and easy to adjust the belt position. I was working on an out-building that did not have electricity nearby, so needed a cordless tool, and this sander provided the perfect solution to my wood working project.

Good enough for a standby sander on a large deck construction, decent price too…

Well, I’ve only used it once, but the main reason I bought it was so that I would not get sheet rock dust all over the house (terrible experience last time). and the sander collected so much of the dust, I barely had to dust the room I was using it in. even w/bag point up…
