Five Star Reviews: | 48% Got the job done! September 9, 2017 Worked extremely well for the project I purchased it for. Great belt sander for the price. I have only used it once as of now so we'll see if it stands the test of time. go figure -- black and decker is better than the other brands! March 7, 2017 great product and easy to use -- highly recommend. I don't know what it is -- I was raised thinking black and decker was for folks who didn't really know tools. But I keep finding myself returning other tools and buying their brand -- and being so much happier. This thing is a beast. We remodeled our kitchen ... January 20, 2017 This thing is a beast. We remodeled our kitchen, started with a rotary sander and it wasn't cutting it. Got this and the job went by 10 times faster. Workhorse! April 28, 2014 I have a deck which is too uneven to finish with a floor sander. We used mainly 80 grit belts and ran the Dragster for 5 hours yesterday. We set the belt drift once at the beginning and never needed to again. I am online now to purchase a second one for further renovation so that we can have two guys sanding at once. The dust bag filled several times and kept the dust down to a dull roar. Black& Decker July 30, 2013 I feel the sander, the touch of Black&Decker sands as good as any sander I ever owned and I owned some anchors.I find that I can turn that sander in all positions for sanding all angles to complete the jobs.I compared each sander and the fact is this sander can do the same and more and because of the weight factor that you can sand longer with arms extended is something that can be differcult .Bites in and sander does the work.I just completed a large and complete front porchThe 2ND coat of paint is going on 07-31-2013,which is tomorrow.This is my 2nd Dragster sander by Black and Decker.I'll tell you my first sander that I owned for years,the Dragster by Black &Decker broke when I dropped it 4 floors.One piece broke,so I order the part and when I contacted Back & Decker they had the part and shipped it.I did recieve it in short order,but I still bought another one the same day I broke it. I found out having two,the work gets done in half the time with two guys. Check it out yourself,best way to know tools. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 78% Five Stars July 21, 2017 Exceptionally notable quality! Quality of the wrapping was stunning. Exceptionally swift delivery. Would buy from again. Best Buy--works great February 17, 2017 Great product. We use these belts for construction of wheelchair ramps. They are tough and hold up to heavy conditions. Price is the best I have found anywhere. |
Four Star Reviews: | 17% belt changes are easy. I'd give it 5 stars but the thing ... July 22, 2016 Works as described, belt changes are easy. I'd give it 5 stars but the thing gets HOT and doesn't like to be overworked on hot days. I like the smaller April 25, 2016 Unique design in that the front roller can cover difficult areas including using the top portion. I like the smaller, lighter design and adjustable handle making the sander much easier to handle. Great weight and balance November 20, 2015 Great weight and balance. Nose of sander makes it possible to get in tight places. Only pro models perform better, but for those not in the Trades, it is agile and performs to expectations. The average home user would not be disappointed at this price point and ability to complete it's task. As for durability, it has yet to fail me as it is only used occasionally. Good quality sander, not the best but still pretty good. September 10, 2015 Pretty good quality and a good price for it. The size isn't too bad, it's pretty easy to hold and change the belt, but I wouldn't say it's a great high quality item. The dust bag can be a pain to get on/off sometimes and the zipper on it to empty seems almost unnecessary because it opens just as far as the hole to fill the bag. But for a cheap little sander this works well. Did a nice job sanding my deck in preparation to re-staining and ... October 5, 2014 Did a nice job sanding my deck in preparation to re-staining and sealing. The dust bag would be better if it were a little larger. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 11% Mediocre quality sanding belt. Wears out really fast, ... September 6, 2017 Mediocre quality sanding belt. Wears out really fast, however it's a fair price for 10 pieces compared to Home Depot or Lowes. |
Three Star Reviews: | 10% Would not recommend this sander for any kind of heavy use December 22, 2016 This sander is woefully underpowered and it was hard to keep the belt tracking correctly. Might be ok for very light work. Had bearing trouble within the first few times I tried to use 80 grit paper. Would not recommend this sander for any kind of heavy use. Awkward to use took a few minutes to get the ... October 1, 2016 Awkward to use took a few minutes to get the hang of. Belt slips and tears if not on securely on or if you move in any direction other than straight. Sanded a table that folds into a bench. Haven't used it since. Will probably purchase a palm/orbital sander. Three Stars April 24, 2015 not so good. It works, but it will begin to make a groaning sound like it is going to come apart. It will work again and then sound like it is going to come apart again. So far has not stopped but from the way it sounds it could stop at any time. Decent for a basic sander March 16, 2015 For $50 this works fine. I bought it because of the folding front handle and low profile to get underneath my porch banister. the bag catches maybe 2% of the dust. I have used it for maybe a total of 2 hours now. No issues with the belt tracking as other's have mentioned. Good construction, Cheap rollers. December 30, 2013 Structural durability is quite good. However, driving roller and tracking rollers are ecentric. Black & Decker should have do a lathe job on their roller to balance the wheels. If you have enough facilities to make a new rollers for this beltsander, it's fine to buy it. However, if you don't, you will undergo problems. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 5% Did the job March 4, 2015 It did its job but Im not sure if it was because of the heating from the sander or these belts are cheap because they seemed to fray easily and break |
Two Star Reviews: | 9% Not what we wanted July 8, 2017 Had to return it because they no longer made the sanding frame that we wanted to buy, to go with it. Light duty sander. November 17, 2014 Not good for heavy jobs, its too light and can't handle rough grade sandpaper. Buy the Hitachi, its more money but well worth it. Pay the a better one. August 21, 2013 This belt sander is maybe good for 1 or 2 medium sized jobs. Before I finished the first job it has started to make a loud noise as if a bearing is going bad. I don't think this was a new product. It acts more like a refurbished piece of equipment. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 4% Eh April 15, 2017 You get what you pay for, and in this case, slightly less. These things become spent and useless VERY quickly. You get more than 100% more use out of belts that cost 100% more. Every belt in the pack split at the joint after ... March 22, 2015 Every belt in the pack split at the joint after minimal use and yes I had it going in the right direction. I was trying to remove aged top layer of some recycled deck boards but decided to just buy new boards. That was cheaper than the sanding belts!!!! |
One Star Reviews: | 16% Started as a 5, ended up a1, buy a different one. August 30, 2017 Spring load for the belt failed. It should have lasted longer, I was only sanding the floors of the decks Disappointed May 16, 2017 Trigger Shorted out and won't initiate motor anymore. Poor product. Not the quality I am personally used to from B&D. I've got 5 power tools from B&D and all others have held up VERY well, so having this one break on me was surprising. Plastic on the product broke the first time we turned ... March 12, 2016 Plastic on the product broke the first time we turned it on. We didn't evenget to use it !! Purchased as a Christmas gift - but didn't use right away. Now I am stuck with a broken product - past the Amazon return date - money down the drain ...... Didn't like it June 15, 2015 The sandpaper moves all over the place causing premature wear at the sides and rapid desintegration of the sandpaper. The motor smelled like it was going to burn out quickly. I ended up using my orbital sander instead of this to strip the floor of my gazebo because this was such a pain. Ended up returning it. Next time will buy a better one. RETURNED IT WITHIN THE FIRST 20 MIN July 18, 2010 AWFUL NO WAY TO ADJUST BELT, KEEPS SLIDING OFF. USELESS!!! GET A RIDGID!!! THAT'S WHAT I DID. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 2% |
