BLACK+DECKER 7 Amp 3 in. x 21 in. Dragster Belt Sander

I have used one previously and it has held up under extreme use for years. I’m looking forward to using my new one for another 5 or more years.

Bought one of these B&D Dragsters many years ago, maybe 10, and it served me well until I broke the belt a couple weeks ago (the original belt). The belt breaking caused the drive rubber to break and no parts are available. I was a little rough on it I admit. The no parts thing is the only fault I would find with this sander. So I bought the new Dragster sander and for the price I guess I can’t go wrong. It certainly works as well as my old one. As far as belt drift, once you get it tracking well it stays there. I highly recommend this sander. I use it for medium duty jobs.

Perfect for sticking doors!

This belt sander was a gift for my son. It is sturdy, does an effective job, is American made, and at a competitive price.

The three things I like best about the Black & Decker Belt sander is the ease at which the belt can be changed, the simple and effective way to adjust belt tracking, and the retractable hood. With the hood retracted, you can see the edge of the sander making it a lot easier when close work sanding is a must. I would recommend this belt sander for the home enthusiast. It is light and at 7 amps, provides a decent amount of power. It is well balanced and with the adjustable handle feels comfortable when sanding. It comes with a 2 year limited warranty, not bad for power tools and a 30 day money back guarantee.

Works fast a little noisy but ok.

Cheap does not always mean bad. This sander is awesome. Because the frontal circumference is much smaller it gets in places that other sanders cannot. I also used it for sculpting wood in different shapes or when a 45 degree cut needed that little extra nudging to make it work.

bought it because my son had one and loves it. Used mine once so far to “wall fit” a vanity top. Works great.

Best belt sander I have used. Love the design

This sander is excellent. Very easy to change sanding belts. Switching between coarse,medium,fine belts I have not had to mess with the tracking adjustment. just swap belt and run. Best feature after lot of sanding notice dust bag full. Very little dust on project and table. this sander was going to be a backup sander for my misplaced older sander. after running this machine I’m not too interested in finding my now older backup sander

I bought this specifically because of the flip up guard on the front end. Used it to sand my floors under the cabinet toe kicks. Has ample power for moderate jobs and is much lighter than my Makita 4″ X 24″ belt sander.

The unique design of the front roller let me get closer to edges than in my old sander. So far, it seems sturdy, at a good price.

I bought this because I was refinishing my hardwood floors and needed something to get underneath the toe kick on the cabinets. It did a great job.

Excellent product. Second one I have bought……

good

Light weight, easy to handle, quick belt changing, like the ability to get in close with the front cover raised and ability to change handle positions. Only reservation is with the belt tracking. Can be touchy, must be watched but easy to adjust.

I was extremely pleased with the sander. The power was exactly what we needed and did the job fast and smooth for our requirements. The belt was easy to change and the adjustment was easy and accurate during operation. I would recommend this product.

I have had this tool about a year and have used it probably a dozen times.Enough to wear out a few belts.It works great,gets in close to the edge and has been a nice tool,not real powerful but not too heavy either..i like it.

I rarely use my belt sander over my ROS, but this does everything I need to for the price. It doesnt feel like the best quality build, but I’ve had no real issues in the past year.

I like this machine it’s a best for wood work
