The DEWALT DCW210B is a powerful cordless orbital sander featuring a brushless motor and variable speed control for versatile sanding tasks.

The Craftsman CMCW220B is a lightweight, cordless random orbit sander designed for fast material removal at 12,000 OPM. It features effective dust collection and variable speed control, though the dust bag can clog without a vacuum. It is best suited for DIY homeowners and woodworkers needing cordless mobility for medium projects.
