Craftsman makes one cordless random orbit sander on the V20 platform. The CMCW220 is a basic 5-inch sander that competes with Ryobi on price. It won't impress a cabinetmaker, but it'll sand a bookshelf just fine.
Craftsman V20 (20V) Platform
Uses Craftsman V20 batteries. A 2.0Ah pack handles most small sanding jobs. The V20 ecosystem covers about 70 tools at Lowe's.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Craftsman sander compare to Ryobi?
Comparable specs and price. The Ryobi PCL406 is $10 cheaper. Craftsman runs at 12,000 OPM (single speed) versus Ryobi's 10,000. Both are single-speed homeowner tools. Pick based on which battery platform you own.
Can I use this for refinishing furniture?
Yes. Start with 80 grit to strip the old finish, move to 120 for smoothing, then 220 for final prep before stain or paint. The single speed works fine for all three steps.
