Go ahead and say it: It looks like a race car. That's what we said, too, and were ready to dismiss it as a gimmick. But then we tried it, and we stopped smirking. The smaller front roller changes everything you know about using a belt sander, making the belt's route more of a triangle than an oval. And because of that, you can get the grit to spaces you couldn't with a standard belt sander—for example, you can actually scoot right up to the baseboard when sanding a floor. There's more contact area with this design, and while that may be a moot point, we think it's still worth mentioning. We really like the three-position handle; it adjusts easily and lets you have the grip you need to be in control of an aggressive tool like this one. The dust collector works as well as any on a belt sander (meaning you're still going to have a mess to clean up). Belt changes are pretty straightforward and easy, thanks to the simple belt release lever. Because it's not a high-end tool, don't expect impeccable belt tracking here; still, the adjustment knob does a good job of tracking. This is one of those why-didn't-someone-think-of-this-sooner tools. Such a simple design change offers so much more utility in a well-priced staple of the workshop.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste


From the Manufacturer
Black & Decker introduces the new 3-by-21-inch Dragster, a belt sander with a radical new low-profile front-end design to offer the most versatility of any belt sander on the market. With its low-profile front roller the Dragster sands more surface area and closer to vertical surfaces such as baseboard, compared to standard belt sanders with large block-style front ends. The tapered front of the Dragster allows you to sand in narrow, confined spaces such as under cabinets or deck rails. The low-profile design also allows you to sand in slim spaces such as between spindles or narrow spaces in your woodworking projects. A retractable locking hood on the front of the sander lifts to expose the top of the belt. With the hood up, you can sand with the top, front-end and bottom of the belt to sand in confined areas such as under chair backs, fronts of dressers and inside curved woodworking projects for rapid material removal. The retractable locking hood also allows you to sand with the curved surface of the front of the Belt Sander for contouring and shaping. The Dragster's side design allows for flush in-line sanding on hardwood floors against baseboards or a shelf. The Dragster features a 3-position adjustable locking handle, instead of a typical one-handle position. The handle easily adapts to a range of projects and maximizes comfort and control. A powerful 6.0 amp high-performance motor sands 800 feet per minute. Metal components on the Dragster add to its durability, and a dust collection system creates a cleaner work area.
