Is it corded or cordless?

It is cordless and runs on the Craftsman V20 battery system.

Our take on the Craftsman V20 RP Plus 3 in. W X 18 in. L Cordless Belt Sander

The Craftsman V20 RP Plus is a cordless belt sander that runs on the V20 RP Plus 20V battery system. Its brushless motor and variable speed up to 950 ft/min let you match belt speed to the material, and tool-free belt changes keep swaps quick. It takes 3 in. x 18 in. belts, the common size for deck, door and furniture work, and it has dust collection. It is sold as a tool only, so you need a V20 battery and charger you already own. Against corded 3 x 18 sanders it trades unlimited run time for freedom from a cord; against compact 3 x 21 rivals it is lighter but has a shorter belt.
