- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- The PSD101B is the bare tool; the PSK005 kit pairs it with a 2.0Ah 18V battery. Check which version you are buying, since the bare tool needs a One+ battery and charger you already own.
- Will my other Ryobi One+ batteries work in it?
- Yes. It uses the standard One+ 18V battery, so existing One+ packs fit. Larger packs add runtime but also weight.
- How long does it run on a 2.0Ah battery?
- Expect short sessions rather than long continuous sanding. A 2.0Ah pack gives light-duty runtime, and heavier work drains it quickly; a larger pack extends it.
- What size belts does it take?
- It uses standard 3-inch by 18-inch sanding belts. Buy a few grits, since the tool is best for light stock removal and finishing rather than heavy material removal.
- Is it good for stripping paint or sanding floors?
- No. It is a light-duty cordless sander. For large surfaces, paint stripping or floor work, a corded belt sander with more power and runtime is the better choice.
- How does it compare with a corded belt sander?
- It trades power and continuous runtime for cordless convenience. It is fine for touch-ups and small jobs, but a corded sander removes material faster and runs as long as you need.
- Where is the Ryobi PSD101B-PSK005 One+ 18V Cordless Belt Sander cheapest?
