From an industrial design standpoint, the Craftsman Cordless Square Sander is the result of a meticulous and user-centered design process focused on delivering both performance and comfort. At the heart of its design is an ergonomic form sculpted through numerous prototypes, each tested and refined to achieve a grip that feels natural and secure in the user’s hand. The result is the smallest grip in its class, made possible through close collaboration with engineering teams and motor suppliers to integrate a compact yet powerful motor—a breakthrough that enhances both usability and tool balance.

The sander’s interface is intuitive and unobtrusive, allowing users to focus on their work without distraction. From the placement of the power button to the vibration-isolated grip zones, every detail is crafted to provide a delightful experience, whether you're smoothing fine furniture or tackling larger surfaces. The form language reflects Craftsman's legacy of rugged reliability while introducing a modern, refined aesthetic that aligns with today’s expectations for cordless performance.
