Pros & Cons
Pros
Craftsman is a trusted brand. Very good price and was particularly surprised with the outstanding quality. The only thing is my palm gets sore when using it.
Now that sears is winding down, it's nice to get craftsman tools online. Has decent power, stays on track well.
The cmew213 is a great belt sander. It does a great job of sanding and has good power. Easy to use and change sanding belts.

It is a good price and value for what you get.
Overall, for the price it's pretty solid and works well.
Packaging/appearance
Mine came in an open box with no paperwork and a 60grit belt installed.
Competitiveness
I would definitely recommend this tool over similar brands.
Price was extremely reasonable compared to other name brands.
Price range was higher than some sanders in it's class, but cheaper than others.

Really wanted a heavier machine with 4 x 24 belt like my old craftsman sander but could not find anything comparable
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
That being said and knowing craftsman tools these days it come as no surprise that this craftsman belt sander is at best mediocre in the tool world
