A lightweight, 2 pound M18 cordless sander sold bare. Makes sense if you already own M18 batteries; budget separately for a battery and charger if you do not.

Overview
Milwaukee's 2648-20 is an 18 volt cordless random orbit sander sold as a bare tool, weighing 2 pounds and measuring 11 by 6 by 7 inches.
The dash-20 in Milwaukee's model number is the company's standard marking for a bare tool, meaning battery and charger are typically sold apart from the sander itself. No seller description or reviews are attached to this listing, so pad size and dust collection details are not confirmed beyond the model line.
- 18 volt M18 cordless platform
- 2 pound tool weight
- 11 x 6 x 7 inch dimensions
- Bare tool, model 2648-20
Who it's for
Fits someone already invested in Milwaukee's M18 battery platform who wants a lightweight cordless sander to add to it. Not a fit for a buyer expecting a battery and charger included, since bare tool listings typically exclude both.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight at 2 pounds for extended use
- Cordless on the 18 volt M18 platform
- Compact 11 x 6 x 7 inch size
- Sold bare, no battery or charger included
- Pad size and dust collection not specified
Performance notes
At 2 pounds, the sander is light enough for extended one-handed sanding sessions, and running on the 18 volt M18 platform removes the cord from the equation for mobility around a job site or bench. As a bare tool it depends on an already-charged M18 battery to run.
