I bought an open box version from a 3rd party vendor who sells on desertcart, and then discovered that the Ridgid guarentee is therefor not available. Review: The best belt sander ever! - Best belt sander I've ever had, I had given up on belt sanders for the longest time and just relied on palm sanders (took awhile to get some sanding projects done) until I found this one, and boy am I glad I bought it! I would recommend this sander to anyone interested in it. ## Features - This item is SANDER, BELT 3 X 18 R2740 28533 - This product is used for power-detail-sanders - This product manufacture by China ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001W0ZI2C | | Amperage Capacity | 6.5 Amps | | Battery Description | Corded Electric | | Best Sellers Rank | #560,698 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #213 in Power Belt Sanders | | Brand Name | RIDGID | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (251) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00095691285331 | | Grit Number | 80 | | Grit Type | Medium | | Included Components | bare-tool; attachments | | Item Weight | 8.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Ridgid | | Manufacturer Part Number | 28533 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 90-Day satisfaction guarantee policy, Limited 3-year warranty, Lifetime Service Agreement | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 950 RPM | | Model Number | 28533 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 095691285331 648846051802 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | ## Product Details - **AC Adapter Current:** 6.5 Amps - **Brand:** RIDGID - **Grit Type:** Medium - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![RIDGID R2740 Heavy Duty Variable Speed Belt Sander 3 in. x 18 in - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LTAWdBO1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great *by W***D on October 5, 2024* A fine product. I bought an open box version from a 3rd party vendor who sells on Amazon, and then discovered that the Ridgid guarentee is therefor not available. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best belt sander ever! *by M***Y on June 25, 2019* Best belt sander I've ever had, I had given up on belt sanders for the longest time and just relied on palm sanders (took awhile to get some sanding projects done) until I found this one, and boy am I glad I bought it! I would recommend this sander to anyone interested in it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not sure about power button *by J***R on December 23, 2022* Great sanders. Feels good in hand, easy to move and control. Would have given 5 stars however the start trigger seems to not want to start the motor, there's a tiny delay. I'm guessing this may be due to it not starting up at max speed. I don't think it's a bad connection ( wishful hoping) . I'm more inclined to think it's the brushless motor and starts a little differently. Will see what happens. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8097140-ridgid-r2740-heavy-duty-variable-speed-belt-sander-3-in](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8097140-ridgid-r2740-heavy-duty-variable-speed-belt-sander-3-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
