Overview
The Chicago CP7200S is an air powered sander weighing 1.5 pounds, sized for palm-held sanding work. It requires a compressed air source to run, so plan for a compressor and air line if you don't already have one.
Air powered sanders like this one tend to run lighter than corded or cordless models since there's no motor or battery to carry, and 1.5 pounds fits that pattern well for extended handheld use. The listing includes a voltage figure alongside the air powered spec, which reads as a data inconsistency rather than a real electrical rating, so it's not reflected here. Buyers already running a shop compressor will get the most out of this tool without needing separate power equipment.

Who it's for
Fits shop and garage users who already have a compressed air setup and want a light, easy to maneuver sander. Not a fit for anyone without an air compressor, since this tool can't run on battery or cord.
Strengths and trade-offs
