Just Launched: Craftsman V20 Brushless Polishers & Grinder For Cordless Detailing

Nobody likes cords. They’re a trip hazard on the job site, and they are an absolute nightmare when you’re trying to detail a car. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, worse than spending three hours paint-correcting a ‘69 Mustang, only to have a dirty orange extension cord drag across the fender you just polished.

That era is over. Craftsman just dropped a new lineup of V20 Brushless tools that are cutting the cord on detailing and grinding. We are talking about three new heavy hitters: a 3-inch polisher, a 5-inch polisher, and a high-performance angle grinder. If you’re a pro looking to upgrade your mobile rig or a homeowner who cares about their clear coat, here is the lowdown on the new gear.

 Craftsman is finally replacing the old corded CMEE145 with fully cordless, brushless beasts. If you’ve been waiting to take your detailing game mobile, this is it.

1. Price: $159.99 (Tool Only)
2. Best For: Tight spaces, pillars, bumpers, and curves.

This is the tool you didn't know you needed until you tried to polish a door pillar with a giant 6-inch buffer. The V20 Brushless 3" Dual Action Polisher is built for precision. Because it’s a Dual Action (DA) polisher, it oscillates while it spins, which means you aren't going to burn through your paint if you lose focus for a second. It’s safer and smarter, and because it's brushless, it runs cooler and lasts longer than the old, brushed motors.

1. Price: $179.99 (Tool Only)
2. Best For: Hoods, doors, roofs, and boat hulls.

This is your workhorse. The V20 Brushless 5" Dual Action Polisher is the direct replacement for the old, corded units, but with way more freedom. The 5-inch pad is the industry standard for a reason; it covers ground fast but is still manageable on vertical panels. Pair this with a 4.0Ah or higher battery, and you can likely get around a standard sedan without constantly swapping packs. No cords, no hassle, just glass-smooth paint.

1. SKU: CMCG452B
2. Price: $129.99 (Tool Only)
3. Best For: Cutting rebar, grinding welds, and masonry work.

Replacing the CMCG451B, this new 4.5-inch Small Angle Grinder is part of the RP™ (Runtime & Performance) series. In plain English? It’s got more torque and runs longer.

When you're 20 feet up on a ladder or squeezed into a crawlspace, you don't want a tool that bogs down the second you apply pressure. The brushless motor here detects the load and powers through tough cuts without stalling. It’s compact, aggressive, and 100% necessary if you work with metal.

If you are still rocking the old, brushed motors or, god forbid, corded tools for mobile work, you are leaving money (and time) on the table.

1. Brushless Efficiency: No brushes to wear out means less maintenance and longer life.
2. No Paint Drag: For polishers, the lack of a cord isn't just convenient; it also prevents new scratches.
3. RP Power: The new grinder delivers the torque of a corded unit without a cord.
