Description

Milwaukee M12™ Variable Speed Polisher/Sander (2438-20)

The Ultimate Precision Detailer: Seamlessly Switch from Aggressive Sanding to Showroom Polishing.

Master the fine details with the Milwaukee M12™ Variable Speed Polisher/Sander. Engineered for the automotive and finishing professional, this compact powerhouse replaces the need for separate corded tools in tight spaces. Whether you are performing a localized paint correction, restoring hazy headlights, or sanding down a weld in a cramped enclosure, the 2438-20 provides the control and performance you need without the restriction of a cord.

With its Dual-Mode control, you can transition from a high-speed sander to a high-torque polisher with the flick of a switch, making it the most versatile detailing tool in the M12™ lineup.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

  • Dual-Mode Control: Dedicated Polishing mode (0-2,800 RPM) and Sanding mode (0-8,300 RPM) ensure the optimal speed for every stage of your project.

  • Variable Speed Trigger: Provides surgical control over the tool's output, allowing you to feather the trigger for delicate work or go full-throttle for heavy material removal.

  • Ultra-Compact Design: Measuring only 5.1” in length, it is designed to access complex curves, door handles, and side mirrors where larger rotary polishers simply won't fit.

  • Tool-Free Accessory Changes: The integrated spindle lock allows for quick, easy transitions between polishing pads and sanding discs, keeping your workflow moving.

  • 2-Position Side Handle: Includes a removable side handle that can be positioned for left or right-handed use, providing maximum leverage and ergonomic comfort.

  • REDLINK™ Intelligence: Advanced electronics prevent tool and battery damage from overloading or overheating, ensuring a long life even in high-demand shop environments.

  • M12™ Battery Compatibility: Part of the M12™ system, featuring over 100+ compatible tools, allowing you to share batteries across your entire cordless fleet.
