Two tools, four package identities
B and K1 lead to the same tool within each row. Each listed K1 adds one PBP005 4Ah and one PCG002; the separate contents table still governs abrasives and dust accessories.
1 · PCL406 packages
PCL406B and PCL406K1 share the PCL406 body; K1 adds one 4Ah battery and charger, not another sanding mechanism.
2 · PCL401 packages
PCL401B and PCL401K1 share the PCL401 body; separately confirm the paper punch required for its sheet workflow.

What the four sales numbers contain
These are US official configurations checked on 23 October 2026, not a suffix rule for every RYOBI market. PCL406 is the circular random-orbit tool; PCL401 uses quarter sheets. Use the model comparison for surface suitability; this page addresses delivery and support identity.

| Sales number | Tool | Battery/charger | Other stated contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCL406B | PCL406 | Sold separately | Three abrasive sheets/discs; description also lists operator manual |
| PCL406K1 | PCL406 | One PBP005 4Ah, one PCG002 | Three abrasives; description lists dust bag and manual |
| PCL401B | PCL401 | Sold separately | Three abrasives; description lists dust bag, paper punch and manual |
| PCL401K1 | PCL401 | One PBP005 4Ah, one PCG002 | Three abrasives; description lists dust bag and manual |
The current short PCL406B list does not itemize a dust bag: a kit photograph is not a substitute promise. PCL401 instructions call for the supplied punch, but the current K1 web summary does not itemize it. Confirm delivery rather than treating a short list as proof of absence. Separating package wording from the operational requirement identifies the right question.
Existing ONE+ equipment changes the calculation
If you own sound batteries and chargers whose exact compatibility is established, B may avoid another power bundle. Compare the tool plus genuinely missing abrasives, extraction connections and accessories, not a bare price against a fully equipped system.
For a first purchase, include K1’s one 4Ah pack and charger. Neither K1 therefore contains two packs or guarantees identical runtime between tools. Material, abrasive, pressure and task affect consumption. An unused duplicate charger is not automatically a cash saving.
Both kit pages give PCG002 input as 120V, 60Hz, 60W. Imported equipment must match local supply and its actual label; a plug adapter does not convert voltage. That 60W is charger input, not sander output, and does not establish charging minutes.
Check delivery in order, without powering it
If a battery smokes, leaks or stays abnormally hot, do not approach, touch or remove it for counting or photographs. Keep away and seek local emergency guidance. Only inspect stable equipment safe to handle.
- Preserve the full B or K1 number on packaging and order; do not shorten it to the tool number.
- Confirm switch off and complete stop. If a normal, safe battery is installed, remove it and keep it removed. Record the actual PCL406/PCL401 label, full serial and additional manufacturing letters.
- Record battery model/capacity separately from charger model/input. Compare K1 against PBP005/PCG002, not similar appearance.
- Count abrasives and extraction parts; confirm the PCL401 punch. Three pieces without stated grits do not establish three particular grades.
- Pause assembly for missing, wrong or damaged items. Ask the seller with order, package list and external photos; do not charge, run or open faulty equipment to demonstrate a problem.
Use different identifiers for different questions
For a missing charger in a PCL406K1 purchase, provide the full sales number, order and received list. For poor disc retention on PCL406, provide tool label, fitted pad, abrasive packaging and symptoms. Kit battery capacity cannot identify a backing-pad part.
A useful record might say: purchase PCL401K1; actual tool PCL401, full serial in a privately supplied label photo; received PBP005 and PCG002, punch awaiting confirmation; please confirm applicable instructions and accessories. This is a record structure, not label data to copy onto your tool.
Match documents before preparing to use it
The checked PCL406 manual is 998000620, 11-25-24 REV: 02; PCL401 is 998000675, 8-9-22 REV: 02. Match actual tool and region, not an imagined new mechanism from K1. Keep battery and charger instructions too; the sander manual is not the charging manual.
Used, split-kit and retailer-added bundles particularly require comparison of the promised and received contents. Choose the right tool first, decide whether K1 power components are useful, then verify accessories before treating a bundle as better value.
