Pros

Small size, small orbit and variable speed make it perfect for lathe jobs when sanding is needed. The finish it produces is excellent with no scratches from the sand paper. The foam pad it comes with works great around corners, handrails, fuurniture e...  Read More

Random orbital sander works great in small places. Works at getting into those tight spaces that bigger random orbits cannot handle.

Purchased to refinish an acoustic guitar. I use it for polishing my vehicles in smaller areas. Discs from 40 grit to 240 grit is available for this tool.

    Dust port not a standard size

    And using my normal 2 handed grip the taper of the head of the sander right over the disc makes it a little hard to hold it can actually slip out of your hand if youre not paying attention

    Set up is simple out of the box
