Editor's Review: Your Next Random-Orbit Sander

by Andy Beasley review date: September 1, 2004

This is an expensive but well-made palm sander. It produced little vibration, has a wide speed range, and comes with a 13-ft. detachable cord. Dust collection proved mediocre with the bag attached, but when we replaced the bag with a vacuum, it was outstanding. This sander comes with a case.
