Editor's Review: Your Next Random-Orbit Sander

by Andy Beasley review date: September 1, 2004

This pistol-grip sander is essentially a 5-in. palm sander with handles. It has a wide speed range, and its speed-control dial, which is within reach other either thumb, was one of the best we tested. Its bag was effective at collecting dust, but proved difficult to remove. This sander comes with a case.
