Editor's Review: Your Next Random-Orbit Sander

by Andy Beasley review date: September 1, 2004

Solid and sturdy, this palm sander has excellent grip options and an effective dust bag that can be rotated around the tool body as needed. Noise and vibration were significant in our test, however. This sander comes with a case.
