Editor's Review: Your Next Random-Orbit Sander

by Andy Beasley review date: September 1, 2004

This solid, serviceable sander was our choice for best value. The dust port accepts either a vacuum hose or the easily removable bag. Dust collection, however, is only average. The top grip is excellent, but the waist is too squat and bulky for comfort. Controls are weak: The variable-speed dial is recessed too deeply, and we found that the on/off slide was prone to accidental contact. A case with both hook-and-loop and PSA disks is included.
