Overview

Editor's Review: Your Next Random-Orbit Sander

review date: September 1, 2004

This sander's jerky operation required more effort to control than any other palm sander we tested. Its on/off slide is prone to accidental contact. Its dust collection is below average. It comes with a PSA disk with a one-time hook-and-loop conversion disk.
