    I recently purchased this Orbital Sander, and it has quickly become one of my go-to tools for woodworking projects. From the moment I started using it, I was impressed by how powerful and efficient it is. The motor provides smooth, consistent power, making sanding jobs feel effortless, even on tougher surfaces like hardwoods.

    One of the standout features is its comfortable, ergonomic design. It’s lightweight and fits perfectly in my hand, allowing me to work for extended periods without discomfort. The vibration is minimal, which really helps reduce fatigue compared to other sanders I’ve used in the past. The dust collection system is also surprisingly effective, keeping my workspace much cleaner and reducing the need for post-project cleanup.

    The orbital motion ensures that the sander leaves a smooth, swirl-free finish, and it’s great for both large surfaces and detailed corners. Swapping out sandpaper discs is quick and easy thanks to the hook-and-loop system, which stays secure during use but peels off effortlessly when it’s time for a change.

    In summary, this orbital sander is an excellent investment for anyone who does regular sanding work, whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a professional. It’s powerful, user-friendly, and delivers great results. Highly recommend!

    Used this sander to sand our backyard fence. Comes with sanding discs but bought more to finish the job. Easy to hold and lightweight. Like the dust collector attached. I’m a novice home project DIY’er and felt this was perfect for beginners. I look forward to using it on other refinishing projects.

    Works great! Adjustable speed is a nice feature for the money, comfortable in the hand and dust cup works well. I’ve had a few Skil sanders over the years and they have all worked great and lasted a long time, looks like this one will be the same. Great little sander!

    I have been using a similar sander for many years and did not know what I was missing until the pad unglued. Instead of buying a new pad I bought this SKIL sander. It is so much better ! Much more powerful very tight and quiet. Has speed controller as a bonus too. As a con it is a small bit heavier.

    Does what I expect it to, bogs down a little bit if you push too hard but not to the point that it's an issue. Good value, I don't regret getting a budget brand for this tool.

    This machine is very handy! I’m using it on a motorcycle project to restore the fairings of my Africa Twin! I also bought a set of sandpapers too.
    Only thing is that the vacuum will not get all the dust. So wear protection!!
