Best detail sander
3 months ago
Awesome lil sander and easy to manage and get around small/tight areas. The extra padding with sand paper that comes with helps a great deal with not taking to much material off your project. Would definitely recommend.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing Little Sander

This thing is an absolute stud. It has performed impeccably to remove old stain and old paint, alike.
I purchased this specifically to sand-down old and antique furniture for refinishing; it did not disappoint.

Great tool

This tool is great. It has very little vibration and is very quiet. It has a lot of power with the 4 different settings and can get in small spaces. This has really helped fatigue on my hands and wrist.

Great tool very handy and very useful. Good on batteries as well. My only somewhat of a gripe which isn't even that bad is that the head does tend to get warm after some heavy use. Otherwise great tool

A great little sander!

Works really well! It effectively gets into small spaces and corners where my random orbit sander cannot. Leaves a nice finish. Vibrates more in the hand than I prefer, but that's my only complaint.

Fantastic and almost one-of-a-kind sander (only one competitor that I know of). Gets into places where big/normal sanders can't. Lots of choices of abrasives and different pads/interface pads.

Perfect for fine detail sanding. Doesn’t take too much off at once so you can accurately sand as much as you need. Good for corners as well, pads last for a decent amount of sanding.

Very handy tool!
2 years ago
Definitely a handy tool! I have other larger sanders for ‘heavier’ work, but this is will be a great ‘detail’ sander, getting into tight places. It comes with everything, ready to go to work. Included are, several various grit sanding pads the necessary pad to attach to the tool to accept the sanding pads, an extra foam rubber pad, for more gentle work, Included is the appropriate size Hex Wrench to remove from the tool and replace with the replacement, if/when that should occur. Not only do my spare M-12 batteries go to work immediately, but the tool also has an orbital speed dial on top of the tool. Depress the button to move the speeds through 1-2-3-4 seeds. The trigger is a varying speed, and has a Lock button on the left side of the tool. Lock in the speed you want, and go! It also provides a ‘headlight’ on the front of the tool to light up your workspace, and a ‘fuel gauge’ on the left side of the handle to check the level of your battery. It works great, and I’m really glad that Milwaukee knows what we DIY people need! And don’t forget, this is TOOL ONLY. An M-12 battery is required.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Small jobs only

This sander is great for small areas on small jobs. I was sanding my whiskey barrel and the long duration was challenging. This heats up quickly then you are waiting for it to cool

The 80 grit that came with the sander was perfect through body filler and didn't clog. This is due to the type of sandpaper that Milwaukee makes , it Velcro-s to the pad.

Got the job done, nicely built, a bit battery-hungry, but I guess that's normal for any tool that's going to be working for more than just a few minutes at a time
