Sanding game changer

This sander is great! Does an excellent job smoothing out material and the ability to get into tight spots is a game changer. Definitely beats hand sanding.

Nice size detail sander, light, well balanced, and not leaving as many scratches as a multitool. The only thing it is lacking is dust collection hoockup.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Better than an oscillating multi tool
a year ago
This works significantly better than an OMT with a sanding pad. Faster material removal. Quieter. Less vibration. Fits in smaller areas. Totally worth it.
Yes, I recommend this product.
