Ponceuse orbitale, 1/4 feuille, 20V MAX XR

This is definitely a great little sander to have in your toolbag. I have used it from woodworking to drywall finish and it has never let me down. It has more than enough power for any job I have given it. My only issue is with the hand grip itself. I have large hands but the grip is still a little bulky for my liking. If the grip was lengthened it would be a little easier to hold onto. The set clips to hold the sand paper are very strong and hold it tight. I would advise anyone that plans on using this a lot to keep the dust blown out from the internal components after use. It has multiple access points to the inside and is very easy to accumulate dust.

Just bought this tool, my 6.0Ah 60/20V Flexvolt batteries will not fit the sheet sander. I have no 20V batteries for my 20V max tools, always use 60/20V Flexvolt batteries. I have a large mix of 20V Max and FlexVolt Dewalt tools, never had a battery clearance issue. Come on Dewalt, huge oversight by your Designers/Engineers. It looks like you rotated the outlet on the 5" orbital sander 20V Max (don't own that tool), suggest the same improvement to the 1/4" sheet Sander. Please send me one when complete and I will sent this one to you. No idea how the tool actually works!

I bought this the weekend after getting the newsletter that showed it's release. I have been so happy with it! The table is so flat and effective that you can easy sand things like picture frames and trim without worry of rounding the edges. In stead you get nice sharp 90-Degree edges that you would typically have to carefully hand sand. The Clamping system pulls the sheet very tightly to reduce any sag in the sheet.. Easy to use and the suction system works wonderfully, effectively reducing any nuisance dust. Worth every cent!

feels like a quality tool used it to sand the paint off of an old metal tool box and i honestly did espect the power it had. the price aint bad as long as dewalt dosnt give me any probably down the road if the tool ends up needing some maintenance i also thing yall shouldnt design the battery so that you cant use them on other brands then charger us 100 to 200 per battery and charger and their manuals are full of infromation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wasn't sure when i bought this that it would have the lasting power to be useful. We use hand sanders constantly and since the first purchase of this tool we have bought 6 of them. I turned out that this ended up being the go to tool. Only note is that the battery terminals can get cloged with dust so its a good idea to blow them out with some low pressure air every so often.

So the sander is nice but I'm having issues finding the correct paper size. The sheets don't fit correctly so having to resort to getting full size and cutting. Also I've read people having issues getting the larger 20v batteries on. That was an issue initially but if you take the bag off and put battery on then the bag back on it will work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good tool max battery size is 5ah with dust collector plastic housing limiting the battery size. It has a nice clip in front for sand paper and a old fashioned clip in rear. I have been waiting for De Walt to come out with a cordless .25 sheet sander :) very happy camper here

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you switch off sander , it will come back on by itself. I have tried pushing the on/off switch different ways, with no success. You never know when the sander will come on by itself. I feel its very unsafe. Was told nothing can be done about it.
