It has a 1. 2 amp motor and 13,500 orbits per minute, so it can do a good job with a lot of different sanding jobs.
Versatility when you need it most
Besides the standard 4-in-1 detail sander, this one comes with three extra attachments for fine-finishing large surfaces, corner/edges, and any surface shape.
In order to change these attachments, you don’t need any tools.
Between its micro-filtration system and the 1-1/4″ dust port for a vacuum attachment, you can choose how to keep dust from getting into your home.
In this case, a hook and loop system makes it easy to change sanding sheets quickly.
You don’t have to worry about vibration because of a soft rubber grip and a counterweight balance that keeps your hand from getting tired.
All of this so that you can work longer.
It is easy to turn on and off because the on/off switch is dust-sealed.
Fine polishing can be done on any surface, no matter how rough or smooth it
Nimble: This powerful and sophisticated sander can finish any surface with a fine finish. It also collects the dust to keep things clean.
All of your fine sanding needs can be met by the three detail attachments: a thin profile triangular pad extension for hard-to-reach surfaces, a finger extension for narrow surfaces, and a flexible pad extension that can sand curved surfaces.
More about this item:
The 4-in-1 sander has 14, 500 OPM; micro-filtration; low vibration; easy attachment changes; and low noise.
Let me start by saying that my favorite thing to do is to work with wood and paint it, so I know a lot about sanders.
I use them often.
I have the Black and Decker Mouse sander, which I think this is based on. There is one big difference, though.
To hold the Skil palm sander in my hand, it’s too big on the palm handle.
The Black and Decker is smaller at the handle part, which makes it easier to hold and easier to move around.
The Black and Decker also has a second way to hold it. You can hold it farther back, like a handle, instead of in your palm.
Another big problem with the Skil sander is that the sandpaper pads are a little bigger than the Black and Decker’s, which means that you can only use Skil’s refills. Otherwise, the velcro would hang over the sides and leave little swirly marks on your projects, which isn’t good.
I really wish Skil would have just used the same size as Black and Decker, like they did.
I buy cheap ones for my Black and Decker because I don’t like sandpaper pads that have holes in them.
A piece of wood with holes in it gets splintered by the holes.
Also, the refills for Black and Decker and Skil tend to be more expensive, so that’s another thing to keep in mind when you buy them.
I’ve put pictures of the Skil and Black and Decker next to each other so that you can see how they look next to each other.
There are a lot of things I like about this sander, but I think my Black and Decker is better.
3 stars: It’s not easy to hold when you’re doing small things, it doesn’t have an extra handle, and the sanding pads are bigger, so you can’t use generic ones.
