An orbital sander is one of those power tools that you might not appreciate enough until you need to work on a project that requires you to smooth a surface or remove an old layer of paint or rust. Given this, if you think you might take on projects that require some level of sanding, the DeWalt 20-Volt Brushless Cordless Variable Speed Random Orbital Sander is worth considering. A highlight of this product is that it offers variable-speed control (from 8,000 to 12,000 OPM), which means you can adjust the speed of oscillations according to the nature of the project. It also has a brushless motor, which delivers more power and efficiency since the absence of brushes reduces energy loss as a result of friction.
When you’re using a sanding tool, dust collection can become a concern. But fortunately, this DeWalt orbital sander comes equipped with a one-handed locking dust bag that you can attach to the device. Using the tool is fairly easy as well, and the tool comes with a textured rubber overmold grip for additional comfort. We also really appreciate the cordless design, since this means you can use this tool if you’re working outdoors or in an area without direct access to a power outlet.
If you decide to purchase this product, keep in mind that it does not come with the battery and charger — these are accessories you’ll need to purchase separately. At present, the DeWalt 20-Volt Brushless Cordless Variable Speed Random Orbital Sander costs $169 on Lowe’s website, where it has an average user rating of 4.6 out of 5.
