Customer Reviews

Efficient Little Sander
After spending the past week sanding the railing of a very large redwood deck (a project I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy!)and using a variety of other big name brand sanders, I am completely sold on this little Skil Sander. I traded off, using a Craftsman Palm Sander, a Porter Cable Profile Sander, and a Black & Decker Belt Sander not wanting to burn out the motor on any of the tools during this quite large job. Belive it or not, none of the other sanders did as well as the Skil. It didn't fail me no matter the difficult angle or tight nooks and crannys. I used almost all of the attachments and all worked extremely well.
When I first purchased this sander my husband rolled his eyes thinking it was a girly tool. By the end of our first day of sanding he was reaching for the Skil as often as I. The velcro did come loose after tearing several of the sanding sheets off, but after a little super glue it worked great.
I would recommend this tool for any project, large or small.

Good, but not great
I bought this sander based on the reviews read here. I wasn't looking for a heavy duty sander, just something to sand down putty used to patch some holes in the walls before I painted. While the sander worked well, the velco did tear off after I removed the first sheet of sand paper (I, too, used super glue to stick it back on) but for me, the biggest issue is the dust collection bag. It collects a fair amount of the sander shavings, but once you remove it to dump it out, it is really difficult to put back on. I had to remove the backing (which is attached with screws) to get the bag back on tightly. This seems poorly designed and adds too much time to my projects.

Great detail sander!
I can put a smooth finish on any surface with the many attachments included with this sander. Especially like the flex attachment because it conforms to any surface shape. The sander is easy to hold and the attachments can be changed in seconds. The dust cannister keeps my work surface clean. I would recommend this for the many sanding jobs around the house.
