The Black & Decker 2.0 Amp Electric Sander is a fantastic tool for both DIY projects and more detailed sanding work. The 2.0 amp motor provides plenty of power, making it easy to smooth out rough surfaces quickly. I’ve used it on wood, and even painted surfaces, and it performs consistently well every time. The sander is lightweight and easy to handle, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. I also appreciate the dust collection feature, which keeps my workspace cleaner than expected. Overall, it’s a reliable and efficient tool that’s perfect for both beginners and experienced DIYers. Highly recommended!

This is powerful dynamo! Works better than Sanders I've paid 3 times the amount for.

This sander is very easy to operate . It is quite Loyd so might want to order ear protection . It does the job . A bit cumbersome renewing sheets of grit but you get into a pattern and ability then it seems easier . The bag was very hard to maneuver into position . I don't see much dust being emptied . Hummm. It's a keeper. Beats hand sanding which I tried .

It works pretty well for what I need. the price wasn’t horrible. The sandpaper has held up so far and sanded pretty well.

That is a very small palm sized orbital sander. However, with that said it is very easy to use. It is a good electrical cord power tool that serves its purpose as a handy-dandy little palm sander.Take note: It is not very powerful. It does not have a lot of oomph or power to it to do heavy work, but it is good for light to medium jobs.Pros: The great thing about the Black and Decker 1/4 sheet orbital sander is that I can get any kind of square/rectangle sheet of sand paper, cut it into quarters (or size it to the sander pad), and then use it on this machine! It is great that I do not have to buy special sanding pads or papers for this machine. Any sanding paper will work as long as the user creates holes in the paper with the provided hole-puncher for the machine to collect the dust.The dust catcher is tiny but it works as long as you do not press down too hard. If you are putting too much pressure on the machine, the dust vacuum effect will suffer and dust will not be suctioned into the bag. It will seem that the bag does not work. However, if you do not press down hard enough it will not do major sanding. I have tried with 120 and 100 grit paper and only got slight sanding effects. It was more like coarse buffing.I have also used this without punching holes in the paper (so the suction did not work to catch the dust) but it sanded fine without any issues.Cons: The cord is not very long. So the user will have to work in small areas or with an extension cord. The picture is true and correct but I didn't realize how small it would be. It fits in the palm of your hand, and it is super light. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your needs. Light= Light Work.This is OK for small work. Sure, I am happy to have it but it was not exactly what I was expecting. I can certainly say that this is not for refinishing hardwood floor work. Yes, it can get into inconspicuous corners, but this tool is best for buffing or light sanding.I may find this to be useful for doors, molding, and trim work.Update: Summer 2016: It has been most useful to sand smooth rough cut saw wood planks and smoothing out repurposed pallet wood with the right grit sand paper.Conclusion: for the price it’s a good value for light quick tasks!

I had a similar sander that lasted a long time, about 20 years, same brand. I replaced it with this one. Feature wisely this new one is nicer. The press to run with lock power switch is a great idea. The dust bag is also a great addition. The cover to punch holes in the sand paper is nice as it allows using regular sand paper. I hope it lasts a long as the old one.

This was a replacement for a similar product but there was a difference that I’ll need to adjust my thinking to.Mainly, the old B&D had an on/off button on the front of the sander. It was either on, or off. This one, has an on/off lever on the back behind where your palm holds it. You can use it by just pressing down on the sander, but as soon as you adjust your grip, it will go off. If you want it to stay on you need to switch the lever on while you’re holding the palm control down. Just a little less convenient than the old one, but if you are sanding spots here and there, it could be convenient not having to switch it on & off all the time. I tend to sand large areas, not spots.

This does the job and exceeded my expectations. I was sanding a nitro finish off a guitar and it did quick work of it with the right sandpaper grit. It was also a lot cheaper than at my usual hardware place in Canada. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Es un producto bien construido, con materiales que, a primera vista, son de alta calidad; es una herramienta práctica y de precio bastante accesible. Muy recomendable para usar en acabados y remover barnices o pintura, o en restauraciones. Lo recomiendo enormemente para trabajos tanto amateurs como profesionales, ya sean de carpinterÃa o hasta alfarerÃa. La inclusión de un extractor de polvo ayuda mucho también en mantener limpio el lugar de trabajo y evitar que se tapen las ventilas para circulación de aire del motor. Adicional, recomiendo usar lijas con recubrimiento antiempastante como el estearato de zinc, ya que evita el tapado prematuro de la lija y prolonga la utilidad del grano abrasivo - el cual puede ser preferentemente óxido de aluminio de alta calidad o "seeded gel" - lo cual también disminuye la cantidad de lijas necesarias; esto especialmente en la remoción de lacas o barnices u otros polÃmeros selladores de la superficie.

Para ser mi primera herramienta de este tipo, estoy muy contento, buena, bonita y barata.La uso para hacer mis muebles en mi casa, no eh tenido problemas que huela a quemado o algo similar como otras herramientas que venden aquà en amazon.Me gusta que es fácil para cambiar las lijar y que no batallo para conseguirlas como otras lijadoras que eh visto.

Poderosa herramienta, un poco ruidosa y puede ser difÃcil de controlar con una mano, pero hace el trabajo excelentemente.Siempre perforen las lijas antes de usarlas para que pueda aspirar el polvo y las hojas duren más, las hojas muy delgadas o de grano muy fino tienden a salirse fácilmente de los agarres, para evitarlo pueden poner cinta de ducto o de enmascarar en los extremos para que los agarres ejerzan más presión y las lijas se mantengan en su lugar, asà también alrgan la vida y efectividad de las lijas pues usualmente al safarse de los agarres se rompen por la potencia de la herramientaTal vez el único problema qué tiene es que el filtro es muy pequeño y al llenarse poco más de la mitad comienza a sentirse ligera pérdida de potencia y aumenta el calentamiento por el trabajo extra del aspirador, pero si se conecta a una aspiradora domestica esto se elimina, tomen en cuenta que si la aspiradora no es ciclónica o de las que aspiran agua, deben ponerle un separador ciclónico para que la bolsa no se llene con astillas de madera que podrÃan dañar la bolsa o el equipo.Aunque el modelo no se comercializa en México, cuando necesité cambiar el colchón encontré fácilmente la refacción pues es compatible con DeWalt.
