have been loving it
I recently purchased this Orbital Sander, and it has quickly become one of my go-to tools for woodworking projects. From the moment I started using it, I was impressed by how powerful and efficient it is. The motor provides smooth, consistent power, making sanding jobs feel effortless, even on tougher surfaces like hardwoods.One of the standout features is its comfortable, ergonomic design. Itâs lightweight and fits perfectly in my hand, allowing me to work for extended periods without discomfort. The vibration is minimal, which really helps reduce fatigue compared to other sanders Iâve used in the past. The dust collection system is also surprisingly effective, keeping my workspace much cleaner and reducing the need for post-project cleanup.The orbital motion ensures that the sander leaves a smooth, swirl-free finish, and itâs great for both large surfaces and detailed corners. Swapping out sandpaper discs is quick and easy thanks to the hook-and-loop system, which stays secure during use but peels off effortlessly when itâs time for a change.In summary, this orbital sander is an excellent investment for anyone who does regular sanding work, whether youâre a DIY enthusiast or a professional. Itâs powerful, user-friendly, and delivers great results. Highly recommend!

Works great for my job!
Used this sander to sand our backyard fence. Comes with sanding discs but bought more to finish the job. Easy to hold and lightweight. Like the dust collector attached. Iâm a novice home project DIYâer and felt this was perfect for beginners. I look forward to using it on other refinishing projects.

5â orbital sander
Works great! Adjustable speed is a nice feature for the money, comfortable in the hand and dust cup works well. Iâve had a few Skil sanders over the years and they have all worked great and lasted a long time, looks like this one will be the same. Great little sander!

Very good
I have been using a similar sander for many years and did not know what I was missing until the pad unglued. Instead of buying a new pad I bought this SKIL sander. It is so much better ! Much more powerful very tight and quiet. Has speed controller as a bonus too. As a con it is a small bit heavier.

Works fine
Does what I expect it to, bogs down a little bit if you push too hard but not to the point that it’s an issue. Good value, I don’t regret getting a budget brand for this tool.

Good sanding discs, knack to using
These have been good sanding discs for a number of household projects. The grit is pretty durable. It did take a little practice when using on mixed surfaces (think decks rather than tables) to avoid separating the backing – but if youâre careful or doing just single-surface projects these are great.

Pleasantly surprised by Skil products, especially given their budget price point. I bought this orbital sander to replace my existing orbital that was 3x the price, and honestly prefer this sander now. Same applies to the Skil mouse sander.

De entrada, Por la relaciÃ³n costo-benÃ©fico es excelente. DesempeÃ±o mÃ¡s Que bueno. Acabados y materiales sin problema, de buen ver y sentir. Al principio por lo que me costo $480 pensÃ© que era una lijadora EconÃ³mica y que por el precio bajo su desempeÃ±o tambiÃ©n lo serÃa pero oh sorpresa, trabaja Excelente, con poco ruido y menos vibraciones que una dewalt. Tiene algo que parece sentirse de menor potencia pero al trabajar realiza un excelente lijado. Lo Ãºnico que no me gusto fue que el colector de polvo es rÃgido (pero eso no es lo malo) y topa con la parte de atrÃ¡s sobre la superficie ya que estÃ© viene muy al ras del material a lijar y con poca inclinaciÃ³n puedes ir lijando y dejando la marca del colector de polvo a su paso. Pero es una excelente lijadora aun costo muy bajo ð
