- FAST MATERIAL REMOVAL – At 12,000 opm (oscillations per minute), the random orbital sander quickly clears away materials like paint, stain, and varnish.
- COMPACT, EASY-TO-MANEUVER DESIGN – Compact and helps reduce muscle fatigue.
- HOOK-AND-LOOP SYSTEM – For convenient sandpaper changing.
- ON-BOARD DUST COLLECTION – Easy-empty dust bag keeps your work area cleaner and improves visibility of the work surface.
- 20V MAX* LITHIUM ION BATTERY – Holds a charge for up to 18 months.
- INCLUDES – (1) BDERO20 random orbit sander, (1) 20V MAX* 1.5Ah lithium ion battery, (1) charger, (2) 5 in. round sandpaper sheets.
The sandpaper isn't gummed up, nor is it wearing unevenly. overheat more quickly. Turns right back on with no problems.
The orbital is more versatile but not necessarily recommended for precision finish work, unless you have a really light touch.
