It's a game-changer for my DIY projects. The interchangeable base plates make it incredibly versatile, allowing me to switch from finishing large surfaces to sanding intricate details and even reaching tight corners with ease. The hook and loop system for the sandpaper is a huge time saver, and the micro filtration dust collector does a fantastic job of keeping my workspace somewhat clean. What I appreciate most is the thoughtful design. It's lightweight and comfortable to hold, with minimal vibration, which means I can work for longer periods without fatigue. The pressure control technology is another excellent feature, as it lets me know if I'm applying too much pressure. This sander is a powerful and efficient tool that has exceeded all my expectations. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or a weekend DIYer, I highly recommend adding this to your toolbox.d Read more

This SKIL detail sander is a great little machine for small projects. The quality and sturdiness of the tool are immediately apparent. It’s reasonably lightweight and very easy to handle, making the overall ease of use excellent, especially in tight corners. It includes several functions with the additional attachments, making it versatile. While it’s certainly not quiet, the loudness is manageable for a power tool. The micro-filter dust box makes clean up much simpler, capturing most of the fine dust. Assembly is just clipping the attachments on, so it’s easy. For the price, it’s excellent value for money and saves a surprising amount of time compared to hand sanding. Read more
Solid tool, the sanding capacity depends on the sandpaper itself. The tool is ready for most jobs. Nothing to small. Easy to maneuver. It is loud, and that will depend on what you're sanding as well. Read more

So far so good! Just started a project today. The sander is easy to use. Easy to turn on and off. The cord is not very long, but maybe that's standard. Works well so far, you don't notice any vibration until you get done using it. It's a good speed. The sand paper seems to adhere well. Good value. Read more
Performs well. Relativity quiet. Good value Read more
12/2025: I got this sander to replace one of my dad's old sanders that was just too noisy for me to use anymore. The Skil sander does sand very well. The sanding pads are so easy to attach. It's quiet. I really like these aspects of it. The main problem is that, even with the filter, there is SO MUCH DUST. Attaching a vacuum hose doesn't seem to help much either. Although I took a couple of pics of the sander after < 5 minutes of use, I didn't take pictures of the dust that settled over my entire kitchen. I even tried draping several layers of fine cheesecloth over the sander and sanding area to try to catch the flying dust. It couldn't contain it, either. Has anyone successfully addressed this problem? Is there something I'm missing? 1/2026: I finally got around to one other very small sanding project I wanted to do before I decided whether to keep the sander. Again, the sander did a great job. The dust, after less than 1 minute total sanding time, however, is more than I'm prepared to deal with in future interior projects. This may be a great sander when you have the option to work outside but, for me, not with the time or takes to clean everything up afterward. Read more
