18-Volt OCTANE Cordless Brushless 3-Speed 1/4 Sheet Sander

Ridgid’s battery powered products are among the best, and this tool does as well. Perhaps a little loud, but powerful, reliable, easy to grip, light, easy to use

So my wife wanted to redo the bathroom on the main floor. I said whatever. She said she would paint it because she painted her parents bathroom once and was a “pro”. I was skeptical but let it slide. Long story short she painted half the bathroom with industrial grade primer that i can only imagine being used on the hull of world war 2 battleships before i walked in to check the progress and had what I'm guessing was a miniature stroke. Anyways i bought this sander to erase her “misjudgment in paint”, it worked pretty well and Im glad i have it for future projects. Great little sander good power.

I have not used it yet, but I ran it ,it runs good and can use and Ridgid battery.The only thing is because it was no purchased from Home Depot, it will only carry a three year warranty and not a life time.

Fácil de usar

Finally, a battery-operated tool that makes sense and is needed! When sanding my home's exterior, not having to deal with power cords made it such a wonderful experience. This sander has almost the same power as my corded model, and the new clamp for the sandpaper made using it a pleasure. I bought mine as a "Bare Tool" since I already had Ridgid batteries, but my 2.0 mah batteries gave up too quickly. I bought 2-4.0 mah batteries and they kick a**. I highly recommend this tool if you have lots of sanding to do. I use mine wearing my Beats headphones to alleviate boredom.

Good quality and very handy.

Works great, a tad heavy on vertical walls, and remember it starts in high speed.

Nice to hook up with a shop vac while using.

Turn off by itself randomly in the middle of sanding, regardless of load. I tried three different charged batteries with no change. Poor quality. I'm going to stick with DeWalt.
