It does just what I bought it for, great tool.

This is a great all around tool. The three speeds are a must with a battery operated tool. With a battery operated sander it weighs a little more then I’am use to but the mobility of this tool is a plus.

I absolutely love rigid I have been using everything rigid now for past 4 years I have almost all the rigid tools x2 for my home and work best tools I’ve ever owned

Great little sander, I have not used a 1/4 sheet sander since 5 inch orbital sanders first came out. But I bought it because sanding cabinet door corners are impossible with a round sander. I love the variable speed, the clamps to hold down the paper are so much easier to use then in the past and the sander itself has very little vibration. The dust collector works great and obviously its cordless.Great Addition to My Line Up

I don’t like the size of the grip or the on off / energy level switch…… other than that it’s great you can’t beat the warranty lifetime!

I’m an admitted Ridgid tool fan.. But I debated on weather this sander was worth the costs since it’s a good bit higher in price over a corded model. Currently on sale for about $70 US. But I had a lot of sheet sanding paper I recently picked up so thought might as well give it a try since the wife wanted me to sand down a item so she can refinish it. Put the 80 grit that it came with on it and a 3 AH octane battery and went to town removing a old finish and stain job. This along with the belt sander make a pretty quick job at removing the old finish. Now just remain with the areas that have to be hand sanded due to curves on the wood. Was impressed with the sander. Dust collection was outstanding as I emptied the bag full of dust in the trash instead of having to blow it all off my me and the project.

This sheet sander was definitely made better than the rest. If you’re looking for quality that will uphold through years of punishment you should definitely go with this gem. Absolutely love my decision on this purchase, never getting Dewalt again!

Works well. No cord is awesome, I have many Ridgid tools and 6 batteries of various sizes the small battery last 45 min. – 1 hr. Good addition to my collection.

I used sander with standard 4 ah battery. The sander jumps around and is hard to control. I have an older plug in Makita 1/4 sheet sander and it much easier to control.

i haven’t used it but one time so i can really report on it.
Neil Daugherty (verified owner) –
Basically I love the sander. I agree, that the ergonomics of the on / off, and speed control are a bit awkward. Biggest problem for me however is that within the 1st 10 minutes of use, the dust collector fell off. I continued to use it and it happened two more time. Choice was to return it or kludge a fix. I chose the latter, by putting a piece of cloth around the neck so as to tighten the connection.

This is the perfect sander to have on the workbench or to take with you to the jobsite. I am a cabinet maker professional and have had many other tradesman ask to try it out when I’m out in the field. I didn’t think that I ever use the low setting on the variable speed adjustment, but I actually use it more often than that high speed. The low speed is perfect for evening out wood filler and knocking of sharp corners on softwood such as Poplar or Pine. My painter liked the low speed and used it after he applied the prime coat on cabinets to get that smooth finish with little vibration. The low speed really extends the battery life as well. I’ve also noticed that my hand doesn’t go numb when using this sander. In the past, when I used corded models with only one speed my hand would go numb from the excessive vibration and prolonged use. This sander is so well balanced and easy to control that my hand and arm never went numb nor did I have to switch hands like I did in the past with other sanders. I’ve been using this sander for about 3 weeks now and it has really helped increase my production with a quality finish. Another great product from Rigid that I’ve added to my changeover from Dewalt to the Rigid tool line in my shop.

I bought this to replace my corded, and really like the multi speeds (allows my 10 yr old grandson to more easily handle the task at lower speeds) sands well, quiet.

Excellent tool.

Great sander. Comfortable and easy to use-
Carrie Kerluke (verified owner) –
Nice 1/4 Sheet sanded. The three speeds are very helpful. The dust collector works well. I purchased the sander because it runs on a 18 volt battery….great decision.

I bought this sander to replace an old Dewalt corded sander. It is a bit heavy to use compared to a corded model but the freedom of cordless is well worth it. Keep a couple of charged batteries on hand because it will go through batteries quickly. Ridgid’s lifetime service agreement is a plus!
