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.

As with all my RIDGID OCTANE Tools , this 1/4 sheet sander works extremely well, the dust collector is as good as my corded sander, I love the quick change system for the 1/4 sheets of paper- it allows me less time to switch from rough grits to finer in 1/2 the time- Another “Home Run” for RIDGID

On -Off button is located in an awkward spot. Keep turning it off by accident.

I have almost the entire RIDGID set. I have started buying the drills and saw as gifts for friends. The batteries last, the tools have great power and the batteries are frequently interchangeable. Love RIDGID!

I love the Bluetooth, I’m always putting my tools somewhere I can’t find, the best move ever for me!

Ridgid’s new Octane Brushless 1/4″ sheet sander is a great addition to their growing tool line. It has the aggressiveness of a random orbit sander, but the finesse of a well balanced palm sander for detail work with no swirl marks. Of all cordless sanders I’ve ever tried, this is my favorite so far. For the price point, useful features and convenience, I highly recommend it!

Worked well with extended power. Used on a sawzall and I’ve yet to use all the power.

Enjoy using this product. Only negative is can not register tool on LG phone. Ridgid was not helpful and rude in my attempt to register by phone. Poor customer service. Don’t own a computer cannot register for service of Ridgid tools, poor customer service.(During the Corona virus.) When told they could register my tool through the store I ordered my sander. I explained living 100 miles from that store it was not possible to do it over the phone. The customer service supervisor was rude and unhelpful.

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.

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

This battery is freaking awesome, the Bluetooth technology is great. I can feel the difference in torque in the octane vs the standard battery I have b batteries and I only use the 3,5,9 AH batteries.

Used the saw to see how long the battery would last. Finished the work before the battery ran down. Not sure how long it will run. Very satisfied with performance. I used the Torch blades, which cuts really great.Grate product. Max
