This is one of the best Sanders I’ve owned. Love how it collects the fine Saw Dust. Mix it with some wood glue for DIY Wood Filler.

My primary concern was batter life and I have to admit that this was not a problem at all. Using 2 year old batteries – I was able to sand around an hour per charge. I’m sure there still are many reasons to get a corded sander but I didn’t need any more torque/orbitat movement or length of project time. The dust guard worked as expected. This product excels when sanding vertical surfaces or at angles that put the operator at odd ergonomic angles. It’s why I went cordless. I’ve been using this product for about a month on 1-2 hour projects 3 times a week with batteries that were purchased with my Ridgid drills.

This sander is just what I needed for sanding drywall joints. Works fast and when hooked to a shop vac there’s virtually no dust. The battery life in a 2ah was enough to finish about 8 ft of joints and screw holes. I thought the weight of the tool w a 4ah battery may be excessive but it’s been a one handed job for the most part. The noise is definitely enough to require hearing protection when using with shop vac so be prepared.

Battery life is a little short but thatsore the fault of how hard I was using it than anything. To be completely honest it works exactly as intended.

Works fine,but the lifetime warranty is what attracted me.It takes awhile to register it for the warranty but don’t give up.Have a complete set of cordless ridgid tools and you will be using that warranty often and jumping through hoops to get Ridgid to honor the warranty.Highly recommend all their cordless tools if you are patient and keep good records of your purchases.

Love….love….love it!

This has been the most used, most trusted, most valued tool in my workshop for the last several years. I never realized how much I count on this tool until it burned out and I had to replace it. Now that I have this cordless version, I will have it with me everywhere in the shop. With the right grit of paper loaded it will do every job from roughing a board to super fine sanding between several layers of finish. Best tool I own.
