- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- It is typically sold as a bare tool, so batteries and a charger are separate unless a kit is listed. Check the box contents before buying if you are not already on the 20V MAX platform.
- What size sanding pads does it use?
- It takes standard 5-inch hook-and-loop sanding discs. Any brand of 5-inch 8-hole paper fits.
- Can I connect a shop vacuum?
- Yes. It has a dust port for a vacuum hose, which gives much better dust control than the included bag.
- How long does it run on a battery?
- Runtime depends on the pack and the load. A 2.0Ah pack gives short sessions; a 5.0Ah or larger pack runs considerably longer.
- Is it good for drywall?
- It can sand drywall joints, but the dust load is heavy. Use a vacuum and a coarse disc, and expect faster battery drain.
- How does it compare with a corded sander?
- It trades endless corded power for freedom from outlets. Corded models run continuously and usually cost less; this one wins on portability.
- Where is the Dewalt 20V MAX XR Cordless Brushless Orbital Sander cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $337.89, as of our latest check.
