Is the DTS 400 REQ-Plus worth it over a cheaper detail sander?

If you sand corners and profiles regularly and already run a dust extractor, the finish quality and extraction justify the price. For occasional DIY jobs a budget detail sander does the same basic task for far less.

Does it replace the older DTS 400?

Yes. The REQ version is the current model in that line, with the same delta format and 2 mm stroke. It is the one to buy new; older stock is only worth it at a clear discount.

Do I need a dust extractor to use it?

No, it runs without one, but dust collection is the main reason to buy it. The 27 mm port fits Festool extractors directly; other brands need an adapter.

What comes in the Plus set?

The Plus package is the sander with a systainer case and a starter set of abrasives. Check the listing for the exact abrasive grits included.

Can it sand into inside corners?

Yes. The triangular pad reaches into inside corners and along edges that a round random-orbit sander cannot touch.

Festool prices are fairly fixed, so the best savings come from retailer bundles with abrasives or a systainer rather than deep discounts. Compare the current price with its recent range before buying.

Our take on the Festool Finish Delta Sander DTS 400 REQ-Plus

The Festool DTS 400 REQ-Plus is a corded finish delta sander for detail work, corners and edges that a round pad can't reach. It runs at 6,000 to 12,000 RPM with a 2 mm sanding stroke and connects to a 27 mm dust hose for near-dustless sanding. It weighs about 3.3 kg with accessories, so it is a benchtop and site tool rather than a one-hand tool. It is a premium-priced specialist, so check the current price against its recent range before buying.
