- Is a brushless random orbital sander worth it over a brushed one?
- Brushless motors run cooler and typically last longer, and they hold speed better under load. If you sand often, the extra cost is usually worth it. For occasional weekend use, a brushed sander is cheaper and fine.
- Does it come with sandpaper?
- Yes. The listing includes a 20-piece sandpaper set, so you can start sanding right away. Check which grits are included before buying if you need specific grits for finishing.
- Can I use it on drywall or only on wood?
- Random orbital sanders are made for wood, paint and filler on flat surfaces. On drywall, use light pressure and a fine grit to avoid gouging the paper face.
- Does it need a battery?
- No. It is a corded electric tool, so it plugs into a wall outlet. There is no battery or charger to buy.
- When is the best time to buy it?
- Tool prices tend to dip during holiday sales and spring home-improvement events. Set a price alert and compare against the recent range before buying.
