Our take on the Milwaukee 2648-20 M18 Random Orbit Sander

The Milwaukee 2648-20 is a cordless 5-inch random orbit sander that runs on the M18 battery system. It spins at 7,000 to 12,000 orbits per minute with a variable speed dial and a 3/32-inch orbit, and Milwaukee claims it removes more material per charge than typical cordless rivals. Run time is about 35 minutes on a 3.0Ah pack, so it suits trim carpenters and remodelers already on M18 who want sanding without a cord. Corded sanders run all day and cost less, but this one shares batteries with 150+ M18 tools.
