- Is this sander powerful enough for stripping paint or heavy sanding?
- No. It is a light-duty 12-volt tool. It handles finish sanding and spot repairs, but it stalls on heavy stock removal. Use a corded sander for big stripping jobs.
- What comes in the kit?
- The kit includes the sander, 2.5 Ah M12 batteries and a charger. Check the listing for the exact battery count and whether a dust bag or hose adapter is included.
- Does it use the same batteries as other Milwaukee M12 tools?
- Yes. It runs on the M12 battery platform, so it shares packs with M12 drills, drivers and other M12 tools.
- How does it compare with a corded random orbital sander?
- It is smaller and cordless but less powerful, with a smaller pad and shorter runtime. A corded 5-inch sander removes material faster and runs all day.
- Can it be connected to a shop vacuum?
- It has a dust port for a hose, and owners report good dust capture with a vac attached. Confirm the port size matches your hose or adapter.
- Where is the Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12-Volt Li-Ion Brushless Cordless Sander Kit cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $579.00, as of our latest check.
