Works awesome, a little bit dusty inside. This sander is a life saver if you need to get into tight spots. This sander works for us, little heavy but great price. It's good quality, easy to use, and good price too. The hose does not perfectly fit, but that doesn't matter.

The BLACK+DECKER BDEMS600 was our preferred Palm Detail Sanders. That doesn't mean there aren't a few other fantastic alternatives when it comes down to Palm Detail Sanders. We have a breakdown of them here.

Genesis is another top maker of Detail Sanders. They produce the tool that is next on our lineup. Genesis's Detail Sanders are no exception. It was fantastic to check out the GPS080. I was very satisfied using this tool!

The Genesis GPS080 Detail Sander, at $17.80 is a particularly exceptional Detail Sander for the money. If you not sure about our top pick, I'd check out the Genesis GPS080 next. It's a high quality tool at a great price.

Apart from the selections we already covered, I would definitely check out the WEN 6301 and the MS2000 by BLACK+DECKER. Both WEN and BLACK+DECKER are considered some of the top makers of quality Detail Sanders. Both tools are highly rated as well. The 6301 boasts a rating of 4.3/5 when compared to 3.5/5 star rating given to the BLACK+DECKER MS2000.

The WEN 6301 comes with several features you might not find on competing Detail Sanders. For example Features a 3.75 x 5.5 inch pad with an angled tip for precision work. The BLACK+DECKER MS2000 however, is tough to beat offering Smart Select Technology allows users to choose application, snap on recommended base, and sander adjusts for optimal speed plus 4-in-1 sander provides maximum versatility for a wide range of sanding applications.

I wouldn't hesitate to suggest either of these Palm Detail Sanders

I realize it's called a palm sander but it feels awkward. This sander is a life saver if you need to get into tight spots. The best thing was it was super affordable. As a note, this was the first time I'd used this kind of sander. I had purchased a mouse sander locally and was very upset with it.

Sometimes I have to lightly tap it, and it will start right up. We have an arbor that needed to be sanded, primed and painted. Works great on old furniture I am trying to restore! I'll press the on button and nothing will happen. This BLACK+DECKER sander is very aggressive and extremely powerful.

Must buy proper sanding discs otherwise the vac holes do not match up. This sander is a life saver if you need to get into tight spots. The flush/finish base is very good as well. The size of the sandpaper is suitable for use. Bought it to help with some pieces of furniture I was refurbishing.

I realize it's called a palm sander but it feels awkward. Seems to be made for small tight spaces only. I have an orbital sander but I need this this one for small areas. Use a file if desired to smooth the edges on both surfaces. Even the ones recommended to purchase with it don't properly fit.

I realize it's called a palm sander but it feels awkward. Seems to be made for small tight spaces only. Will be giving GMC another look when I need some more tools. It's good quality, easy to use, and good price too. Doesn't say that in the description anywhere.

I draped the entry to do my front door and still had dust everywhere. I'm female with small hands and it's easy to grasp and hold. The flush/finish base is very good as well. I refurnished my front door, a 60yrs old door, like nothing! Doesn't say that in the description anywhere.

Must buy proper sanding discs otherwise the vac holes do not match up. The did a partial refund to make up the difference. Works great on old furniture I am trying to restore! It's more powerful and solid feeling than I'd expected. The hose does not perfectly fit, but that doesn't matter.
