Thought I would give this 1/3rd sheet sander a try. This 3 amp sander is light but solid and powerful. Note, it does not fit central vac hoses. Save me money, do the job well and look good. Best of all, I am glad I came across the WEN line.

The fact is that the Makita BO3710 was the 1/3 Sheet Sanders that we graded most highly. However, there were a few other very premium 1/3 Sheet Sanders we wanted to showcase here that only just missed the mark.

WEN is another top maker of Sanders. They build the tool next on our list. WEN's Finishing Sanders are among their leading offerings. I was ready to try out the model 6313 and I was not disappointed!

This Finishing Sander is merely $23.50. That is an exceptional deal for a premium Sander like the 6313 by WEN. If you unsure about our top pick, I'd check out the WEN 6313 next. It's a premium quality tool at a terrific price.

Powerful 1.2 amp motor provides 12,000 OPM

Lightweight design weighs in at a mere three pounds

Aside from the selections we covered already, I would definitely evaluate the BLACK+DECKER 7448 A and the Chicago Pneumatic B006. Both these tool manufactures are regarded as some of the leading makers of high quality Sanders. Both tools are rated highly as well. The 7448 A advertises a score of 3.6/5 as compared to 5.0/5 star rating received by the Chicago Pneumatic B006.

The 7448 A by BLACK+DECKER has a couple of features you might not get on other similar Finishing Sanders. For example Large sander ideal for sanding large areas. The B006 by Chicago Pneumatic however, is tough to beat featuring Counterbalanced fan reduces vibration and user fatigue plus Forward grip for better control.

I would be eager to endorse either of these 1/3 Sheet Sanders

I've had no problem with the sandpaper staying put. I am sure it would be fine for the average man. It arrived on time and was packaged well. Sandpaper loading is very well designed. The suction fan on this sander does all of the work.

This is my husbands favorite sander of all times. It's paper clamping mechanisms have worked ok so far. I like that it fits perfectly in my small hand. I also liked the extra sandpaper that was included. That means fewer scratches and a smoother finish.
