Great durable machine with power and variable speed. I wish I had bought one long before now. Bought this item to replace a knock-off orbital sander. Wonder if I could buff the mailbox with it. Go Bosch for making another great product!

The BLACK+DECKER BDERO100 was definitely our number one Palm Sanders. That being said, there were a range of other very premium quality Palm Sanders we wanted to showcase here that barely missed first place.

The next in our tool break down is built by Bosch known to be a very respectable tool brand. Bosch's Random Orbital Sanders are also top quality. It was terrific to try the ROS20VSC. I was very pleased with this tool!

This Random Orbital Sander is only $69.00. That is a fantastic deal for a top quality Sander like the ROS20VSC by Bosch. The Bosch ROS20VSC is definitely a sound option. Of you are not sure about our top selection, I'd suggest you select this Sander.

Bosch ROS20VSC Features

SMOOTH FINISH: Pad dampening system designed to eliminate swirl marks on both flat and contoured surfaces

EASY DISC ATTACHMENT: Through Bosch's signature Hook and Loop disc attachment system, sanding pads stick to the hand sander, acting like a Velcro adhesion material

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL: Powerful 2. 5 AMP motor allows speed to work piece and task matching with ease

DUST COLLECTION: Features a micro filter system for fine dust and trapping particles as small as a 1/2 micron in diameter. Durable and compact, the dust canister shows dust level and easily detaches for mess free tasks

KIT CONTENTS: Includes sanding pad, sanding disc, dampening ring, dust canister, vacuum adapter and carrying case

Aside from the option we reviewed already, I would evaluate the BDEMS600 by BLACK+DECKER and the Makita BO5041K. Both these tool manufactures are thought to be some of the premier manufacturers of high quality Sanders. both of these unique options received fantastic user reviews as well. The BLACK+DECKER advertises a rating of 4.1/5 when contrasted against the 4.7/5 star rating received by the Makita BO5041K.

The BDEMS600 by BLACK+DECKER gives some really choice features such as Compact size. The Makita BO5041K by comparison, is very competitive with Smooth and fast sanding with 3.0 AMP motor and even Variable speed control dial (4,000-12,000 OPM) enables user to match the sanding speed to the application.

I can easily endorse either of these Palm Sanders

It will sand right down into the corners. Works well and is easy to use, decent price. Of course, integrated nicely with the dust extractor. It's more powerful and solid feeling than I'd expected. Even the ones recommended to purchase with it don't properly fit.

Spend the money and buy it - you will not regret it. Wow this bad boy eats bondo This is an exellent 8 inch da. That helps to minimize the muscle tiredness factor. I run my HF sander a few minutes and it gets hot. Vibration is very low so user fatigue will not be a issue.

Honorable Mentions

If the Palm Sanders mentioned above fail to cut it, here are a few additional selections that might offer a more suitable fit. There really are a number of great tools out there to buy. The Sanders we evaluated above are our favorites. That doesn't mean there aren't several additional fantastic Palm Sanders.

I just wore out my second TACKLIFE sander and bought a third. The included carry case is very robust too. Well made and can go for as long as you need. Wow, once the tool gets in it's rhythm it really sings. It has made my polishing cars so much more enjoyable.

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.

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.

I've had my US built Makita for 20 years. Like it says in the instruction manual - don't push down. Works as it should Works will in my shop. For the money I've never used a better sander. Not much, if they work as well as this little champ.

The larger buffers are good for boats and trucks. The price is right and the tool works great. If dust bothers you, wear a filter mask. I really don't know why it sands so poorly. I did make some low spots on the table with that sander.
