Furniture re-finisher

Would Recommend

Honestly haven't tried this out yet but based on reviews I think it will meet my needs for small furniture refinishing tasks. Order and pickup very smooth.

Third Mouse

Would Recommend

Third Mouse I have owned. Started with MS500. All three still work great. Latest model has improved dust collector that is easier to remove and clean out. Hardworking tool, easy to use, worth the investment.

Black & Decker Detail Sander

Would Not Recommend

Only had this sander a couple of weeks. Use it for the tight corners on projects. The sandpaper does not want to stay on the sander & comes off when sanding! It is useless! Taking it back!

Canadian buyers beware

Would Not Recommend

Comes with warrantee and money back gaurantee but impossible to get any service from Canada. The service centres just bump you around from place to place. Sander itself is average at best.

high hopes

Would Not Recommend

Bought this unit to do some tight spot light detail sanding. Used for 2 hrs; screw that holds nose pc on came loose and tore out, destroying mounting hole. annoying, but cheaply made. Not all that surprising; still, disappointing.

Efficient

Would Recommend

My husband had bought this tool after watching me have a hard time using a square sander. He handles any sander without issue but I can't sand for very long because the vibration makes my hands go numb. This little gem doesn't shake my hands at all. The grip on the sander pad is amazing, I had even ripped old pads while pulling them off. It's great getting into small areas close to the floor. I'm so impressed with this tool and how efficient it is. This is a tool that you can definitely get the ...

Meh.

Would Not Recommend

I’ve only had this for 2 days and it’s falling apart. The detail finger attachment broke off after less than 15 minutes of use. The rubber pad for the sanding sheet started to show wear after the first day of use. In my opinion the dust collection plate is flimsy and doesn’t do much. I am disappointed in the quality of this tool for the price I paid. Will be returning.

Not Reliable

Would Not Recommend

In the course of a week I have tried 2 of these sanders and both have broke. The first one I purchased within 15 minutes of using it the first time the tip of the point started tearing apart to where the sand paper wasnt flat and it wouldnt work. I returned it and tried another one and this time the regular pointed part worked great but when I tries to use the attachment piece it came lose after about 3-5 minutes and completely broke off. Returned it to Lowes also and was going to try one more t...

poor quality

Would Not Recommend

I have bought 2 of these things in the last 3 days and i’m currently on my way to the store to get a third. the only reason i’m getting a third is because it’s the only one i could find that isn’t round. it just falls apart. would not recommend.

preforms as expected

I replaced an older Craftsman mouse sander, this works equally as well, if not better. I'm very happy with this purchase

Lightweight and easy to use

Would Recommend

I liked the vacuum feature. It substantially cuts down on the dust. This is a light duty sander. I liked it for what it was designed for but I needed a heavier duty sander.
