Ratings & Reviews for BLACK+DECKER 2 -Amp Variable Speed Sheet Sander with Dust Management

My first sander!

Because of the pandemic I've spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos which have got me interested in repurposing old items. I bought an old entertainment center and have been turning it into a toy kitchen for my kids. I bought this sander so I could sand it down before painting it. I'm very new to all this and this is my first sander so I'm not even sure if I got the right type for the job I'm doing. However, it works great! I was able to sand everything down and repaint it with no problems....

Small but potent.

Produced as a finish sander, but with the right grit sand paper, it will do the big jobs too. I love mine.

Good little sander

I bought this sander for some small projects with my grandsons. I like the size cause it would be easy for them to use. We have used on several wood projects and they have no problem in using it because of its size. If you buy this sander you need to read the instructions about the sandpaper and dust bag. A template comes with it so you can cut sandpaper sheets to the correct size and location for the holes in the paper so the dust catcher will work properly. Love this good little sander. Would ...

Product good, but can't find ready made sheets!

I like the ease of using the product. The venting collects most of all the wood dust. I haven't been able to find ready made sheets, that are cut to size, vented, and in assorted sizes! My local store only sells huge packs of each individual grit, coarse, and medium. I want an assortment pack, without cutting my own. Kind of ridiculous to me.

Sander pad

Purchased in December 2020. Works great on projects. Unfortunately the sander pad wore away to the point where the screws were scratching wood. But B & D quickly replaced my unit with a brand new within days of me bringing the issue to their attention.

I bought this sander for a small kitchen project and it did the job. It was worth the money. I would recommend this product.

Why sale a sander that you don’t sell the sand pap

I bought this at Lowe’s about two weeks ago happy with the performance . Very disappointed and Lowe’s for selling a sander equipped with a bag for the dust but you don’t sell the sandpaper that has the holes in it to go with it that are square.

Good, But Aggravating

Great sanding capability but the on/off toggle switch gets accidentally turned OFF almost every time you pause for a second to check your work and then try to start sanding again. Continually turning back on with other hand.

Disappointed

There are holes in the machine to collect the dust but no paper for it to work properly. What was the purpose then?

good sander but 1/4 sheet sand paper not availble

Nice little sander but the dust bag does no good because once you have use the sample sandpaper sheets, you can no longer find the 1/4 sheets with holes for the dust bag to work. I do not recommended this sander for that reason. You would believe that is you sell a product that requires specific item to work as intended, then you as a company would provide it.

Small, but mighty

Altthough I have several hand sanders, this powerful lightweight sander was perfect for sanding overhead (ceiling). It didn’t vibrate and kickback like the other handheld sanders. I like that you push your palm down to stand and sanding instead of pushing a button.
