Ratings & Reviews for Metabo HPT 2.8 -Amp Variable Speed Orbital Sander with Dust Management

Metabo random orbit Sander

Nice sander. Easy to adjust speeds. My only issue is the rubber adapter for attaching a vacuum hose is not quite long enough and sometimes comes off.

Nice Sander

I like the weight and the way it feels in your hand. It doesn't seem to walk all over the place when using. I have not had a chance to use it much since I got it, but for what I have used it for it has worked great. It looks to be on par with the other Metabo HPT tools that I have and love. Truly look forward to using this tool more. It will be my go to sander. I have a Bosch and DeWalt of the same size and I this one edges them out as my favorite.

Horrible dust system.

I love Motobo tools and it’s pretty much all I have for cordless tools. This sander does a great job of sanding but the dust collection attachment is HORRIBLE. It will not stay attached to the sander whether using the bag or my shops dust collection system. Motobo either needs to re-design the attachment point or create a clip to hold it on.

Fantastic

Worked better than expected. We had 16 2x8x12 rough cut cedar to sand. zit did amazingly.

Great sander

I love this little guy, it has never let me down. Plenty of power and the extra long cord is a game changer. It will easily adjust to a vacuum and does a good job dust collecting on its own. I tried the competition and I'm sticking with Metabo.

Great performance and price.

Great performance at a more then reasonable price. Best value variable speed sander.

Great sander. If you have problems with the vacuum clip coming undone, use a zip tie!

Nice random orbit sander

The sander works very well , the variable speed is great to have. The value is great.

At $50, this sander is a no-brainer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having used this sander on several projects now, I can safely say that there's little reason to look at something else if the following is true for you: 1. You have reasonable expectations about ergonomics -- things like grip shape, weight, etc. 2. You have at least a decent shop vac and something like a DustRight hose attachment for dust collection. 3. You're after a reliable, no frills, variable speed random orbit sander that provides a ...

Ease of use, light weight and quick and efficient.

I bought this several weeks ago for a new project made of recycled materials and was able to make them look good again in a very short time period.

Very ergonomic, does a great job.

Have done a few projects with this from decks to ship lap and fireplace mantles, it’s been great and the dust bag does a great job as well

Great Orbital Sander with extra-long cord.

Sander works well and removes most sanding dust using bag. For maximum dust removal can be use with shop-vac., the long cord that the sander has is a real plus. A quality unit that should last years.

great sander

Great little sander, dust bag works well, the only issue is that the power switch is a little awkward to push, as it's recessed, so it's well protected
