It won’t do you much good when you’re framing out a wall, but a good power sander is a very handy tool. Especially when you’re making something someone might touch, like furniture or shelving, or something that you want to look as neat as possible, like trim or cabinetry. Right now, Amazon has a cordless sander from a trusted tool brand on sale with a big discount.
The DeWalt 20V Max XR Cordless 1/4-Sheet Sander is on sale for $114 at Amazon, 37% off its $179 list price. That includes both an automatic discount and a clippable coupon on the Amazon page that takes another $15 off the price. This deal is good on the bare tool only, but it is compatible with the DeWalt batteries you already own.
This particular model is what’s called a 1/4-sheet sander, one that’s compact and uses a square pad, making it great for fine work and use in tight spaces. It has a low profile that allows the user to get close to the surface for precise sanding and a texturized rubber overmold grip that’s comfortable and easy to control. The brushless motor is efficient and powerful enough to put out between 8,000 and 14,000 orbits per minute. The switch is dust-sealed and there’s a removable dust chute to keep workshop mess to a minimum.

“DeWalt makes superior tools for every job and this bagged sander is no exception,” one shopper wrote. It “did a great job” sanding kitchen cabinets for painting, and left “only a super fine layer of dust, easily wiped off.” It was also “easy to get into tight places so minimal hand sanding was required on ornate mouldings.”
Another customer wrote that this tool is “small, convenient, and does the job,” a “great sander” that’s performed well on multiple large projects.
