BLACK+DECKER Detail Sander, 1.2 Amp, 16,000 OPM, Compact Design, 3-Position Grip for Comfort, Includes Dust Collector, Corded (BDEMS600)

I like this mouse to get done if the tight spaces. Good value and does a good job. Easy to change the sanding papers and it’s easy to grip. My hands are kind of small but it was fine for me. Not too heavy. One without a cord is probably nicer to use but mine has a cord and it’s fine.

Excellent sander. I have used the heck out of this and its still going strong!

This is my third B&D “mouse” sander, they all were easy to hold, aim and control, and do the jobs I need really well. When you refinish doors, moldings, etc you want a larger sander to cover a lot of area, but for a slightly uneven deck with boards convexed or concaved you need a sander that can follow the contour of the wood and the mouse does that really well. Yes there are more expensive detail sanders out there, but the B&D ones give the best product for the buck. The grip is soft foam and when used with cloth work gloves sufficiently dampens vibration that my carpal tunnels don’t bother me. Using 60-120 grit paper and light pressure, I only need to go over a spot 5-10 x to reach bare wood thru 4 costs of Olympic semi transparent stain. Now a mouse only lasts me about 5 years for about 3-500 hours of sanding, but a heavy metal competitors sander would never allow me to hold it up over my head to do railing spindles and arbors because they are too heavy yo keep working hour after hour. When they finally fail, I assume the brushes wear out, because you need to shake the unit you try to start it and in some orientations it will not start. In older units the long finger attachment was flush to the rest of the sanding bed, but on the newest one the finger is raised perhaps 3/16” higher, this is a bad thing from my standpoint because you need to be taking the finger on and off to complete a job. The Velcro sanding pads hold the paper well and make for a. Quick, no tools style of change. I find the new units slide switch difficult to turn on and off with dusty gloves on, the older style push button/rocker switches were easier to use but we’re located in a poor place at the extreme front of the housing where it was likely to get bumped when you tried to sand railing spindles. The newer location on the handle is better for resisting accidental shot offs. If there were one improvement I’d like to see in the next design, it would be a sander that is flatter to the sandpaper so I can reach farther between railing spokes and in tight spaces without being constrained by the handle.

Works great. Not industrial but for home is great

I was looking for a sander that was light but powerful and accurate. Finished sanding a table and Chair too in one secession. This Black and Decker sander fit perfectly. Easy to use especially with the dust collection part Good price tbh 😍💪🏻

Broke the second time I used it. The bottom plate came loose. I am returning. Disappointed as it was very light and easy to use.

The sander is pretty good but the container is rather redundant.. maybe I am just taking on a large project but it doesn't seem necessary to spend a bit more for the chamber on the back. If anything it's a bit of a chore to unfill it when most of the dust falls on the floor anyway. The pads that come with it are fairly useful for finer sanding but you will need to buy more off that bat if you are taking on a larger project. They also seem to fall off the Velcro quite easily after about 30- 40 minutes of use. Velcro pad is quite fragile so be careful how much pressure you apply and try to avoid using surrounding edges. Overall it gets the job done but I dont see it lasting more than 20 projects. You will probably spend less money in the long run picking one up from Lowe's, home Depot, or Menards. Hope this helps!

La lijadora es MUY práctica para algunas mejoras en el hogar sin ser experto. Fácil de usar y cargar, hace algo de ruido fuerte, que si no estás acostumbrado, lastima un poco. Muy práctica, inclusive con mano pequeñas (no niños)

Looks just the job unfortunately supplied with the wrong plug for the UK. Universal mart have been terrific arranging the return of this item would definitely buy from them again

It blew in my face the moment I connected it for the first time!

In Saudi Arabia we use 220v outlet only

Good little machine for at home projects.
