BLACK+DECKER 2.0 Amp Electric 1/4 Sheet Orbit Sander (BDEQS300)

This Black & Decker sander came in very useful. I've had no problems loading paper from the Dollar tree to Sherwin-Williams. The dust collector works good and the Sanders grip leaves vibration minimal. I was surprised. I haven't bought Black & Decker before though I have some old pass me down drills that are Black and Decker that still work too. Anyways the sander was a good value for the money which was what I was looking for at the time. It quickly got through the edge of the spray paint that they painted over stickers that I needed to get off. The sander has plenty of power for it it got right to it. The design is ergonomically friendly and vibration friendly and the speed of the sander is good. I'm impressed I didn't expect it to be this good especially at the price point. I would recommend the sander to anybody and have to my sister who refinishes furniture & such.

That is a very small palm sized orbital sander. However, with that said it is very easy to use. It is a good electrical cord power tool that serves its purpose as a handy-dandy little palm sander. Take note: It is not very powerful. It does not have a lot of oomph or power to it to do heavy work, but it is good for light to medium jobs. Pros: The great thing about the Black and Decker 1/4 sheet orbital sander is that I can get any kind of square/rectangle sheet of sand paper, cut it into quarters (or size it to the sander pad), and then use it on this machine! It is great that I do not have to buy special sanding pads or papers for this machine. Any sanding paper will work as long as the user creates holes in the paper with the provided hole-puncher for the machine to collect the dust. The dust catcher is tiny but it works as long as you do not press down too hard. If you are putting too much pressure on the machine, the dust vacuum effect will suffer and dust will not be suctioned into the bag. It will seem that the bag does not work. However, if you do not press down hard enough it will not do major sanding. I have tried with 120 and 100 grit paper and only got slight sanding effects. It was more like coarse buffing. I have also used this without punching holes in the paper (so the suction did not work to catch the dust) but it sanded fine without any issues. Cons: The cord is not very long. So the user will have to work in small areas or with an extension cord. The picture is true and correct but I didn't realize how small it would be. It fits in the palm of your hand, and it is super light. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your needs. Light= Light Work. This is OK for small work. Sure, I am happy to have it but it was not exactly what I was expecting. I can certainly say that this is not for refinishing hardwood floor work. Yes, it can get into inconspicuous corners, but this tool is best for buffing or light sanding. I may find this to be useful for doors, molding, and trim work. Update: Summer 2016: It has been most useful to sand smooth rough cut saw wood planks and smoothing out repurposed pallet wood with the right grit sand paper. Conclusion: for the price it’s a good value for light quick tasks!

This sander is very easy to operate . It is quite Loyd so might want to order ear protection . It does the job . A bit cumbersome renewing sheets of grit but you get into a pattern and ability then it seems easier . The bag was very hard to maneuver into position . I don't see much dust being emptied . Hummm. It's a keeper. Beats hand sanding which I tried .

The Black & Decker 2.0 Amp Electric Sander is a fantastic tool for both DIY projects and more detailed sanding work. The 2.0 amp motor provides plenty of power, making it easy to smooth out rough surfaces quickly. I’ve used it on wood, and even painted surfaces, and it performs consistently well every time. The sander is lightweight and easy to handle, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. I also appreciate the dust collection feature, which keeps my workspace cleaner than expected. Overall, it’s a reliable and efficient tool that’s perfect for both beginners and experienced DIYers. Highly recommended!

nice product

I have been using Makita palm sanders since I started working on boats over 30 years ago. I lost the dust bag when it shot off the sander, which happens occasionally. Since I work in Marinas in California I need to have a dust bag or risk the loss of my vendor status. I read reviews of the new Makitas and was not impressed. I searched a bunch of the high-end sanders and found nothing rated very high. I saw the Black and Decker in the Suggested section and thought, "why not look?" I liked the look of the B&D and the dust bag had a mechanism that locked on, rather that just push on. The price was low so I figured I wouldn't by out much if it didn't last. When it arrived and I first turned it on, I loved that there was an on/off switch but it didn't actually turn the sander on. It only comes on when the ON switch is turned and I press down on a pad at the top of the sander. It's genius! When I stop pressing down, the sander turns off. It makes so much more sense that my old sanders. I like that there is a "punch tray" to make the holes in the sandpaper to allow the sand to enter into the bag. I used to use a Phillips head screwdriver to make the holes. I have only been using this little guy for a few weeks so I can't judge the durability, but so far, I love it!

Worked great and I caught it when it was on sale!

Of many orbital and palm sanders that i've used for over a decade this one is the most powerful. Its design, activated through palm pressure is the most convenient i've used also. If anything its so powerful, I wish there was a low power setting for subtle jobs; and it is also loud, which is understandable. Amazing tool at an amazing value, I highly recommend.

Poderosa herramienta, un poco ruidosa y puede ser difícil de controlar con una mano, pero hace el trabajo excelentemente. Siempre perforen las lijas antes de usarlas para que pueda aspirar el polvo y las hojas duren más, las hojas muy delgadas o de grano muy fino tienden a salirse fácilmente de los agarres, para evitarlo pueden poner cinta de ducto o de enmascarar en los extremos para que los agarres ejerzan más presión y las lijas se mantengan en su lugar, así también alrgan la vida y efectividad de las lijas pues usualmente al safarse de los agarres se rompen por la potencia de la herramienta Tal vez el único problema qué tiene es que el filtro es muy pequeño y al llenarse poco más de la mitad comienza a sentirse ligera pérdida de potencia y aumenta el calentamiento por el trabajo extra del aspirador, pero si se conecta a una aspiradora domestica esto se elimina, tomen en cuenta que si la aspiradora no es ciclónica o de las que aspiran agua, deben ponerle un separador ciclónico para que la bolsa no se llene con astillas de madera que podrían dañar la bolsa o el equipo. Aunque el modelo no se comercializa en México, cuando necesité cambiar el colchón encontré fácilmente la refacción pues es compatible con DeWalt.

Acheté depuis quelques années. Beaucoup utilisé et fonctionne encore très bien. Très pratique.

Perfect for the job ,easy to use ,so happy with my sander

Es un producto bien construido, con materiales que, a primera vista, son de alta calidad; es una herramienta práctica y de precio bastante accesible. Muy recomendable para usar en acabados y remover barnices o pintura, o en restauraciones. Lo recomiendo enormemente para trabajos tanto amateurs como profesionales, ya sean de carpintería o hasta alfarería. La inclusión de un extractor de polvo ayuda mucho también en mantener limpio el lugar de trabajo y evitar que se tapen las ventilas para circulación de aire del motor. Adicional, recomiendo usar lijas con recubrimiento antiempastante como el estearato de zinc, ya que evita el tapado prematuro de la lija y prolonga la utilidad del grano abrasivo - el cual puede ser preferentemente óxido de aluminio de alta calidad o "seeded gel" - lo cual también disminuye la cantidad de lijas necesarias; esto especialmente en la remoción de lacas o barnices u otros polímeros selladores de la superficie.

Muy buena herramienta casera
