Score: 76/100Rankings
The SKIL SR250801 is a corded 1.2-amp multi-function detail sander designed for precise sanding on flat surfaces, corners, edges, and contours. It features a high-speed 13,500 OPM motor, a 4-in-1 tool-free attachment system, and dual dust collection capabilities via a micro-filtration canister or vacuum port. While praised for its versatility and power, the lack of wet sanding capability and potential for vibration during extended use are key limitations.
The BLACK+DECKER BDCMS20B is a cordless 20V MAX* bare-tool mouse detail sander designed for sanding in tight corners and small spaces. It features a compact ergonomic design with an interchangeable detail finger attachment, variable speed up to 12,000 RPM, and a hook-and-loop sandpaper system for easy changes. While it offers excellent portability and control, the requirement to buy batteries separately and the lower speed compared to corded models are significant considerations.
