Worx WX822L
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Worx WX822L.9 is a lightweight, cordless detail sander with a unique triangular base and variable speed control, ideal for precision work in confined spaces. Its main limitation is the small sanding surface and the need to buy batteries separately. It is best suited for furniture refinishers and existing Worx ecosystem users needing precision corner and edge work.
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.
