Workpro Detail Sander
Score: 72/100
Ryobi Corner Cat
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Ryobi 18V Corner Cat Finish Sander is a cordless tool with a compact triangular base designed for accessing corners and tight spaces during light finishing tasks. Its modest power and battery dependency make it unsuitable for heavy stock removal or extended professional use. It is ideal for DIYers and hobbyists with Ryobi ONE+ batteries needing a lightweight sander for finish sanding corners and edges.
The WORKPRO W125171 is a compact, corded detail sander designed for precision work in tight spaces, featuring a high-speed motor and included accessories. Its main trade-off is the lack of cordless freedom and variable speed control. It is best suited for DIY users who need a versatile, mess-controlled tool for small woodworking projects.
