Thanks for recommending this sander, I bought it few months ago and I am very very satisfied.

This new model is part of DeWalt's "Perform & Protect" line, and as such is designed with features to protect the user from vibration from the unit and from the dust produced when sanding. The motor includes a counterbalance which reduces vibration as noted by Dan, it's a lot smoother in operation than the previous DeWalt model, and there is a rubber boot, or skirt, between the sander body and the orbiting base the sanding discs attach to, which helps to reduce airborne dust.... If used with a shopvac instead of just the collection bag, there is very little dust left behind. Nice review guys (Sorry about the iPad Dan) Keep up the great work TIA !

Well, if it's good enough for Chevy Chase! No serious, nice review . . . thanks!

I have it, and love it, works great!

got one the other day and I love it!🍻

Was hoping for a more indept review. Why is it important that there is a variable speed? Does it makes a difference? What would you sand at 8000 opm vs sanding at 12000. Looking to purchase one for $100 vs the 2.5amps black and decker where as this one is 3amps. Does the .5 amps makes a difference? My application is to do the deck for my wife then use it to sand down my car for repaint with a 600 and or wet sand with a 2000/3000 on my other beater for practice.

I did a lot of research and bought this. One guy did a comparison and had trouble attaching the dust bag.? A two year old could do it! This is an awesome sander! Thanks guys.

I agree, love my DeWalt RO Sanders, I also have the older model, but ordering this one.

Like it...I own the older version of this sander and I spoiled myself last year and bought a Festool ETS125EQ and it is the best sander I've used for finish work...the IPad falling was a painful thing to witness Dan I hope there was no other damage other than the dented corner, but that's bad enough...😕

Which one has less vibration, 18v ridgid or this dewalt?

I really like the new sander, after hearing you guys talk about the old model sander I really wanted to get it. This new one I'll have to get for sure!

Great sander I've had a dewalt sander for 10 years granite I don't use it daily but she's still holding up strong...

most of my sanding projects would require a cord when i sand for and hour or two straight cordless just won't cut it.

I've seen lots of these at different construction sites and in lots of shops. They are long lasting.

I still have my sander from the early 90s. It's one of those tools that I've always promised to upgrade, but never had. And it's one of the few tools that I'll still believe isn't completely necessary to be cordless.That Dewalt sander is nice though, especially for two pounds.

I love the dewalt sander. I have the older version and my only gripe is that dewalts vacuum doesn't lock on it. Looks like they redesigned it to lock on it better.

When and how should you use the variable control?

The guys on the forum like this guy too Eric. Looks like a well thought out sander. Curious what tech they used for the anti vibration. I've got the Bosch RO65VCL and that thing is right up there with my two Festool sanders. I wouldn't mind having another sander, God knows like routers, sanders you can never have enough of!

Silly question, can you polish car headlights with this. Thaks

I just picked this up and it rocks! Great review Griswald & Muffin Top... lol TIA #1

I have the old one and it looks like it has some good modifications to the old one

Great video. Thanks for the added theatrics of the falling iPad. Still not sure how you did that.

You guys have to try the Porter Cable 390K sander. 3.5amp so its one od the most powerful, variable speed, and the low profile design feels better and really gives you better control

Very cool sander. I like the Bosch one I have but that is a tempting replacement to be sure.

this kind of sanders with a bag sucks all the dust? or there is still dust fly over the place? cause I want to sand in my house something

Finally! Iv'e been waiting for this video for a long time. I have the old model of this. I love it!! Is it worth the upgrade?

What's better the corded or cordless sander?

You say this sander is your favorit alongside Bosch. What bosch are you thinking of? This Dewalt is an inexpsensive one as I can see. I have been looking at the Bosch GEX 125-150 because I need one with great dusthandeling and low vibration. How would you compare this two against each other? Is Bosch worth the premium price?

Can you please tell me what years this corded sander was released??

Was thinking about this sander and I think you guys convinced me. I need to redo some of the paint on my truck so I'm going to sand down to primer and rattle-can it

Great looking sander, good review. I saw the iPad falling and my heart screamed NOOOOO!

Its a great sander. I bought 2 sanders and the dewalt is great for the larger surfaces. I wish they had a sander that that was a detail sander because thats what I am using as well which is made by skil and skil sanders just leaves way to much debris. If there is a detail sander by dewalt let me know. I am new to this sanding game and its fun. Dewalt

I saw that you grabbed the Ridgid sander. I looked at that one as well. A couple of things I didn't like about it is that it was taller and as I would hold it in my hand, it felt like it was sort of tipsy and wanted to list over easier. I didn't feel like it was as well-balanced as the DeWalt or the Hercules I looked at. The other thing I didn't like was that the on/off buttons are flush-mounted on the housing which made it kind of difficult to press in. I don't have big fingers, but using it with gloves would make it even harder to press. I can imagine someone with thicker fingers would have even more of a difficult time pressing them than I. I went with the DeWalt and thought it had better balance than the Ridgid and it felt more well-balanced. The variable speed dial is also smoother than the Ridgid which felt tighter and less easier to spin.

Dewalt is always a good choice if you need it to feel good in you hands! Cordless sanders are for girls and until the technology catches up they will always take the back seat to corded sanders when it comes down to sanding! Nice review just enough details without being boring.

I have gone through 3 of these in 10 years. Switches break. Does not like abuse!

Time to upgrade I have the Bosch orbital sander but I'm a dealt guy through and through so time to get the bad ass dewalt

I have a made in the USA Porter Cable random orbit palm sander I just can't kill or get rid of. The only thing that sucks with it is the dust collector likes to pop off all the time. If I did more wood working I would splurge on a dust extractor and the best sander that does dust collection that's affordable. I wish I could afford Festool!! I did splurge on the cheap Fein 4 speed drill from Tool Nut though. 169 bucks was a no brainier for me.

I now need a shirt that says, "Holy **** that was my iPad!"

It's on my list as soon as Lowes gets it in stock.

Can you use this to sand joint compound on drywall?

So these are only for wood use. Can it be used to polish marble/granite?

Nice sander!

the last part got me! HAHAH Subscribed!!

Doing concrete countertops and wondering if I can wet sand with this? Thanks, your new subscriber.

I'm likeing this sander guys and plus I don't mind adding more black n yellow to my team ;) I have the Bosch rosv don't remember the rest but that's my go to at the moment I'm definitely gonna check this one out Thanks guys!! And dang that iPad fell from pretty high I thought for sure the screen shattered. T.I.A#1!!!!!

Need to use that sander to sand out that dent on that IPad lol.I want one of those sanders.TIA crew

Guy without the hat looks like Chevy Chase and the guy with the ballcap looks like Tim Thomas, the former NHL goalie. Good video.

I have the corded vs rigid ad i hate it. any time you put to the work the pad slows down to almost stopping. TRASH! I'm excited to get the new dewalt sander. thanks for the vid. you guys are awesome

I really like my skil sander

I almost bought the older versions of these dewalt sanders so many times. Luckily, I waited. This one will be mine! Great video guys, except for when your iPad gave in to gravity there Dan :-(

I have tons of Dewalt and love them. However, I've had my dial on my sander break multiple times. I'd be very interested to know how durable the variable speed dial is. Does it break from medium pressure applied? My other tools haven't had this issue, but the dial on the older Dewalts sucks. I'd be interested to see if yours breaks. Also. When will you guys review cheeseburgers?

What ever happened to the Milawukee tool chest? Its not for sale anywhere anymore

I give you a like because of the Ipad

Hey fellas.....new to your channel but became a quick fan...always good stuff. I am weighing out which sander to go with and am leaning to the DeWalt. I was also looking at the Rockwell Vibra-Free. What do you guys think? I will be using this primarily for light to medium finish work as I do custom AV setups and would like to start doing custom mount cabinets.

Tough break on the iPad! You need an OtterBox. Can't live without mine!

DeWalt ipad Cover? Awesome video enjoyed listening into it. On the Market for a sander, but I keep feeling like im falling into the "Brand Loyalty" as my DeWalt tools keeps increasing lol.

best sander? I agree for the construction aspect of it but you two must review a festool random orbital sander, you will change your mind about the dewalt i gurantee ( IMO ). by the way awesome videos you guys. been a fan since day 1.

I like that it is Variable speed my sander doesn't have that

"Holy Shit! That was my Ipad! That statement made me click the "Like" button. Androids have an Antigravity App that prevents them from falling.

The vibrations from the sander sent your iPad flying.

I ended up with the Milwaukee, but this would have been in my sights had it been out when I was shopping. The only thing I disliked about the previous DeWilt model was the wonky dust port and the reason why I didn't buy it. That being said, these companies need to stop f-ing around with proprietary attachments and stick to standard shop vac sizes.

Wow is right, Apple takes a licking and keeps on ticking. You should make a video on the cover you use for that Ipad. That was very strange how that just fell out of the tool box. Dare I say Ghosts? Ghosts in the TIA machine.

This looks like a really nice sander. Maybe I can sell my Ridgid and grab this one. Glad your Ipad did not crack.

Hey, I think that sander can bring that iPad back!🤔

Sanding is one of those evil necessities nobody like to do but if you have to it pays to have a nice sander.

Thats an awesome sander!! Apple products are always committing suicide

Why don’t you get someone to embroider Sander on your tool bag?

Stoer kereltje met zonnebril op !!!!

Always the cost of the sand paper that keeps me with the cheap old school square pad. Get 20 sheets of sand paper for 1-2 bucks at harbor freight,that cut-up , equals almost 100 cut pieces. Would love 2 see vid on how long those cheap pieces last versus the Velcro disc these use.

Dan can you do me a favor and ask Eric how often he would use the variable speed feature on a sander.

Will DeWalt ever bring out a cordless sander

Dan I bet you no tool company will buy a 30,000 dollar coil.

Haha I had to go back and watch that iPad slowly slide off your toolbox

when the iPad gets a dent,just sand it out, nope

Dewalt over Makita?

A sealey 240v 4000-7000rpm would deal with this in an instant

So thats what chevy chase is doing these days

Milwaukee sander is best!

yeah that was creepy

For 80 bucks you can't go wrong! I will be getting one here soon! Thanks Eric and Dan!

charming accent

Did anyone else try and reach out to catch that iPad as it slid off?

You guys have got some paranormal activity going on in your shop. Whatever it is, doesn't like Apple products.

you just can't go wrong with makita

sorry about the ipad lol

i was expecting to see a "Fail Army" video

Dan are you wearing mascara? Lol

The ipad is going to fall!

Compared to Festool? Festool is way better

Tool reviews by real tools....

music noise too loud !!!!!!!!

Heavy metal music. Really?

Which one has less vibration, 18v ridgid or this dewalt?
