This little sander is a powerhouse in a compact package. It buzzes like a bee with a mission and smooths out every rough edge (including my DIY ego). The 3-position grip? Genius. Even my awkward hands feel like pros. Plus, the dust collector actually does something—shocking, I know.Perfect for corners, tight spots, and anyone sanding with determination and zero chill.

I bought this tool to use for pedicures and my clients love it. It Fits nicely in my hands when I’m working so I have maximum control. The design is neat and comfortable when in use. The build quality is superb, dust collection is excellent. It is definitely value for your money for whatever purpose you buy it for.

Comfortable and easy to use for anyone. The corner attachment worked well for tiny nooks on a cabinet door. This is my second one, after wearing out the first one. Easy decision to replace in kind.

Update: Mar 14, 2021. Started a new project and the mouse has started to shed! I don’t know how long they are suppose to last, but this was “Ordered on July 5, 2018”. I removed a star for the mouse starting to shed rubber on the back left side. It still performs like a champ.Still a great productHUSBAND: What’s in the box?ME: My new Mouse sander!HUSBAND: What are you going to sand with that little thing?ME: Wait and see…I almost took a pass on this opting for the circular model, but discovered many DIY selfers working with furniture and chalk paint recommended this sander. I didn’t want to spend much and the price tag convinced me. It was Black+Decker after all. It would become my first sander.I am not a professional craftsman by any means. I’m not even a hobby or DIY craftsman. I am the “tired of looking at that” craftsman who decides to do something about it. I admit it, the mouse is cute! It fits my small hand and is not heavy to work with when sanding large areas (I fractured my wrist a few years back so weight can become an issue when working with some tools). My earlier projects were limited to sanding patched areas on my walls (5 stars Mousey), but recently I decided to tackle something a little larger and more challenging… the bathroom vanity.The cabinet is an old “vintage” oak vanity that comes with buying an old house. The more you look at it and spend time on Pinterest, the more you learn to hate it. I wanted to update to a more modern rustic look and a new paint job and hardware would get me there. Not only was the Mouse easy to use and maneuver around and in to crevices, corners, curves and dips, but the motor was strong enough to reveal that my “wood” vanity was NOT all wood. Yep, sanded off that faux wood veneer to find either pressboard or particle board underneath. The only wood was the face frame and doors. Yuck! On the other hand, the mouse did me proud and held up well. No sore wrists, cramped hands or hot motor. The dust attachment is OK. It fills but takes a little getting used to when it comes to emptying. On the other hand, I expected to have dust everywhere and was not disappointed since it’s hard to sand without it. What is pure genius is the velcro solution to changing sandpaper sheets, it was easy on and off. Once on, the sheet stays in place for the job. One P80 sheet completed the cabinet with changing to the P220 for smoothing out. Cabinet now sanded smooth and ready to prime. Overall, this is a great little work horse for the price.P.S. Husband now uses the Mouse for most of his projects. It may not look “manly” but it does get the job done.

Very comfortable in my hand. It is powerful and fast. The pads are easy to change and stay in place. All in all I am very happy. I got a really good sander at a really good price.
