Review: Great product great value. - This probably the best orbital sander I've ever owned,it is very smooth on the hands very little vibration. It does a great job sanding and the dust collector works better than most. I've owned a DeWalt and that thing was hard to deal with it left my hand tingling when I was finished using it. I've owned a few different brands and this Skill sander is amazing, just FYI I have had a Skill circular saw for about 12 years and it still works as good as the day I bought it. I would highly recommend this orbital sander.
Review: High quality but low price sander - Amazing sander. I needed this sander to sand down a finish of a toy kitchen for my child so I could paint it. This sander worked great and smoothed everything down pretty quickly. I love the adjustable speed and that the container holds a lot of saw dust, but I will admit that a decent amount of dust isn't captured in the container (but it was more than enough to keep me happy). This is a great addition to a tool kit for someone that needs a sander.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: trying to clean up the gray color on my fence boards will this do?**
A: Yes this will do it with about 60 grit...but a power washer is much faster and covers a lot more area faster.

**Q: ander 1o months ago & now won't work. Will warranty cover replacement?**
A: Hello,

For further assistance with your issue please contact our Customer Support line at 1-877-754-5999. Thank you for your inquiry!

**Q: Can i use it for a masonry wall**
A: Hi, Oscar! Good question. The SKIL 2.8 Amp 5 IN. Random Orbital Sander is ideal for sanding applications on wood, metal and plastic. Additionally, some applications such as plastics, glass, or stone, require silicon carbide discs, which have a very sharp cutting edge. For additional information, please visit page 13 in your owner's manual. Thank you for your inquiry!

**Q: Dust collector is almost impossible to put on. Is it supposed to be pushed all the way down?**
A: Hi, Mikisho! Great question. The dust canister included with your SKIL SR211601 random orbital sander does need to be pushed onto the sander until it is locked in place. For additional information, we advise visiting page 12 in your owner's manual. Thank you for your inquiry!
