Black & Decker 1/4 Sheet 2.0A Finish Sander

I bought this sander about a year ago I loved it so much that I bought another one just recently. One of the best standers had ever purchased. The panel locking in the on position is one of the greatest things ever.

I have used this sander on several refinishing projects: 2 bookcases, a 2-drawer stereo stand, 4 night stands, an antique washstand, and a large oak dining table. The sander works great! I have used various sanding grits and prefer to cut my own sanding sheets (1/4 of a large sheet); I've use the included punch block to make the holes and have had no problems with fit or slippage.

Because of the pandemic I've spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos which have got me interested in repurposing old items. I bought an old entertainment center and have been turning it into a toy kitchen for my kids. I bought this sander so I could sand it down before painting it. I'm very new to all this and this is my first sander so I'm not even sure if I got the right type for the job I'm doing. However, it works great! I was able to sand everything down and repaint it with no problems. Now I'm on the hunt for more things to sand just for practice. I love that this sander has a dust collection bag attached because when I was sanding by hand the dust got everywhere and made my allergies go crazy. I also like that the tray has the little notches on it to poke holes in the sand paper so I can but the big sheets and cut it down myself. If I had to pick anything to say might be a negative, it would be that the vibrations make the lock button jiggle. Other than that, this is a great sander and I can't wait to add more B+D tools to my collection!

I bought this sander for some small projects with my grandsons. I like the size cause it would be easy for them to use. We have used on several wood projects and they have no problem in using it because of its size. If you buy this sander you need to read the instructions about the sandpaper and dust bag. A template comes with it so you can cut sandpaper sheets to the correct size and location for the holes in the paper so the dust catcher will work properly. Love this good little sander. Would definitely recommend it for small projects.

This is my second B&D 1/4 sheet sander. The first one lasted over 5 years of average use. The bearing which is located in the bottom platen gave way. Cost of the platen is more than 50 % cost of the machine and hence I had to buy a completely new Sander. I like the feature of palm actuated paddle switch on the new Sander. The machine is robust and easy to handle.

I love this sander! I think this is my fifth or sixth one in the past fifteen years or so. They do an exceptional job prepping lumber before use. They are priced reasonably and provide great service. Contact their parts dept if you need help or to order parts.

Great little sander gets into tough areas. Has good power for the furniture projects I create

Purchased in December 2020. Works great on projects. Unfortunately the sander pad wore away to the point where the screws were scratching wood. But B & D quickly replaced my unit with a brand new within days of me bringing the issue to their attention.

I like the ease of using the product. The venting collects most of all the wood dust. I haven't been able to find ready made sheets, that are cut to size, vented, and in assorted sizes! My local store only sells huge packs of each individual grit, coarse, and medium. I want an assortment pack, without cutting my own. Kind of ridiculous to me.

Horrible design on the paper clamps. The sheets won't stay on for more than a minute of sanding, then reattaching is useless. They detach within 2 seconds. Junk - to the garbage can. Way too frustrating.
