Overview

A workshop or job site with a power outlet is where this Ridgid sander runs. It is corded electric and rated at several amps, with a maximum speed listed and a medium grit noted.

The warranty package is generous: a satisfaction policy, a limited term and a service agreement. The listing is thin on what kind of sander it is. Included components read as bare tool.

Who it's for

A tradesperson who sands near a power outlet gets a corded tool with a long warranty. Shoppers wanting a cordless sander, or a confirmed sander type, should look elsewhere.

Performance notes
