Overview

At about 2.31 pounds, the SKIL SR250801 is a lightweight sander built for handheld work. Beyond the weight, Amazon does not publish further specs for this listing.

SKIL's sander lineup spans orbital, detail and belt models, and this listing does not specify which type the SR250801 is or what sandpaper size it takes. The light weight suggests a handheld orbital or detail sander rather than a larger belt unit.

Who it's for

Light sanding on furniture, trim or small projects is where this earns its keep, with the reduced weight cutting down on arm fatigue. Heavy material removal is not confirmed as a strength, since sanding type and power are not listed.
