Tool Test: Multi-Function Detail Sanders

Model 17438

Used it to: Sand a picture frame.

My two cents: "The vacuum attachment minimizes dust, but having only one battery means lots of downtime. Its single speed can be overpowering for some jobs."

Comes with: Straight and semicircular wood- and-metal-cutting blades; triangular sanding pad; assorted sandpaper; carbide grout-cutting blade; carbide rasp; scraper blade (shown); 12-volt lithium-ion battery; 30-minute charger; vacuum adapter.

Tool stats: 15,000 opm without soft start; LED; 1.8 pounds
