ONE+ 18V Cordless 5 in. Random Orbit Sander (Tool-Only)

I love using good sandpaper on my orbital sander when I am sanding rough lumber and this ryobi sandpaper is no joke. It’s amazing! This 5 inch sandpaper comes in 3 different grits 220, 120, and 80. It has very good Velcro on the back with perfectly sized holes for catching sawdust in many different brands of sanders. As you can see in the pictures it is good quality and I’m happy with the product.

I’ve been buying more Ryobi items lately, not a lot; but a few here and there depending on circumstances. I wasn’t pleased really with the brand of sandpaper I was using for the last 7-8 years, so I figured why not try this Ryobi paper and see how it holds up. Inside the package was 3x 80 grit, 2x 120 grit, and 2x 220 grit. The first thing I noticed was that all the dust/exhaust holes in the paper lined up perfectly with the base pad and all of the dust/exhaust holes on my 5” Skil orbital sander. The old brand I used was always out of round and the holes never lined up right which created thick dust clouds. My old brand would also spontaneously tear away from the Velcro backing, usually on a brand new piece if the base pad was hot from friction, and then never stick to the sander again. To test the paper I ran a piece of 80 grit on an 1’ by 8’ strip of OSB that I’m going to use as a temporary substrate while I’m bending pre-painted rolled aluminum wrapping. I only sanded it to ensure I didn’t mar up the painted finish as I’m trying to work it. After about 30 minutes of sanding it was fairly smooth and the paper was still cutting nicely. There was little to no loading on the paper. Any dust was easily brushed away. Most of the dust was being sucked into the cartridge filter on the sander as well, which dramatically improved the air quality compared to the old brand I used. I then swapped out the 80 grit for a piece of 120 grit next to sand up some 1” x 3” wood that I’d ripped in half on the table saw. This was going to be put up as casing on a front door I’d just installed. The 120 grit made quick work of the pine and was smooth enough for my needs within about 5 minutes. There was a bit more loading on the 120 grit compared to the 80 grit, but a soft brush took care of it easily. The biggest gains I noticed over the brand I used previously were: 1. The paper seems not load up or burn the dust into the paper. It continues to cut well even after long periods of use. 2. The glued backing doesn’t separate from the paper backing when the sander heats up from friction. 3. The exhaust holes for wood dust are perfectly positioned, for my sander anyway, which significantly reduced the saturation of wood particles in the air, thereby improving air quality. I plan on sticking with this paper for the foreseeable future; I’d only be taking steps backwards if I didn’t.

I like this variety pack because it is excellent for a complete project from rough sanding all the way to fine finishing. Though these are Ryobi products, the perfectly fit my Milwaukee random orbital sander and have the same hook & loop attachment system. This pack is enough to sand and finish a medium piece of furniture and then some! Great Ryobi quality as well.

Overall very good quantity. Thicker than some others out there. Very easy to switch back and forth and no issues with the backing. All the discs are pretty sturdy and easy to use. It fist any other sander out there. Doesn’t have to be specific to a Ryobi. The package comes with different grits. They are economical. No gaps when mounting. One disc lasted an tire sanding of a one bedroom furniture. Would keep buying.

This orbit sand paper kit worked exactly as I thought. These fit my Dewalt orbital sander perfectly with the holes matching perfectly for the dust vents. I used them for a backsplash project, I had removed old brick plastic plating leaving my wall very rough. This pack had 80 grit, 120, grit, and 220 grit, and I used all of them to make my wall flat for my project.

This multi pack (seven total) of assorted sanding discs is perfect if you are doing a small project and need various different grits of sandpaper during your finishing process. Obviously it is compatible with the Ryobi branded sanders. The discs themselves are of fairly good quality, and would fit any brand orbital sander with eight dust collection holes.

First of all I have to admit I like Ryobi products and I have a good number of them. So when I saw this variety pack of 5" random orbital sander sanding disks I wanted to give them a try. My project is transforming a wooden tool cabinet that I built over 20 years ago into a coffee machine / condiments cart. The pack comes with 3 x 80 grit disks, 2 x 120 grit disks and 2 x 220 grit disks, which is pretty much what I use on stain and sealer projects. I like the hook and loop fasteners (aka velcro) over adhesive backed or mechanical grip attachment systems. I have had the adhesive disks fly off... fortunately away from me and not toward me, I have yet to have these hook and loop disks fly off. The attached photos show the disks and the transformation of the well used top to the finish I'm looking for, kind of a rustic finish with the wood grain of the plywood being shown off.,

RYOBI 5” Seven Piece Random Orbit Sand Paper (A21701) comes with a “Variety” of grits. The discs 8 holes for dust collection matched my non-Ryobi sander perfectly. The three grits provided – 80, 120, 220 – are a good selection for general duty sanding. The paper cuts well without loading up excessively. I appreciate that the plastic packaging was labeled for recycling. My complaint is that there is no indication on the packaging, and no way to determine without opening the package, what the additional grits are or how many there are. I can see that one is P220 but there is no way to see the other grits provided or how many of each. I would be asking for assistance at the store to open the package to determine this. As a consumable item, warranty against defective parts and labor only. Made in China; Imported by Mexico.

Very good no complaints about it! Cordless make the job easier for sanding I recommended to everyone who love sanding wood thank you Ryobi to make my life easier

The Ryobi 7-piece orbit sand paper is great for this crafter. When my new puppy decided he wanted to use my curio table as a teething ring, I simply looked for metal corner pieces and refinished the table. The variety pack of sand paper allowed me to strip the old stain, smooth out the bite marks and prepare the the table with a new coat of stain. The table turned out great! If you’ve got a refinishing project, I would recommend this sand paper!!

Ryobi sanding disc variety pack comes with 7 discs. 3 - 80 grit discs. 2 - 120 grits discs and 2 - 240 grit discs. They are economical and they were work most 5 inch orbital sanders. They worked well with my 20 volt DeWalt orbital sander as all holes lined up. The disc them selves hold up well but i really haven't put them through a big project yet.

Very good sanding discs. The backing is tight which avoids the fuzzing of the sanders back up pad. Many cheap discs have a loose, fuzzy backing which makes for poor adhesion when sanding. The grit is well set with no gaps on the mounting. Also the discs don't load up with whatever you are sanding. Even soft woods don't load up the discs. Recommend these for all sanding jobs

This is a good sandpaper variety pack for 5" Random Orbital Sanders typically used by consumers and small professional shops. The 8 hole discs are fuzzy backed and will fit the wide majority of hook & loop based sanders. (Large shops have industrial compressors and use pneumatic tools with adhesive backed abrasive discs.) Includes two 220 grit discs, two 120 grit and three 80 grit discs. These are the grit "steps" that I use in my home shop for wood projects.

This pack of sand paper for 5 inch orbit sanders is a very good quality. Each paper has lasted me through several projects. It sticks well to my Black and Decker orbital sander and does exactly what it is meant to do. One of my projects was to fix our camper's slide out moulding as one of our dogs chewed it next to the sofa. I used a P80 grit first, gave the area a base coat of paint, then used a P220 to fine sand before painting the moulding again. The moulding looks much better than it did before the sanding and painting.

These sandpaper discs do seem to be well made. The dust collection holes are cleanly punched through. The fuzzy backing is affixed well. I removed and replaced one of the 80 grit and 120 grit discs several times and had no issues with the backing pulling off. I have not used the 220 grit from this package yet but I see no reason that it should not work just as fine. The grit number is clearly imprinted on the fuzzy side of each disc. I have had other brand discs that were only printed in one or two spots and some that were not printed as dark. That made it difficult at times to see which disc I was picking up. These do not have that problem.

The Ryobi 7-Piece 5 in. Random Orbit sand paper assortment set is a great assortment set to tackle various jobs. The set comes with 2-220 grit, 2-120 grit and 3-80 grit sand paper for your orbital sander. All the sand paper needed to rough sand and work your way to a smooth finish for painting or staining. This sand paper is for the newer 8 hole orbital sanders

I used this sander to sand my living room and dining room floors after 3 refinishers refused the job or said I had to replace the floor because they would not sand face nailed wide plank floors. I spent a week crawling around on the floor going through 6 batteries every night and with a dust collection system running but I got the job done and the sander still works. Honestly for what I paid for this sander and the job I did I am completely satisfied, I ran this thing for an hour and a half to two hours straight for over a week and it still works. For those that want to use a dust collector, I used the hose from the Rigid Car Detailing set, it is a 1-1/4 hose and it fit perfect, I combined it with a dusttopper and the system worked great until 120 grit when it a lot more dust got into the vacuum. Having just a hose to manage made this setup way better than a corded sander.

Ryobi seemed to update this sander and remove the vacuum port. You get to pay about $13-$15 for a really small cheap piece of plastic that should have come with the tool. The part is pretty small so you’ll need another adapter to attach it to your vac and it also didn’t even suction well. I have a bunch of other Ryobi products, including an orbital sander, that suction much better. This left dust all over the work piece. The money is not going to break the bank. Just feels like a bad move to not include it and for it to work so badly. The sander itself works great, just leaves a lot of dust behind.

I have slowly been trying to add a Ryobi tool whenever I get a chance. This sander was the last one I picked up and it definitely gets the job done. The design, the quality and performance is is very good. I haven’t had a problem with it. I can’t wait to use it again. The last time I used it I finally put pickets on my moms front doorstep deck area. She even helped out sanding.

I actually liked the quality of the sander was nice to use and didn’t leave swirls on the small kitchen cabinet frame I was working on and it kept a good finish but with a new 1.5 amp hour battery I had to charge 3x to finish a very small project. Perhaps with a 4 or 6 amp hour battery it would have been more workable but I wasn’t willing to invest in them. Exchanged it for a corded model instead.

I usually don't give an excellent rating but the Ryobi 18 volt one deserves the 5 star. What I like is the sander, which equals in results of my corded much more expense random orbit sanders, frees me from the wall plug.

Great tool. Highly recommend.

Absolutely great product from ryobi for the quality and price you can't go wrong with this product.

I’ve owned this sander for less than a year. It was great. Speed and power was good. Seemed to get the job done. Hook it up to a shop vac and it is virtually dustless. Though I didn’t like the fact it seemed to give me hand cramps that others didn’t give me, I liked it. The like lasted until recently when the button failed. I’m not sure if they use a cheap plastic switch in it but if it’s not pressed right, it will turn off in the middle of sanding. It no longer has the slight resistance when pressed. It freely slides in. Luckily, Ryobi has a great warranty.

I purchased this as i liked the convenience of cordless. I used it mainly on 3 projects. A piano restore, a wine barrel and a small bathroom prior to painting. It stopped working then, so i opened it thinking I had clogged something. Discovered that the motor which has brass cog is sat upon by a plastic cog which then belt loops to another. When the motor gets warm it heats up th plastic which then melts. No parts available to replace it so now its all trash. Wont buy another

I like how it works. Just need to replace the battery and paper regularly when sanding 2x4s

well built, works perfectly!! Best orbital sander I have, because it is battery operated it makes it very convenient!

Full disclosure, I'm somewhat of a tool addict. I settled on Ryobi years ago because the value of what you get for what you pay is fairly high. Most tool guys will settle on a "Brand" of power tool and stick to it to avoid building a collection of chargers and batteries that don't interoperate. My brand is Ryobi for the 18/20V stuff and Milwaukee for the smaller 12V tools. So naturally when I needed a RO Sander for a toolbox restoration, I had two choices. I could get a more expensive Milwaukee 12V model or this product. I chose this product because I have more Ryobi Batteries. It performed admirably, and everything fit together as expected out of the box. I put a lot of hours on this sander in a very short amount of time, doing rough paint removal work from a well aged toolbox and it did everything I asked of it without issue. If I had to pin any complaints on it, after many hours of holding the darn thing I eventually couldn't find a comfortable place to grip it, but this is probably a commentary I could make of any Palm RO Sander, not specifically this model. For 40 bucks, it worked like a charm.

Sanding is never the fun part of any project for me, so I have a few different sanders in my shop. The project I am doing right now so far has been all sanding, I am attempting to repair/restore an old chair/table. While my Ryobi cordless Orbital sander does the bulk of the work, there are places it just can’t reach. I owned a corded finish sander before, but love my Ryobi cordless tools, so decided to go this way. It performed it’s task very well, in fact just as nice as the corded one I have, the only problem is I am doing hours of sanding on this project and of course the sanders seem to go through batteries pretty fast. Thank goodness I own a lot of batteries and chargers. I would also suggest you buy some extra pieces of sand paper when you buy this, the paper it comes with did not hold up very well.

Ryobi has really come a long way, would never have recommended their tools a few years ago but the newest versions are very good and dependable, can't beat the price either
