This was perfect for sanding hardwood corners and edges in a hallway that we are refinishing! I am also going to use it to prep some old wood furniture with lots of edges and curves! Thank you!

      Loved the idea - hate the execution
      Size and shape make for comfortable sanding in tight spaces. However, the sandpaper that is supposed to work with this is only available in a limited grit selection and the paper DOES NOT STAY ON THE SANDER!!

        Hello, Atown - We're sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience with this detail sander! Here are a few tips that may help. When sanding, make sure not to apply additional pressure, but let the sander and sandpaper do the work. Also, make sure not to allow sanding on one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven. We hope that these are helpful, but if not, please send us an email at Reviews@RYOBItools.com. We'd be happy to talk further with you and see if there's anything else we can do to turn your experience around. RYOBIOutdoorTools

              No, this was recommended as the option with felt on the back side to adhere to the sander and it too was sticky, second recommendation we got from Home Depot that was wrong

                  Pads do not stick. Replaced backing pad and they still fall off. Have to use gorilla glue spray and let it set for 30 minutes before they stay on. Needs hook and loop backing pad

                      Not A Product, but a Process Review
                      Good Purchase, on time store to door delivery & fair pricing.. This sander gets into tight corners well, but this required writing process with multiple emails requesting a purchase evaluation beyond the 5 star rating invites both lower ratings & poor reviews. Try not wasting a consumer's time.

                      Great size and power.
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great-sized product and works well in small corners.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to sand detail work on wood entry doors. It gets all the nooks and crannies easily

                          smooth sanding
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a detail sander that wasn't as big or noisy as my others as I was working on a fragile substrate; the Ryobi detail sander performed perfectly for my needs and will be using it more than my other multi-tools for sanding.

                                This small sander does one powerful job! I've been using to sand and repaint my paned storm windows which are original to my house and it really gets in the corners. I'm very pleased!

                                        Good for small places and detail, but not great. Nice to just enough power to sand but not so much you can't easily contemporary it.

                                                  The sandpaper would not stay on the sander! It needs to have a little clip so the sandpaper won’t come off.

                                                    Not compatible with Ryobi cordless sanders!
                                                    These sandpaper pieces have a sticky backing that does not fits with the velcro type fitting on the Ryobi cordless sander. They stick poorly and when they slip off they leave the sticky material behind, so now your correct velcro sandpapers will not work!

                                                        This is my second one. I purchased one before and I had to return it because I had trouble turning it on. I had 90 days to return so I went and Home Depot. They returned my money with no questions asked. So this is my second. So far it works great. Plus it did not cost a lot so I can not complain. I would definitely buy a palm sander in the future from this company.

                                                          Purchased this sander earlier today. It's pretty worthless. Got so hot after 5 minutes I had to shut it off. Yes, I'm using a proper 3prong outlet. No. My fingers do NOT cover the vent holes. I'm retired and usually research my purchases thoroughly in advance. I saw this in store and got it on impulse. I am so sorry I did.
