A little too big to access tight corners, and not aggressive enough to effectively sand the total pad area. No speed adjustment. Inexpensive though, and no batteries to maintain. Dust collection was not effective, bag is inconvenient/hard to clean completely. Simultaneously used a Rigid palm sander, and its dust bag was much easier to empty and clean out. Meh, the price was right, and used in conjunction with other tools, it got the job done. In my case, if I were to consider this type of tool again, I'd opt for a finish sander with a smaller form factor.

Last of the sanders I need to finish just about any job. It is light, easy to handle and gets in the tightest of places. Quick interchangeable sanding pads that rotate on three points at the tip. Has a pad punch which doubles as a plate shield. Dust bag collects and keeps the job neat.

I bought this sander to restore a picnic bench that was given to me by my mother. This sander did the job quite well. If you have a small project or need to get a pesky corner this sander will do the job. I have only used it a handful of times but I can see from the results that this sander is well worth the buck. It comes with a few sheet of sand paper and a spiffy little Ryobi case. Not bad for $25.

    Solid sanding in comfort
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the corner cat for a large door and trim project and the cat has helped in all but the tightest of spots. I've been using the corner cat to strip old poly-blend from the jambs prior to painting and it has performed admirably. The grip is comfortable enough for long periods of sanding.

    Great sander shop vac hooks right up to it. Great for making toys and getting in tight spaces. As always I like Ryobi and their prices. I really have no need for the bags tools come in though. I usually build something to store them on wall for ease of access.

      The best $25 investment I've ever made in my entire life so far...
      No assembly. Who's got time for that anyway?? Just stick pads on the bottom of it (no opening or screwing or whatever). I used this for a desk and even for walls to sand down patching compound and sanding down stripes on walls. I want to buy 10 more so that I can have them forever... FANTASTIC.

      I wish I would have bought a higher amperage orbital sander or a belt sander. It is nice getting into tight corners. For big sanding projects buy a big sander.

      Pleased with this purchase. The 1.2 amp is just right for small household projects. Gets into window sill corners, removes old paint, etc. Dust bag works really well too.

      No Regrets!!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m redoing our kitchen and I needed a small sander so I bought this RYOBI corner sander and I’m glad I did. This thing is powerful and does a great job and it all comes in its own bag.

          Dust bag does not work
          I bought this with a bag to refinish the wood work around my windows. The bag is worthless! I have yet to pull off the bag & find dust in it. So I pulled the bag off & put the hose from my shop vac where the bag attaches, big improvement I still have some dust left where I have sanded but at least the shop vac is preventing the dust from flying around It's going back to HD

              One Great Corner Sander
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned this for 2 weeks now & it’s a great small power tool. Love how it works. The carpet style hooks & loops to change a sandpaper sheet. The dust collector is awesome. A great product Ryobi !!!!

                I think it’s one of the noisier sanders I’ve used and it’s at the high end for price. It’s good if the noise isn’t an issue for you

                Great Concept- Not the Greatest Application
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found that it worked with a lot of patience but it didn’t work as well as I had home. Discovered that you can rotate the tip of the some sand papers as the tip wears out really quickly. It was better than manually using sand paper with your hands. The bag emptied out nicely
