Few orbital sanders on the market accommodate a wide range of user abilities. The tapering body of this design could fit any sized hand and the tilt can be adjusted for left or right-handed users. Soft absorbing surfaces reduce the fatigue caused by vibration and noise. Controls are minimal and easily marked and because it is cordless it offers complete mobility.
