Buy On Amazon
Sanders come in many varieties so there’s no right or wrong answer to finding the best option. It’s better to think about hunting out the best sander for your particular needs. Luckily, we’re here to help…
In today’s Tacklife random orbit sander review, we’ll walk you through the finer points of this multi-purpose detailing sander which is ideal for a range of indoor work.
Take a glance now at this tool’s core strengths and weaknesses before we dig a little deeper…
Pros
Rugged 2.8-amp, 350-watt motor gives you adequate oomph for rigorous finishing work or smaller stock removal projects
Extremely cost-effective sanding solution without sacrificing performance or precision
Harness 6 speeds to work the sander at up to 13,000 OPM (orbits per minute) allowing you to work with speed and precision
Dust collection box enables you to keep your workshop spick and span
5-inch sanding pad offers plenty of coverage while still permitting finesse
On/off trigger lock means you can wield this sander one-handed and work without feeling strained
Although they are not provided, you can fit matching polishing pads to expand your horizons
12 pieces of sandpaper included so get to work directly out the box
30-day money back guarantee coupled with 2-year limited warranty removes any reason not to buy and try
Cons
6 ½ foot cord is slightly too short for unfettered movement
Some reported issues with the dust collection box vibrating and falling off
Random orbit sanders operate with the sanding disk spinning and moving in small circles simultaneously. You’ll be able to engage in finish work while also using the sander for stock removal so the Tacklife serves efficient double-duty.
As long as you don’t expect to use this sander day in and day out on the job site, it should serve you admirably at home. The 2.8-amp motor is more than powerful enough for shaving off material or applying a nice fine finish. Tweak the speed up to a maximum of 13,000 OPM depending on the application.
Using this sander is a real pleasure. There’s little worse than trying to relax and focus on your woodworking project while being niggled by an uncomfy tool. The on/off paddle switch near the top comes into play through the natural pressure of your hand. If you want to lock it on, you can forge away without needing to continually press.
Effective dust collection is crucial when you’re sanding. There’s plenty of debris generated which you need to make sure stays well clear of your line of sight and away from your sander. The Tacklife helps you to maintain a dust-free working environment at all times.
The 5-inch pad means you can get plenty of work done in a hurry. The scaled-down dimensions let you access hard-to-reach areas and, weighing just over 3 pounds, it’s light enough to hold for hours without causing any discomfort.
If you need to undertake any polishing work, you’ll be able to buy and affix some more or less any pads as long as you make sure they’re the right size. The precise diameter is 4.92 inches so buy accordingly.
There are a couple of minor niggles with the Tacklife worth drawing your attention to…
Although it does a great job at keeping the dust away, a few users have moaned about the vibration from the collection box that can even cause it to fall away when in operation.
The other slight annoyance is a power cord less than 7 feet long. There’s really no excuse for cutting corners on a piece of cable and it can make things restrictive if you need to wander around working.
Overall, though, these are negligible downsides set against the shower of benefits you’ll get with this highly capable random orbit sander.
Final Word
If you’re looking for a high caliber random orbit sander that doesn’t cost the earth but won’t let you down with shoddy build quality, the Tacklife variable speed is worthy of a place on any shortlist.
With a motor that punches above its weight, variable speed and an effective dust collection system, this sander is ideal for those small finishing jobs or light to medium stock removal whether you’re just starting out or a more experienced woodworker. The 30-day refund or replacement option should remove any lingering doubt from your mind. What have you got to lose?
