Product Overview
I have been an avid DIYer for many years and have tried a lot of different power tools. Recently, I had the opportunity to try out the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Palm Sander and I was really impressed by its features and performance.
First of all, the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Palm Sander is powered by a brushless motor which provides efficiency and runtime to get the job done quickly. That s great for anyone who needs to sand a lot of surfaces in a short amount of time. Additionally, it has variable speed control from 8,000 14,000 OPM so you can match the speed to whatever application you are working on.
The sander is also designed with a low profile height so you can get close to the work surface for precise sanding. It has a paper clamp designed to hold paper securely and allow for easy installation. Plus, it has a dust sealed switch to protect against dust ingestion for long switch life. And, it has a texturized rubber overmold grip for comfortable sanding.

The DEWALT 20V MAX XR Palm Sander also comes with an one handed locking dust bag and dust port that is designed to fit directly to the DWV010 or DWV012 dust collectors sold separately . To attach dust port to other vacuum systems with 1 1/4 inch hoses, use DWV9000 universal quick connector sold separately . And, if you need more coverage, you can purchase the optional long dust chute not included Part Number N684701 for use with 6 Ah batteries and larger.
Overall, I am very impressed with this product from DEWALT and would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs an efficient and powerful sander that can handle any task at hand. It is easy to use and maneuverable making it perfect for both professional contractors as well as DIYers alike who need something that can do their job quickly and effectively without sacrificing on quality or safety.
