The Ryobi ROS300 Random Orbit Sander is a well built, powerful and compact tool which achieves a smooth finish, whether you're removing large amounts of stock, or engaging in fine detail sanding. It has a reliable 300W motor which delivers consistent power. The tool has a compact and lightweight design which greatly aides its manoeuvrability.

Two design elements which we like in particular are the sander's comfortable palm grip handle and over-mould power switch. Dust is collected in the sander's dust box with cyclonic technology. Five pieces of quick-fit sandpaper are included with the tool.
