Our Review

The Sealey Random Orbital Sander is an easy to use, comfortable and highly effective tool which produces a smooth finish. It boasts dual orbit action with an orbit size of 8mm and a pad size of 150mm. We like the sander's variable speed controller which lets you set the speed between 1500RPM and 6800RPM. The tool can also be used for polishing when used in conjunction with a separate attachment.
