MakitaDBO180Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Sander - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Trusted Makita quality, my first go-to for power toolsLasts a surprisingly good amount of time with my old 4Ah and 5Ah batteries however, I've not timed them, far too busy!The dust collection bag is tiny but serves a purpose to an extent. I've not tried to attach a vac as the connection is tiny and possibly wouldn't draw enough air to keep the vac coolIt will endure some years of use & most of my corded sanders are now collecting the dust not creating it

This tool is a perfect addition to my Makita collection. I have used it for sanding walls before painting at home and for other jobs around the house. It has performed those tasks perfectly.

Brilliant, great value

You you are the Lxt platform you will not find a better value RO sander. Effcient, reasonably sized, reasonably quiet. Buy it.

Went to use my old Bosch 240v mains 1/3 sheet sander, but found that I'd forgotten that it's really noisy and the hand vibrations were unacceptable. So, time to add to the Makita 18v cordless LXT tools in my kit. This compact 125mm circular orbital sander is more capable that expected, reasonably quiet and with much better vibration suppression. Ii needed it to take the hand sanding effort out of refurbishing our outside teak dining table and six chairs now that Summer has almost arrived. Tackled the jobs very easily and with comfort. Light weight and size belied its performance which was more than acceptable and helped me finish the task in a fraction of the expected time. Sanding sheeet lasted well and the 18v battery consumption was more than acceptable. Very pleased overall.

This is great, we needed to sand down a 200 yr old front door , with numerous layers of paint. This made it so easy and did a good job of it.The results, after putting on the new paint. The door looks brand new.The sander was quiet , no effort to use and got round those awkward bits, which with sand paper is a nightmare.cut the sanding time down to a minimum.Great piece of kit.

Excellent purchase. Good make. Good price.

Put off buying this for sometime as I felt it was abit of a luxury tool. I had a corded Black and Decker detail/orbital sander (BnD) that was on longterm loan from a friend, which kind off worked and there's nothing wrong with abit of handsanding.Anyway, I eventually cracked and bought this as a birthday present to myself and from first use wished I had cracked earlier.Firstly no more wires, an obvious thing but what a difference! Also the vibration and noise are so much less compared to the BnD. You could use it without ear protection for a short period (not that I'd recommend doing this), where as after a few seconds with the BnD your ears would start to bleed. The passive dust collection is also pretty good, I did 3D print a vacuum hose adaptor for when sanding in the home or for sanding MDF/paints. The battery lasts on full power longer than it takes to charge a spare battery so constant sanding is possible with two batteries (mine are 3ah).It is worth noting this is for light-ish sanding as it hasn't got the power of a corded (though more than the BnD), if there's a lot of material to remove you'd do better with a belt sander and/or power planer.All and all it's a great bit of kit and if you've got a reasonable amount of sanding coming up it's definitely worth the money.
