Innovative Features and Benefits
The SKIL 7292-01 1/4-Sheet Palm Sander features an illuminated four-level pressure gauge that allows users to keep a close watch on the amount of pressure they are applying to the material. If users press too firmly, the third and fourth bars will light up, signaling them to lighten the pressure, resulting in perfect results every time.

The two-amp motor is controlled by a dust-sealed on/off switch, while the soft-grip handle gives users increased comfort and control. A removable micro-filtration dust canister is used to help collect even the smallest particles of dust. This high-tech dust canister is also transparent, making it easy to keep tabs on accumulating debris. And if you would like to use a vacuum for maximum dust control, simply remove the canister and attach any standard 2-1/2-inch vacuum hose to the dust port.

This review is from: Skil 7292-01 2 Amp 1/4 Sheet Palm Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a great sander. I have used it with different grades of sandpaper and the results are the same each time. The palm grip is very comfortable, which makes using it for long periods at a time a simple exercise with no tingling in the hand after use, from vibration. The cannister for collecting the dust fits firmly but easy to remove. It would not vibrate off during use. The pressure indicator is very useful as it helps the user to avoid excessive pressure on the unit, thus enabling the extension of the service life of the sander. However, the sandpaper with which it was shipped loses its grit very soon and would tear easily when sanding corners or edges of the project. Nevertheless, I make no hesitation in recommending this very good performing sander.

my new sander had less then 10 hours of use and just stopped working. Must be the "dust proof" switch that failed
