Review – I have always been a DIYer and since I bought my new home, I have been busy with projects around the house. I have always been interested in tools that make my tasks easier. This TACKLIFE 5-inch random orbital sander should be very helpful. let’s see! !
What is it?
The TACKLIFE 5 inch random orbital sander is a 3.0 Ampere 350W 5 inch random orbital sander. It generates 13,000 tracks per minute.

Design and features
feature
- Strong applicability: 6 Adjustable speed dial supports you to monitor accurate speed according to different jobs; 3.0A (350W)/13000 OPM motor provides strong power, compared with traditional manual polishing, it can work 13000 circles per minute.
- High-performance dust collection: It provides a clean working environment with compact size and ergonomic design. This sander can easily enter a small space and satisfy the user’s maximum control. It is an ideal choice for DIY homeowners.
- Efficient and comfortable design: The rubber grip design improves the comfort and control of the operator; the switch is located on the top of the sander, and the switch is activated by pressing it naturally with the palm of the hand, just like using the sander.
- Ideal for indoor work: The precision-designed full ball bearing structure reduces vibration and noise. The machine works stably, with low vibration and low noise, which is very suitable for indoor work. It is not suitable for wall sanding. The dust on the wall is too thin, which will block the dust collection system, and the dust will spread easily, and the ideal dust collection effect will not be achieved.
There is an on/off switch on the front of the sander for easy use. It also has a built-in trash can and a rotation speed/power selector switch.
Performance
Out of the box, the only thing you need to do is to choose the sanding pad you want, and then press it on the sander.
There is a speed control button for you to choose the required working speed/power.
The following video shows I am sanding/polishing a piece of wood I used for the project. I am using No. 180 sandpaper. It is also important to note that the piece of wood I am polishing sits freely on the 2 end posts of the stairs in my basement. The sander does not generate significant vibrations, so the wood itself stays in place:
what do I like
- Build quality
- Built-in dust collector
- Easy to install sand pad
- Ease of use (low vibration)
What will i change
Final thoughts
In general, this sander is a good tool, and IMHO, the price is very good. It has enough power to handle most home sanding tasks, can be used with standard 5-inch sanding pads, produces low vibrations for easy handling, and it is well-made.
Price: 39.99 USD
