Review: Beast sander !!!! - What a beast of a sander this thing is like a grinder for metal but it’s for wood !! I’m using it to strip paint from T1 11 and it’s so much better than a palm sander. Go ahead and get it you want be disappointed
Review: Game changer! - Wish I would have pulled the trigger on this purchase years ago. I finally got fed up with belt sanders. Tired of having to watch if the belt is drifting. Tired of replacing perfectly good belts, other than the glue strip/tape came loose. Tired in general, because a belt sander is tiring. I knew that I would be removing a lot of surface wood, and was trying to think outside the box (grinders/mods, polishers, multitools...). After looking at the options, just couldn't pass up this versatile inexpensive tool from a reliable manufacturer. A cordless version wasn't available when I made my purchase, which is good. Something like this when sanding with coarse grit will use a bit of power. With 40 grit, it is way easier to control than a belt sander. Haven't used fine grit yet, but with the adjustable speed dial (If you're wondering, the speed dial is round and built into the trigger - very convenient), the speed can go much lower and much faster than I'll ever need. If you need to go slower than this, then you might as well use a hand pad. If you need to go faster, then you might want to use a grinder. This tool fell into a sweet spot between price and functionality. Hindsight being 20-20, I feel very satisfied with this purchase. Also, looks like it would be easy to convert to 7" discs, if the need arises. The 5" discs cost about $1/each, which is much less expensive than crappy belts. The range of capability appears huge within this $80 tool. No more belt sanding for me, plus I'll be able to do a lot of fine work with it too. Prior to this purchase, I dreaded sanding. Now, I'm almost looking forward it. Even better, I'm not avoiding sanding. If you're reading this review - go buy it - you'll like it. I'm not affiliated with Dewalt. I've just been so impressed with some the Dewalt tool time saving ergonomics, that I use Dewalt as my standard. For cordless, I pretty much only use Dewalt (So that I don't have to buy more batteries). My first Dewalt tool was a marked down returned portable table saw, quite a few years ago; best tool purchase ever, by far. This Dewalt sander has potential to become my second favorite tool purchase, and for a lot less money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What the 5 is the velcro pad, id like to switch be it with a psa pad. Or, had anybody done this successfully with what pad?**
A: Huh?

**Q: Can this be used as a polisher?**
A: Yes, this sander can be used as a polisher. However, you must be very careful; this tool has tremendous power. Start by doing a polishing test on an item that you don't mind messing-up.

**Q: Is the extra grip detachable?**
A: Yes, the grip simply screws off the body. Also, the body has two threaded holes for attaching the grip: one for right-handed use and the other for left-handed.

**Q: What's the difference between this and the D26451?**
A: This one is not random orbit, like the D26451.  It also has a more powerful motor, but I find the D26456 to be the best sander.  Definitely buy one with a variable speed, like D26453K over the D26451.  I returned this model quickly and rely on D26456 for woodworking and home improvement where I need a nice finish.   This model definitely didn't come close to meeting my needs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE IT! Should have bought it years ago.
*by B***O on June 24, 2021*

Within 3 seconds of using it I loved it and wish I had purchased one years ago! Worked great for sanding-off varnish and stain form teak furniture quickly in seconds rather than minutes with a less powerful orbital sander. Other reviews stated it was too powerful and the vacuum hose for dust collection did not fit - was not my experience. My small diameter (1 & 1/16” inside diameter) hose fit with 2 wraps of electrical tape on the male connection to make a tight seal. The flexible dust collector shroud allows the sanding disc to get close to inside corners of work pieces. This is a heavy-duty orbital sander similar to the bulk removal ability of a belt sander. It is not for fine sanding above 100 grit and not for someone who plans to own only one all-purpose sander. 5” discs fit great (5” discs are always a little wider than any orbital sander’s pad) and lined-up with the 4 vacuum holes. It’s likely intended for professionals and serious amateur wood workers who need a more aggressive sander to add to their collection of specialty hand-held sanders.
