Skil vs. Black and Decker

I bought a Black and Decker sander for a job I need to do on my exterior wood windows. I will be sanding wood window frames and parts of my house vertically. I need to be able to squeeze in in some places and it needs to be easy, I'm on the stairs now, I don't need it heavy. Black and Decker's grinder is lighter and can be held in two ways. but I prefer the Skil grinder which I bought when the top of the Black and Decker grinder broke like many of the other people mentioned. The Skil grinder has attachments that you can switch to get to the right places and it seems to grind the surface better, it's easier to use. I've used both types of grinders for several hours so I can compare. I wish the Skil grinder handle was higher off the base and more ergonomic. Difficult to catch or change grip. I can't hold it in one position for hours, my hands have to change position. It would also be great if when removing the dust bag and using the grinder without it, the part where the dust bag attaches was smaller. Hard to get sandpaper for Skil sharpening attachments which is a shame. If you're making a good product, why piss off people by making outrageously expensive sandpaper difficult to use? Let's be happy with them and enjoy them!

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
