An electric sander will smooth and finish surfaces in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it manually. At Toolstation, we know time is money – and our extensive range of big brand sanders will save you both.

Why spend ages scrubbing away with sandpaper when an electric hand sander can do all the hard work for you? Powerful motors combine with efficient sanding motions to deliver smooth and consistent finishes – these specialist power tools are a real time-saver.

Electric Sanders

An electric wood sander is such a versatile tool to own. Use it to prepare surfaces for painting, or for removing old paint or varnish. Strip or prep floors, smooth edges or sand down filler – it’s a real all-rounder.

For many projects, a random orbital sander is often the preferred choice due to its combination of power and performance. It rotates in random ellipse patterns for a smoother finish, and none of the swirl patterns you sometimes get with circular motions.

If you’re working with larger flat surface areas, a belt sander is a great option for material removal. These heavy-duty sanders perform especially well when working against the grain.

Palm Sanders

While orbital models operate with round pads, a palm sander is fitted with a square sheet – it uses a similar circular motion, but often has a smaller motor and a more compact design for working in tighter spaces or closed corners. Palm sanders can also be referred to as 1/4 sheet sanders.

If there’s no power supply nearby, choose a cordless sander for complete freedom to work anywhere. At Toolstation, we stock an extensive sander collection features both corded and cordless options from the trade’s favourite brands like DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita and many more.
