4.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024

I use a lot on Milwaukee 18v tools and they are great. I have some 12v that I use for lighter stuff. I bought this hoping it would work ok for smaller quick jobs. This works great, and the battery lasted quite sometime. This is not a tool you will use to completely sand a full project, but for finish sanding in tight spots it’s great. Just remember this has a small diameter rotation. So you wouldn’t want to do a big job. My only complaint is no way to use dust collection on it.

Great tool. I use it for an application outside of its suggested use and thought I was going to be disappointed but am truly impressed.... I use the tool to sand Casted Aluminum car parts so I can remove the casting pits to get a good surface finish (mirror or Powdercoat). Sanding Casted Aluminum is tough and is a lot of labor, but this tool made it easy to get in tight spaces and get a flat finish on the surface being sanded. ** Advice is buy a roll of Hook and Loop 2-3/4" wide continuous roll sandpaper and cut a piece to length, then stick it to pad then trim sandpaper to shape. Very easy to do. **

3.0 out of 5 stars A couple of issues.
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
Verified Purchase
I'm writing this before I've actually used it on a project, although I have tested it briefly.

My first issue is that it won't work properly with my older small batteries, it flashes all 4 LED's and won't run more then a second.
It does work normally with my newer large batteries, both OEM and Aftermarket.
I brought two of my small batteries to a local Ace store that has the sander, and it also wouldn't work with the old batteries.

My 2nd issue is set when I called Milwaukee tech support to ask about this, they didn't indicate a known problem, BUT when the matter of sending it to them for a warranty check (5 years, with free shipping), that became a problem as there's no Milwaukee warranty for their products bought on Amazon, an unauthorized seller.
SO, if you want the Milwaukee 5 year warranty on this tool (and it varies on other products), think about it.
The $10 difference in price from Amazon to Ace Hardware is for 5 years.
