I've been using the multitool sanding pad for spot sanding and then just hitting it with a high grit sanding block to finish. My head tells me that's the right thing, my heart tells me i need an M12 random orbital detail sander more than anything in the world right now.

I was wondering why it has almost 3x the number of reviews vs. the other M12 orbital detail sander - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwa.../320268509
The reviews are for the 2.5 Ah Battery lol. Sneaky HD

You need multiple sanders if you're really doing woodworking. I have the 6" Bosch corded, 5" Milwaukee, I'm debating if getting this or the angle type to sand the corner. Seem like I need both, but my beginner woodworking hobby first justify getting both.

I did too but I honestly use it way less than I thought I would. Mainly cause the dust collection was pretty bad the few times I did use it when refinishing a walnut nightstand.

I don't need this junk. I can achieve all with just a block or abrasive pad, wrapped in sandpaper. This is more of a tool for people that do this all the time.

Product Description:	Designed for the professional carpenter, remodeler, or general contractor; the MILWAUKEE M12 FUEL 3" Random Orbital Detail Sander combines the power and efficiency to sand the toughest materials on site while the compact pad size allows for delicate, controlled sanding during the installation of trim, railings or other refinishing applications. This sander delivers precise removal for spot sanding, more control and maneuverability, and over 80% dust collection. Ergonomically engineered the sander has greater access to hard-to-reach areas and active dust extraction for minimal dust build-up with the versatility to utilize the included bag or universal hose adapter. The sander features a random orbital sanding motion with a 3/32" orbit diameter to deliver a clean, consistent stain-grade surface finish, a variable speed trigger with a lock-on button, and four-speed settings from 10K - 4K for control across a wide variety of materials. The lightweight design at 2 lbs provides unmatched maneuverability and reduced fatigue when used across multiple orientations. The adjustable On/Off LED light bar illuminates 270 degrees for maximum visibility of the work area. The optional sponge pad allows the abrasive to contour to the work surface when working with complex trim profiles, while the pad saver protects against heat buildup to extend the life of the backing pad. The 3" Random Orbital Sander is backed by Milwaukee's industry-leading 5-year limited power tool warranty.
