More About This Product: - 7000-13, 000 OPM- Variable Speed Dial- X-Flow Dust Collection- Vibration Control- Easy to change attachments and sanding sheets Review: Amazing!!! Will buy 3 more! - I'm finishing a 4 bedroom house. I have 3 kids who are helping me sand floors and steps. I had a cordless Dewalt sander and bought this sander as an extra back up. Everyone was fighting over the SKIL sander. The power was better than the other brand. We didn't have to worry about the battery dying in the middle of the project. I absolutely love the sturdy plastic dust collector. It actually works and you can bump it, it's not flimsy, and it actually collects the dust without getting filthy. This is a affordable powerhouse that gets the job done! Love it! Review: It’s all the sander I need!! - This is easily the best tool I’ve bought in a long time!! I have to sand all the walls on the main floor of my house and it’s working like a total champ!! Easy on your budget at $61, easy to use, making my diy job much more manageable! ## Features - Includes full manufacturer warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | AC Adapter Current | 2.8 Amps | | ASIN | B07FKBDNNQ | | Amperage Capacity | 2.8 Amps | | Brand | Skil | | Brand Name | Skil | | Country of Publication | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7,181 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00039725996619, 20039725997474 | | Grit Number | 120 | | Grit Type | Fine | | Item Weight | 3.44 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Skil | | Manufacturer Part Number | SR211601 | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 13000 RPM | | Model Number | SR211601 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 039725996619 039725997470 | | Voltage | 120 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Skil - **Grit Type:** Fine - **Voltage:** 120 Volts - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **AC Adapter Current:** 2.8 Amps - **Grit Number:** 120 - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 13000 RPM - **Item Weight:** 1.56 kg - **UPC:** 039725996619 039725997470 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00039725996619, 20039725997474 ## Images ![Skil SR211601 2.8 Amp 5 in.

Will warranty cover replacement?** A: Hello, For further assistance with your issue please contact our Customer Support line at 1-877-754-5999. Thank you for your inquiry! **Q: Can i use it for a masonry wall** A: Hi, Oscar! Good question. The SKIL 2.8 Amp 5 IN. Random Orbital Sander is ideal for sanding applications on wood, metal and plastic. Additionally, some applications such as plastics, glass, or stone, require silicon carbide discs, which have a very sharp cutting edge. For additional information, please visit page 13 in your owner's manual. Thank you for your inquiry! **Q: Dust collector is almost impossible to put on. Is it supposed to be pushed all the way down?** A: Hi, Mikisho! Great question. The dust canister included with your SKIL SR211601 random orbital sander does need to be pushed onto the sander until it is locked in place. For additional information, we advise visiting page 12 in your owner's manual. Thank you for your inquiry! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!!!
