PSA: I compared a $20 orbital sander to my old palm sander for a deck refinish

The orbital left no swirl marks and cut my sanding time in half, which was a huge relief. Anyone have a favorite brand for outdoor wood projects?

You cut your sanding time in half with a twenty dollar tool?

Did you check the dust collection on that orbital sander though? A lot of those cheap ones clog up fast and leave a mess on the boards.

Just wait until you try a random orbit sander.
