What Customers Are Saying
“The dust collection system work great and is easy to clean out.” – T. Wuelfing
“the sander was easy to control.” – Rebecca
The DeWalt D26435K has received extremely high praise from many online reviewers and consumers. Out of all of the features that this sander has, most people have been impressed with this sanders high power given its incredibly compact size. It seems to feature many of the things you would expect from a high-priced sander at a reasonable price.
The variable speeds make this sander seem more powerful than it is, allowing it to handle some of the tougher jobs that other sanders in its class wouldn’t be able to withstand. DeWalt has put as much as possible into such a compact design, and done so without sacrificing quality.
The one consistent complaint that was brought up about this sander is its on/off switch. After prolonged use, the on/off switch stiffens up and doesn’t turn completely on, or off, causing the sander to turn on after it has been placed into the off position. The one recommendation given to fix this issue was to unplug the sander after use. A second consistent complaint, though much more minor, is that the cord is a little on the short side. While this is more of a nuisance than a serious issue, it would still be nice to see a little more length in the cords.
Pros:
- Powerful
- Integrated dust port
- Three-year warranty
- Variable speeds
- Controlled Finishing System provides low start-up torque and constant speeds
- Low price
- Durable
Cons:
- On/Off switch wears out quickly
- A little uncomfortable in the hands
- Short cord
