For affordable quality and dependable performance, tools manufactured by this company are backed by many years of satisfied customers and loyal consumer reviews.
Skil Belt Sanders
Skil makes two models of belt sander, a portable, conventional style belt sander, and a disc/belt sander tabletop combination. The table top model can be tilted from 45 to 90 degrees, giving you a lot of control over the angle of the material. Both models feature special dust capture technology to reduce clogging and marring from waste material. For large jobs, the portable belt sander can be taken to the site rather than bringing the work back to the shop and the easy-change belt system makes it a simple tool for use in the field.
Skil Palm Sanders
There are many different models of Skil palm sanders. Most use a 1/4 sheet design, but come with a range of ergonomic designs and special operational features.

It is small and ergonomically shaped to fit your hand better, and comes with attachments to handle almost any detail or finishing requirement you might have. For portable finishing sander equipment, the Octo is one of the most popular items made.
