There can’t be too many woodworkers who claim to genuinely enjoy sanding but it’s an integral part of the process.
Large belt sanders are great for smoothing out rough, large surfaces and random orbit sanders work for rough surfaces or finishing work. In today’s BLACK + DECKER KA161BC Mouse review, we’ll be looking at much smaller detail sanders, also know as orbital finishing sanders.
We’ll give you a swift snapshot of the key advantages and drawbacks of the BLACK+DECKER before exploring this nifty tool in a bit more depth…
Pros
Innovative base resembling a tear drop helps boosts your control and maneuverability when sanding in tight corners
Base rotates meaning you can extract more life from your sandpaper and eliminate wastage
Incredible value for money offering solid brand heritage at an affordable pricepoint
Work on a range of materials including wood, plastic, glass and metal making this a highly versatile finishing sander
Fit your sandpaper using Velcro so sidestep cumbersome clips completely
Remove and replace tips with ease according to the application
Compact and ultra-light so work for extended periods without fatigue setting in
Simple to apply consistent pressure, essential for first-class finishing results
Generous range of accessories thrown in
Dust extraction adapter included so there’s no excuse not to keep your workshop debris-free
Cons
Generates a fair amount of noise so think about where you’ll be working and whether or not this will be problematic
If you’re looking for an all-purpose sander for a broad spread of applications, the BLACK + DECKER KA161BC is not the right tool for the job. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a specialist piece of kit designed for paint and rust removal, polishing or any light detail sanding, this sander makes a smart choice. You can use it comfortably on a range of materials including wood, plastic, metal or glass.
Weighing in at a fraction under 2 pounds, this neat little sander is perfect to use one-handed without feeling strained even if you’re working for lengthy spells. This sander is not only lightweight but it’s also extremely compact. You’ll be able to happily wield it in one hand and the shape of the teardrop base means you can get into tight spots where other sanders struggle to reach.
Thinking about the base, it rotates so you can make full use of the whole sheet of sandpaper. Just spin the plate around and the unused portion comes into view giving you maximum bang for your buck.
Changing your sandpaper is a cakewalk thanks to the Velcro attachment system. This is particularly useful since you’ll be swapping out the paper frequently when you’re beavering away so you don’t want to waste time and effort with a laborious changing procedure involving cumbersome clips.
If you work on intricate projects for long spells, you’ll appreciate how keeping a trigger depressed can leave you with clawed fingers and it also detracts from your focus on the job at hand. The neat little rocker switch allows for continual operation and lets you use both hands without being compromised. The rubber grip keeps things comfortable while the power cord stretches to almost 10 feet. This should give you ample freedom of movement.
Mouse sanders usually allow you to change the tips depending on what kind of finishing work you’re doing and the BLACK + DECKER is no exception. You’ll even get a free tip thrown in. You’ll also enjoy a few more goodies with 2 foam pads, 10 assorted sanding sheets, a bag and a dust extraction adapter included. At this price point, you really can’t ask for much more than that.
Final Words
If you’re on the trail of a versatile and super-light finishing sander that’s a cinch to use even if you’ve never sanded before, think long and hard about the BLACK + DECKER KA161BC mouse detail sander.
All you need to do is plug it in and you’ll be up and running straight out the box. This is a supremely user-friendly piece of kit suitable for beginners and advanced woodworkers alike.
Not only is the KA161BC extremely easy on the pocket costing less than a round of drinks, the wealth of accessories mean you’d be hard pressed to find a better value package if you’re looking for a dependable detail sander for precise finishing work.
