Overview
The SKIL SR232301 is a corded electric sander built around a 1.2 amp motor spinning at 14500 RPM and weighing 2.6 pounds. Its light body and 120 volt cord suit users who need a compact sander for touch up work rather than heavy stock removal.
Skil lists this as a general sander rather than naming a specific pad or grit system, so buyers should confirm the sandpaper attachment type before ordering refills. A speed of 14500 RPM sits in the range typical of finishing and detail sanders, better suited to smoothing than fast stock leveling.
- 1.2 amp corded motor
- 14500 RPM sanding speed
- 120 volt power source
- 2.6 pound body weight
Who it's for
Homeowners and hobbyists doing furniture touch ups, paint prep or small refinishing jobs will find the low weight easy to control one handed. Contractors sanding large flat panels all day may want a heavier, higher powered unit instead.
Pros and cons
- Light 2.6 pound body eases one handed control
- Corded power avoids battery charging and runtime limits
- 14500 RPM suits detail and finish sanding
- 1.2 amp motor is modest for heavy stock removal
- Corded design limits reach and mobility
- Pad size and paper system not specified in listing
Performance notes
At 1.2 amps and 14500 RPM, the motor favors control over aggressive material removal. Running on a 120 volt cord gives consistent power without battery runtime limits, though the cord itself limits reach on larger jobs.
