Overview

The SKIL SR211601 is a corded electric sander running on 120 volts with a 2.8-amp motor that spins at 13,000 RPM. At 3.44 pounds, it is light enough for handheld sanding sessions on wood surfaces.

The 2.8-amp draw and 13,000 RPM speed place it among mid-power corded sanders, built for surface prep and finishing rather than heavy material removal. Its corded design means consistent power without battery limits.
