Overview
This DX-A04 is a cordless sander running on a 16.8V battery, drawing 2 amps and spinning up to 3500 RPM. At 1.7 pounds and roughly 8 by 3 by 4 inches, it is sized for one-handed detail sanding rather than large flat panels.
The brand field on this listing reads 16.8V, the same figure as the battery voltage, which points to a generic or private label tool rather than a name brand line. The compact body and light weight suggest a detail or palm sander built for touch up work, trim and small project sanding rather than stripping large surfaces.
- 16.8V battery power
- 3500 RPM motor
- 1.7 pound weight
- Compact roughly 8 by 3 by 4 inch body
Who it's for
Hobbyists and DIYers doing small touch up sanding jobs, furniture detail work or trim, where a light cordless tool is easier to control than a full size orbital sander. Not built for stripping large floors or panels.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 1.7 pounds keeps the tool easy to hold for detail work
- Compact body fits into tight corners and trim
- Cordless 16.8V battery power
- Small size limits it for large flat surface sanding
- Brand name matches the voltage spec, suggesting a generic listing
Performance notes
At 3500 RPM and 2 amps, the motor is built for controlled detail work rather than fast stock removal, and the 1.7 pound weight keeps the tool easy to hold at odd angles for extended periods. Its compact roughly 8 by 3 by 4 inch body suits tight corners and trim.
