Amazon Prime Day is coming up on July 16, but you can start some of your shopping right now because select deals have started to pop up on the platform. Among them are highly sought-after power tools from DeWalt, including the bestselling miter saw, the popular oscillating multi-tool, and now the 20V orbital sander that's been purchased more than 4,000 times in the last month alone.
DeWalt's 20V Max Orbital Sander is on sale on Amazon for just $89 right now—a steep 50% discount on its normal price tag of $179. This small but mighty sander has over 10,000 five-star ratings and is currently the No. 1 bestselling model in its category. This offer applies to the bare tool only (no battery included), but the bundled version, which includes a 3Ah battery and charger, is also on sale right now.
This DeWalt palm sander is built to high standards and can handle just about any sanding job. It’s constructed with an efficient brushless motor for maximum power and runtime, and it’s compatible with any DeWalt 20V Max battery pack (sold separately), so if you own other DeWalt 20V cordless tools, you can swap batteries without issue. A unique feature of this sander is its variable speed control dial: It allows you to toggle the machine’s motion from 8,000 to 12,000 oscillations per minute, which is ideal for getting a smooth finish on any work surface. The sander’s textured rubber grip helps you get a firm, comfortable hold that won’t rapidly fatigue your hands, and it utilizes hook-and-loop sanding pads, so swapping in fresh sandpaper is super easy. Conveniently, this sander comes with a dust collection bag to cut down on airborne debris, so you won’t cover your entire work area in flakes.
Reviewers have been heaping praise on this sander, with many highlighting its solid build quality, powerful motor, and the excellent results it delivers. “It is built well and has survived several drops from about ten feet without issue,” one shopper said. “Also, it leaves a good finish with none of the score marks some other sanders give you.” Another reviewer agreed, saying, “It's powerful, easy to use, and delivers a flawless finish every time.”

Other reviewers have commented on its ergonomics. "Best little sander I've ever had," a shopper said. "This tool is simply a joy to use…lighter and a lot easier to maneuver than the old rectangular-shaped sanders with handles. This one is easily guided by the palm of your hand and it does a superb job." Another shopper agreed, saying it simply, "feels good in hand.”
Whether you’re a casual DIYer or a carpenter with years of experience under your tool belt, this bestselling DeWalt sander is a worthy addition to your power tool lineup. The price on this one has been known to fluctuate, so don’t miss your chance to snag it for under $90.
