DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drywall Sander, Tool Only (DCE800B)

Item came on schedule, works as intended and at a great price.

Should have bought this years ago. Not cheap, but does an excellent job of both sanding and controlling dust. If you do much drywall work just get it.

This tool made short work of some uneven ceiling repair work I had to do. What would have taken an hours worth of sanding, dusting, feeling out to ensure it’s feathered took all of 5 minutes. Had it hooked up to the shop vac and there was very little dust. Battery usage was not an issue for me since it was not a whole room. I’m As I go thru remodeling the rest of the house I already see the hours this will save me in work and clean up. Light weight and easy to use. Highly recommend for remodelers and for handy men doing repair work where there’s uneven taper in the board from previous botched repair work.

Considered one for years, shouldn't have questioned it for more than a day. Hand sanded 3500 sqft over a few years, got a deal on one of these and said screw it let's see how it does, in 1 day I sanded 2800 SQft in a few hours. Used the DeWalt 150 grit and another cheaper brands 150 grit, both hook and loop mesh. Spent the money to upgrade the disc (for the extra 30$ they should just make it a price increase and have included it) to the one with lots of holes and a hard backing, it improved dust collection tremendously and it honestly wasn't bad with the soft padded disc in the first place. It is heavy (and I am an ox) and doesn't reduce it's weight with it's suction. It's not balanced enough to be fully comfortable but it is very doable for those willing to work with not against it. With a standard shop vac and the speed set low 1-3 range it leveled surfaces quickly. 5ah batteries lasted about 20-25 minutes (enough to do a 12x15 room, walls and ceilings). Don't have one of the newer variable speed vacuums that is Bluetooth or remote to so I won't comment on how much those improve the product.

It's heavy. It worked great and so convenient with the vacuum attachment. I found that I did not need to order the sandpaper with the holes in it like the manual sander but I used them anyway as I had them in stock . The vacuum attachment needed a piece to make it fit on my shop vac. It arrived pretty fast so that was a plus, as I was not looking forward to the cleanup with the manual sander.

Works well

If you are sanding skim coats are doing a lot of standard drywall finishing, this tool is well worth the premium. That is assuming that you have at least a couple DeWalt batteries. The battery life is fine. People who complain about the battery life have unreasonable expectations with how much battery life you should be able to get. The machine is powerful to the point to where I almost always run this on Speed 1. What you will need is a lot of sanding discs. That is just the nature of the beast though. This machine would easily be five stars if they would have decided to actually implement some sort of dust collection. They didn't drill any holes for the dust to be sucked in to the inlet in the middle of the power head. If you take off the sanding disc, the sanding pad, and then the little abrasive disc, you'll see that there is no way for the dust to actually be drawn into the machine and then into the vacuum. Not sure what the ding dongs at DeWalt were thinking, but it is very easy to drill a couple holes so that they'll line up with the eight holes on your standard hook and loop disc.

Works amazing, saves time and pretty much no dust, even on ceilings. One of my best tool purchases ever. Also great for smoothing out old lumpy paint jobs before a fresh coat, wish i had it sooner.

Just another amazing tool to add to my army of 20V MAX Monsters. I operate my contracting company specifically on this platform and have yet to be let down yet. The only corded tool I still have is the dust collector hooked to this sander and it is an unstoppable combo.

It does speed things up goes threw batteries a bit slower than I expected. One complaint is it would b nice if it could extend one more foot for 9ft ceiling it does reach at its current lenght but a little more to work with would b nice get ready to lightly sand everything out when. Your doin your light check will leave swirls all over the place whem getting used to it than you'll leave half as many once get the hamg of it. all around a good tool that does the job as expected

Économie de temps incroyable ! Fonctionne super bien et pas trop lourd. Cest un de mes meilleurs achats! Seul petit "hick" l'adaptateur pour la balayeuse n'est pas inclus

Love it, wish it was lighter but they’re all heavy.
