DeWalt makes corded and cordless detail sanders with triangular pads for reaching corners and tight spots that random orbit sanders can't touch. The DCW200B is the cordless option on 20V MAX.
DeWalt 20V MAX Platform
The DCW200B uses 20V MAX batteries. A 2.0Ah pack is plenty since detail sanding is light-duty work. The DWE6411 is corded (1.8A).

Frequently Asked Questions
Detail sander or quarter-sheet sander?
Different tools for different jobs. A detail sander has a pointed triangular pad for corners, window frames, and spindles. A quarter-sheet sander is flat and better for small flat surfaces. The detail sander is more versatile.
Do I need a detail sander if I have a random orbit?
If you ever sand furniture with carved details, window trim, or cabinet corners, yes. A random orbit sander can't reach inside a 90-degree corner. The triangular tip on a detail sander fits right in.
