Ridgid doesn't make a dedicated detail sander. Their 18V Octane multi-tool (R86240B) accepts triangular sanding pads and oscillating sanding attachments, which covers most detail sanding needs if you already own the tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a multi-tool replace a detail sander?
For occasional corner sanding, yes. A multi-tool oscillates in an arc, so it removes material slightly differently than a dedicated detail sander. If you're sanding corners on one piece of furniture, the multi-tool is fine. If you're sanding all the window trim in a house, buy a dedicated detail sander.
Why doesn't Ridgid make a dedicated detail sander?
The market is small. Most pros use a multi-tool for detail sanding and reserve dedicated sanders for flat-surface work. Ridgid's multi-tool covers both needs in one tool.
