Ryobi ONE+ (18V) Platform

Works with any ONE+ battery. A 1.5Ah pack is more than enough for detail sanding. The tool draws very little power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a $29 detail sander any good?

For occasional use, it works. The vibration is higher than DeWalt or Makita models, and the single speed limits your control. For touching up corners on a weekend project, $29 gets the job done.

What sandpaper does the PSD101B use?

Triangular hook-and-loop pads. Ryobi sells their own, but most brands make compatible pads. Buy in bulk, you'll go through them faster than with a random orbit sander because the triangular tip wears down unevenly.

Specs come from manufacturer data sheets. Prices were verified at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Amazon in April 2026. We don't run a testing lab. All claims trace back to publicly available data. Full methodology.
