The Cordless Brushless Random Orbital Sander by Mekipow could be a high-leverage alternative for anyone already locked into the DeWalt 20V ecosystem. Utilizing a brushless motor, this tool claims to offer higher efficiency and a longer lifespan than traditional brushed models, providing 5 variable speed settings to handle everything from aggressive material removal to fine polishing. In this investigation, we deep-dive into the battery communication protocol to see if this sander actually works. We also stress-test the dust collection efficiency and the vibration dampening, evaluating if the ergonomic palm grip holds up during extended sanding sessions. The real "curiosity gap" is whether the 125mm (5-inch) hook-and-loop base maintains a flat sanding plane or if it suffers from the "orbital wobble" common in budget-tier tools. If you’re looking to expand your cordless kit without spending $150, the Mekipow Brushless Sander might just offer what you are looking for.
