Choosing the right power tools to purchase is never easy. When you’ve found a brand name you can trust, that’s a great start. For those on the market for sanders, Mirka is one such brand name. They have earned a reputation for themselves as manufacturers of the finest sanders on the market. But which Mirka sander should you buy? Today, we’ll give you a brief overview of three of their most popular sanders so you can decide which one is right for you.
Which Mirka sander is right for you?
The Mirka LEROS
Before deciding which Mirka sander you should buy, ask yourself the following question: what will I be using it for? If you primarily intend to sand drywall, then the Mirka LEROS might be right for you. To this end, make sure you’re using a grit grade greater than 100.
The LEROS provides lightweight perfection for professionally sanding walls and ceilings. The head has 180 degrees of flexibility, making it perfect for sanding corners. What makes the LEROS so perfect for walls and ceilings is its light weight combined with ergonomic design. These features make it so you can work for extended periods without too much fatigue.
The Mirka DEROS
If you’ll be sanding far more than just walls and ceilings, the Mirka DEROS may be a better all-around fit. The best word to characterize this sander is probably ‘compact.’ But don’t be fooled by its small size; it is exceptionally easy to use and wildly efficient.
The Mirka DEROS is still exceptionally lightweight, coming in at 1 kilogram. You should have no problem handling it with only one hand owing to its light weight, but the body of the tool easily lends itself to operation with two hands. This makes it great for heavier-duty functions such as stripping paint. Combine this with the Mirka DEROS’ great portability—it requires no external power supply—and it’s easy to see what makes this sander such a great option for a majority of professionals and hobbyists.
The Mirka AOS-B
Are you in the market for a high-end cordless sander? If so, Mirka has the product for you. The Mirka AOS-B line of cordless sanders are small, lightweight, portable, and powerful. These products lend themselves more to spot repairs than to more everyday applications.
To use the example of the Mirka AOS-B 130NV, its battery can last for as long as 16 hours of use. It charges in a fraction of that amount of time, in less than one hour. And it comes with two batteries, which means you should never have to worry about its battery life giving out on you.
Whatever your needs and preferences for a sander might be, Mirka has the product for you. If you still can’t decide which Mirka sander to buy, contact us.
