Why he'll love it:

If you've ever tried to sand anything without a power sander, you know how absolutely tedious it is. Not only is it quickly tiring, but it's hard to be very consistent. A power sander is a much better choice and is essential for any Dad who sands regularly. Due to their small size, random orbit palm sanders are a great finishing tools that are easy to accurately control. The Bosch 1295DVSK is one of the nicest palm sanders currently available. It's variable-speed 2.2amp motor delivers up to 11,000 powerful vibrations per minute, making sanding jobs quick and painless. For a healthier work experience, the 1295DVSK also features an integrated micro air filter that catches even the tiniest dust particles before they become airborne and inhaled. Overall, it's a great multi-purpose sander/polisher that your Dad will be glad to receive.
