Used Sanders Prices
This guide covers handheld sanders only (drum, spindle and drywall sanders are excluded). Used sander prices split sharply by type: random orbit sanders are cheap and plentiful, while belt sanders and dust-extraction-ready models from premium brands hold more value. Cordless sanders sold bare (no battery) should be priced well below kits.

Join the DealBench betaHow to tell if a used sander is a good deal
- Run it and feel for vibration — a worn pad bearing makes a random orbit sander shake and leave swirl marks.
- Check the hook-and-loop pad; if discs won't stick, budget for a replacement pad.
- On belt sanders, confirm the belt tracks centered and the platen isn't grooved.
- Make sure the dust port and bag or canister adapter are included.
- For cordless models, ask whether a battery and charger are included before comparing prices.
