The DEWALT DWMT70781L is a professional palm air sander designed to make surface prep and finishing work faster and more comfortable. The lightweight composite body and cushioned grip provide great control, while the 12,000 RPM free speed at 90 PSI gives you the power to remove material quickly. With a touch-control trigger and stick-on pad, this pneumatic sander is a solid addition to any shop.
This air sander works with 1/4-inch air fittings and a standard 90 PSI supply. The touch-control trigger lets you adjust speed by how hard you press, giving you precision for fine finishing or aggressive stock removal. The stick-on pad allows fast paper changes without clamps or adhesive spray. The cushioned housing protects the tool from impact and keeps your palm comfortable during extended sanding.
Pneumatic sanders run cooler than electric models and are lighter, which reduces hand fatigue. The DWMT70781L is well-suited for automotive bodywork, wood finishing, and metal prep. Since it's air-powered, it can run continuously without overheating.
Use hook-and-loop (stick-on) sanding discs in the appropriate grit. Start with a coarse grit for heavy material removal and work up to finer grits for a smooth finish. Keep the disc flat on the surface and avoid pressing too hard—the sander's weight is enough.
At Workbench World, we recommend pairing this sander with a moisture filter on your air line to prevent water or debris from reaching the motor.

Water in the air line is the number one killer of air tools. Install a moisture trap and regulator before the tool. A few drops of tool oil each day keeps the motor running smoothly and prolongs the tool's life.
For rough material removal, use 60-grit. For general sanding, 100-grit works best. For finishing, step up to 120 or 220 grit. The sander's touch-control trigger lets you ease off the throttle for fine work.
Air sanders are lighter, more compact, and don't overheat like electric palm sanders. They are also easier to repair if something breaks. If you have a compressor, this is a smart investment.
This sander uses 5-inch stick-on sanding discs with a hook-and-loop backing. You can also use 6-hole dust extraction discs if connected to a vacuum.
The sander comes with a stick-on pad installed, but the air inlet fitting and wrench are not included. You'll need a standard 1/4-inch NPT air connector.
It operates at 90 PSI and requires around 4 to 5 CFM for continuous use. A compressor with a 10-gallon tank or larger is recommended.
Yes, its lightweight design and variable speed trigger make it ideal for sanding body filler and primer before painting.
The pad is designed for stick-on discs, but you can buy a hook-and-loop interface pad to convert it if needed.

This palm sander is perfect for small jobs. It has plenty of power for its size and is easy to control. The composite body is light, so my hand doesn't tire. It came with a couple of paper discs, which is nice. Definitely a good addition to my shop.
Gets into tight spots.
I've been using air sanders for years and this one is top notch. Smooth operation, low vibration. Great price.
It sands well enough, but it's louder than I expected. Also, the pad doesn't seem to stick well to the paper. I ended up using adhesive spray. It gets the job done, but not my favorite.
I use it on wood crafts. It's easy to use and gets a smooth finish. The only thing is it uses a lot of air.
I bought this for auto body work. It's compact and fits in tight areas like door jambs. The 12,000 RPM gives a fine finish. The control is precise with the throttle. I hooked it up to my small compressor and it worked fine. Great tool.
