What's a pad sander?

An orbital sander is better than a hand sander, simply put.

Orbital sanders are generally larger and more powerful than other power tools. They typically use sandpaper between 80-160grit. They are delicate flowers compared to other power Sanders. They are larger than the palm-sander but they are still quite brutish. Orbital sanders can be a bit more expensive than palm.

What is the purpose of an orbital sander? The random orbital sander vibrates in small circles and is useful for ultra-smooth polishing. It can be used on plastic, wood, or for metal work. The random orbital sander is useful for many purposes, including painting and restoring the transparency of headlights.

Also, know the difference between an orbital and finishing sander.

The sander uses a motor that moves the sanding pad in a back-and-forth-circular motion at high speed. The sheets sander pads and the sandpaper they contain are square so that the tool can reach corners. An Orbital sander's motor moves the pad in a similar motion to a sheet sander. However, arandoma is what the motor does.

Can I use my drill to sand?
