Milwaukee M12 6" Sander Review | Great But NOT Worth It?

I purchased the brand new Milwaukee M12 6 Inch Random Orbit Sander, tested it on several woodworking and carpentry projects, and this is my honest review. While I love a lot about this sander — the design, the performance, and the convenience of the M12 platform — I can’t fully recommend it. The main issues? The price and the battery life. Without a corded version, the batteries drain quickly, which makes it tough for long sanding sessions. In this video, I cover: – Milwaukee M12 6" Sander performance breakdown – Pros and cons for woodworking & carpentry use – Why the battery life limits this tool – Whether or not it’s worth buying in 2025 ✅ Subscribe for more Milwaukee tool reviews, woodworking tips, and honest insights from a finish carpenter. #milwaukeetools #woodworking #toolreview
