Editorial Reviews:

This Black & Decker 1/3 sheet sanders uses a large base to sands flush on three sides to vertical surfaces on three sides for added convenience. The 2-handed design is for you to comfortable use the sander while keeping it in control. Easy to use paper clamp attachment for convenience when attached sandpaper. The dust sealed switch protects internal parts and extends the life of the tool while the built-in dust collection helps you maintain a cleaner work area.


User Comments about the Black & Decker 7558 1/3-Sheet Finishing Sander

I was delighted to find a model similar to the one I had 20 years ago.



I installed a jumper on the switch & it is still working. product from China. Another quality. I have used a Model#FS350 Type1 (made in the U.K).(Blue case) for a number of years and the only problem experienced is a bad on/off switch. I purchased a Model#7448 (Black case - Made in China) to have as a backup and it broke down on the third time I used it. Both units appear identical (inside & out) except for color and point of manufacture. The motor runs but the pad doesn't vibrate.



Second house, much better, lots of woodwork and moldings, and a built-in wet bar all done in cherry.I built a 20 foot long work bench and LOTS of cabinets for the garage/workshop. I bought mine in '84, and have been diligently beating it to death ever since. Its not really a bearing at all, just a weird metal donut that started to melt the inside of the plastic case. What a piece of junk, huh.Yes, I would love to have kept more skin on my knuckles, but I do change the paper often, and those teeny little levers are a joke.


Their belt sanders are about as sturdy as a styrofoam cup. I've got other sanders, but this one has the right weight, the right size and (until last week), the right level of invincibility I need from powertools. You've got me a little worried.I've had good and bad experiences with B&D. I came to the website looking to see if B&D still made this puppy. Used the sander on everything. A couple of kid's furniture projects later, bookselves, desks and dollhouses - the thing started making a very loud rattling noise.Its the same top bearing issue mentioned before. Had one two months and it crapped out.


I think I'll risk it and go drop another 25 bucks - the same price it was in '84. My first house - total gut job. And after only 20 years. I'll let you know in 2025 if it was worth it. Mine never let go of the paper, though.


I wonder if there's something wrong with the clamps on a batch of these. Just a tiny bit of sideways motion and yep, paper starts to slide right off.Sounds like they've had this model forever - maybe it's time the old B&D spent some money on R&D and upgraded their product a little bit.Looks like it goes on the garage sale pile and it's time to try out another. We bought this a couple years ago and never really used it much. Just started trying to use it in earnest this evening and I will add my "paper falls off" woes to the group.I tried about ten times with a number of different types of sandpaper - it seems that the clamps tighten down when you pull up on the lever, but in order to lock the levers into place they "relax" just a little bit and the paper doesn't hold in place well.



I just placed an order for a new one for $25.00 it's not worth fixing it, or maybe if I make the time to find the parts. I sanded everything from cars to sheetrock. I've had this sander for more than 15 years. I can't count the times I've dropped it, and it still worked. All around sander, light weight no frills. The felt pad has worn completely off to the base.
