The Perfect Backup Sander that Punches Above its Weight
, by ebuild supplies, 2 min reading time
Every plasterer knows the value of a reliable, lightweight sander that can handle the tough spots without dragging the job on. Enter the Wallpro Extenda Sander™ (PS-600) — a smart, compact solution designed to deliver big results, especially on those smaller, fiddlier jobs.
Putting the Extenda Sander to the Test
From the moment you pick it up, the Extenda Sander feels built for purpose. Harley at Jordan Interiors recently put it through its paces on a small job, and here's what stood out for him:
"It’s perfect for the little jobs like this — I didn’t even need to bring out my bigger one."
"Nice and light, easy to extend. The dust-sucking on it? Actually better than my bigger one."
One of the key features is just how well this compact unit transitions between wall and ceiling sanding — an area where even premium sanders can struggle. The flexible head movement combined with a comfortable rubber grip allows for seamless handling, making overhead work far less taxing.
Pro Tip: Pair It with Super Ceramic Mesh Pads
If you're chasing a pro finish, pair the Extenda Sander with Wallboard Tools Super Ceramic Mesh Pads. Harley at Jordan Interiors shares:
"These ceramic pads are my favourite — they last forever. They’re a little sharp to begin with, so I just knock the edge off with a sanding block first."
The hook and loop backing on the sander ensures the pads stay firmly in place, creating a stable platform for a clean, even finish every time.
Final Verdict
If you’re after a compact, extendable sander that delivers high performance without the weight or cost of a larger unit, the Wallpro Extenda Sander™ PS-600 is a solid choice. While it’s built as an entry-level model, its functional design, powerful dust extraction, and overall performance make it a worthy addition to any tradie’s toolkit — especially for smaller jobs or as a backup unit.
Design That Works with You
With an extendable reach from 1200mm to 1650mm, this tool hits those high spots without the need for a ladder or stilts. It’s powered by a robust 600W motor and features variable speed control from 600–1500 RPM, giving you the flexibility to match speed with the surface you're working on.
Weight-wise, at just 3.95kg, it’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, and cleverly engineered with variable suction control to reduce the weight at the head — meaning less fatigue, especially when working overhead for extended periods.
And storage? It folds away effortlessly into its carry case, making it a great backup sander to keep on hand for quick tasks.
"It folds away so easily. Definitely gonna use it on small jobs."
"It’s not going to do the whole house every day, but it’s a solid backup."
