Do you need to work on walls and ceilings to remove plaster, drywall, etc.? You absolutely need to buy a giraffe sander! On ManoMano, you will find your drywall wall sander at the best price among brands such as FARTOOLS or VARO.
A giraffe sander, also called a wall sander or telescopic sander, is actually an eccentric sander that also has a telescopic handle allowing it to carry out high-up work on large surfaces such as walls or ceilings. It is thus perfect for removing plaster, drywall tape, wallpaper residue...
How to choose your giraffe sander?
As with an eccentric sander, you will have to pay attention to the power of the machine. As eccentric sanders are corded electrical devices, the power will be expressed in watts. For this type of sander, it will generally be from 300 W to 800 W and the disc rotation speed will be between 1000 and 2500 rpm. The more powerful the motor is, the more efficient the device tends to be. This is therefore an important parameter not to neglect!
In terms of sanding diameter, you will most often have to choose between a disc of 150 or a disc of 225 mm in diameter to which you will attach an abrasive disc that fixes in place with velcro. Sometimes, giraffe sanders are sold with abrasive discs but in some cases, you will need to buy them separately to equip yourself. If this is the case, pay attention to the grit of these. As a reminder, the lower it is, the more material it will remove.
Also, pay attention to the length of the arm of your giraffe sander, it can range from 1.6 to 4 m and is most of the time extendable (telescopic sander). Depending on the height at which you wish to work, this parameter can therefore be very important!
Then, some giraffe sanders come with options like a speed variator, which allows better adaptation to the materials worked, additional extensions, interchangeable plates...
Know also that wall sanders have a rotating head and that almost all models come with a hose of good length designed to be connected to a vacuum cleaner, thus easily evacuating dust.
There you go, you should now be well informed about giraffe sanders and be in a position to choose the device that suits you. For any questions, do not hesitate to call on our tool expert!
