I picked this up recently. Dspiae sander. Great for tight places. Comes with extra pads for all the different head shapes. You won’t be sanding hulls with it but it does take down hardwood for fine detail sanding. Oh yea, new cutting mats to replace the 20 year old ones I had !!

looks like a nice tool, i assume it vibrates, that would be more controllable in tight places.

i have an old oral b electric tooth brush i converted to a mini sander but its sort of an orbital rather than vibrates.

these small sanders do come in very handy.

It reciprocates in the out but very fast.
 
Tony, please find a copy of the product specifications…..I hope this helps with any questions. I have yet to use the tool in anger!

I've been using the 3-speed, DSPIAE ("Illusive Shadows") reciprocating sander for about a year and it's ideal for tight spots that otherwise might be very time-consuming to access. For 3D resin printing it works great for removing layer lines when the broad square head is attached with the 3M 180 grit adhesive-backed sandpaper it used. The rounded head works well to smooth out tight corners too.

The unit charges in <30 minutes and lasts up to 45 minutes. It includes a pressure-activated stall feature if it's pressed too hard against the surface. I've used it on hardwood bases to smooth out routing imperfections as well.

Full Disclosure: My first unit died after a month, but had worked so well, I immediately bought another, which has worked fine.

Bought one-off Fleabay that has a transformer for plug in power. Works great so far, but I don’t use it a lot, so…

The product I mentioned is cordless and uses a USB cable to rapidly charge.
I use mine constantly, so it's perfect for my needs. Your milage may vary.
 
just ordered this one off amazon. much cheaper, runs on AA batteries. If you have or know someone with 3D resin printer you can make saw blade attachment
blade attacment - thigiverse

What I’d like to see is someone manufacture a right hand drill for a manual pin vice hand drill. Dremel sell a right hand drill, but it’s way to large to get into really tight spaces.
 
The sander sleepy fish bought is a P.O.S. - no power, very brittle attachment (s).
The Dspia is an in line sander that is superior for tight spaces - must let the abrasive chosen do the work!
The 12v DC plug in types (Proxxon) are wonderful also, they sand side to side and are able to be used more aggressively.
All the tools have their place and all are useful!
I have all three types.
Just my viewpoint.
 
Balanced reviews by someone who has experience with multiple products are always my favorites! Thanks for sharing.
