This small edger has a 5 pad and the same variable speed motor used on our popular Radiator edgers. It has a dust pipe to connect to your vacuum for dust pickup. This edger is a must for stairs. The edger fully fits on a standard stair tread and makes edger a stair easy. The smaller 5 pad sands further into the corners which means less scraping. The higher speed of the 5 pad gives similar aggressiveness of a standard edger. The variable speed allows you to fine tune you sanding technique.
