Smallest electric DA sander?

[Bennylava]

I'm looking for the smallest electric DA sander. There's plenty of air powered ones to choose from but I'd really like it to be electric if possible. I know you can sand with a dremel, but I'm partial to the foam pad and the dual action. Somehow this keeps me from accidentally applying too much pressure and botching the job.

I found this thing, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I don't need the belt sander part. So I'd like to get you guys' recommendation on this. Thanks!

Have you considered an oscillating multitool with a sanding head?

What do you mean by smallest? Is there a specific pad size you want? For most jobs, 5" is a normal pad. My DAs have 6" pads. Being pneumatic, they're smaller than typical electric models, but small bodied electric models with normal 5" and 6" pads do exist.

If you ever used a da sander you would never recommend a multitool for sanding, they are rubbish at it.
Mirka makes the smallest standard sized electric units I have personally seen, standard 6" discs.

Rupes makes some small sanders. Festool pricing though.

I believe this may be a better fit if you are looking for small sanding pad specifically.

I should've mentioned that in my OP. I'm looking for something that can run a 1.5" disc.

Yes that is very close to what I'm looking for. I'd like it to have a 1.5" pad. It would be nice if the sander what a bit smaller than that, but maybe that's as small as they get.

Never heard of Metabo though, but then again there's always some tool brand here I've never heard of.

Metabo makes some top quality tools. Not clear just looking at the site if this is in house or a sticker, but their grinders are some of the best.

This one is close, but it's air powered. Trying to find electric
