Out of curiosity, is a random orbital sander one of those things that's much much better to have cordless? Or is it not that big a deal?

I have wired, I don't really understand the current obsession for cordless everything.
I see there are some practical aspects and some tools it's great.

As said, it depends on what you are going to do with it. Cordless is great for stuff inside as you only need to deal with the vacuum hose. Corded (in my case with the cordless being the green Bosch 18v) has more power and obviously doesn't run out of electrons. So if I'm doing big bits, outside, I'll use the corded.

Forgot to mention in previous replies it's a rotary sander not random orbital that I would prefer in this case. RO might work as well but having the choice I usually opt for rotary.

No, for two reasons: sanders are hard on batteries and flatten them quickly, and you’re going to want a vacuum hooked up most of the time anyway, so you might as well plug the sander in too.

It's not that easy. I use a rotary sander work up through grits 80 -> 400. Roll on primer to seal it and stop it absorbing different amounts than the surrounding. Once you can build some primer on it you can undercoat and build on that.
I've tried in the past with filler etc but it'd very difficult to conceal.
