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.

I dunno, got a milwaukee m18 ro non fuel last year, lasts longer on 5ah batteries then my hands and body can take. Would say maybe 1 hour full time sanding per battery? Lots.
Things like sds, paddle mixers, routers, table saw and circular saw i really don't mind being corded, all of which don't cost much getting the corded version, but cost loads for the battery equiv.

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?
