Abstract
A sander is provided and includes a housing, a power supply, a motor, a switch, and a switch actuation mechanism. The housing extends from a proximal end to a distal end and includes a first convex upper surface having a surface area A1. The power supply is coupled to the distal end of the housing. The motor is disposed within the housing and is powered by the power supply to drive an output member. The switch is in electrical communication with the power supply and is operable to selectively power the motor. The switch actuation mechanism is pivotably coupled to the proximal end of the housing and operable to actuate the switch. The switch actuation mechanism includes a second convex upper surface having a surface area A2.
