I recently bought a Bosch combo pack that includes both a random orbit sander and an orbital finishing sander since it was on sale. I'm thinking about selling one of them, but I'm seeing mixed opinions online about which one is better. I'll be working on some small household projects and maybe furniture. Is there a valid reason for keeping both, or should I choose one over the other?

Honestly, I'd suggest keeping both sanders! The random orbit sander is great for general use, especially on larger flat areas, but it struggles a bit with corners. The finishing sander excels in those tighter spots, so having both gives you flexibility for your projects.
What combo pack did you get? The specific model can really affect which one you might want to keep. The size and shape can make a big difference depending on your projects. If you don't mind sharing, I can help you figure out which sander might suit your needs better!
I got this one: [Bosch Set of 2 Sanders](https://www.rona.ca/en/product/bosch-set-of-2-5-in-random-orbit-and-orbital-sanders-12000-opm-20-a-motor-19836316). Any thoughts based on that?
