I had other brands in the past but this one is hands down the best. Smooth and light, the variable speed range is perfect and much better than the competition..I wish I had it years ago..Highly recommended

This an excellent sander. I like the handle and the removable side grip handle. It’s smooth running with minimal vibration transmitted to my hand.

Great sanding tool for woodworking and many other sanding jobs. The tool is rugged and very effective. Just get the grit you need and let the tool do the work.

I should have bought this thing a long time ago when I started making cutting boards. I was using a cordless 1/4 sander that took me forver to sand. Now i bought this and i cut my sanding time in half at least. Plus it’s quieter than many other sanders.
