I would go 5 stars but the first one failed by second day. The new one has been a 5.

Love this sander. It smooths wood twice as fast as my 5″ palm sander, which I now use as a dedicated 220 grit sander. It is well balanced, hard to bog down, easy to hook to my vacuum hose and leaves no swirl marks even with 80 grit. I’d give it 5 stars if it had a longer cord and the same on/off switch as Rigid’s 5″ orbital instead of a normally off type trigger switch with a push button lock. When moving the sander around on wood, it’s too easy to bump the trigger and trip off the hold.

With a dust collection system, no more saw dust, works great

I got this as a backup to the same sander I got a year ago, and was disappointed. Basically, it wobbles and doesn’t produce as good of a quality finish. If it weren’t for covid, I would sent in back.nit took me two months to get this sander.

Nice size. Easy to handle. Vacuum port for self-contained dust collection or attachment to vacuum hose for big projects.

The last one I bought was in Georgia in 2003 and has lasted me 16 years. I sand a lot and have been known to wear sanders out. Not this one, love it.

Awesome sander. Gets the job done quickly. The soft start is a nice feature. Didn’t think it would make a difference. It does. Sanded for several hours over two days and no hand stiffness or vibrating hands when I stopped. Very comfortable and esay to use.

Be aware of the paper, They sell the 6″ paper but it has no holes. Make sure you get velcro with holes, the other kind they have plenty of falls off. Good sander though.

Love the sander except Home Depot never has 6” sanding discs

Although this sander is heavier than other sanders I’ve used, it’s the best!! There’s very little vibration and the handles makes using it so much easier than cheaper models. Highly recommend for female sanders!

Very good tool for both fine and course work. This is my second purchase and the controls on this version have improved.
