Not as powerful as I thought I was going to be, but got the job done as planned… had the same power as my 4.5in orbital sander

Requires virtually no assembly. Slightly heavy BUT it seems to be just the right amount of pressure to the work. No extra pressure should be applied! Have sanded down some drywall and tongue and groove pine. Disks seem to stay attaches well and great results with minimal effort. I have bought numerous Rigid tools/ vacuums and have been pleased- warranty can’t be beat although this most recent purchase I am waiting for the confirmation of it. Don’t understand that.

Most effective and best quality sander I have ever had. Worth every penny I paid for it. The lifetime warranty gives me great peace of mind.

Rigid no longer has the extra long cord, no illuminated picture of the device on the plug,

I got one for my job when I was working as a carpenter. I pick this model because the other ones I used didn’t have enough power or dust control. Used it almost daily for several years The hose from my commercial vac could be plugged into the back if the dust bag was removed, making it dust free. Only complaints are it’s a little long to get in tight areas and the switch eventually went on it. But that didn’t stop me from buying one with my own money when I needed one for projects around the house. I figured the switch would last a lifetime when only being used for household tasks.

Works great and is better than the porter cable sander (the 6 “ one that looks like an angle grinder), but seems to bog down more but, is easier to handle and has good dust collection. Was able to sand in a small shed without the need of a dust mask. The only problem I have is the hook and loop backing pad came off with the first pad change and had to exchange it. Hoping this one holds up better.

Great Sander, but the Velcro pad is completely defective. I bought two new pads from a competitors sander and they have withstood the abuse that the ridgid Velcro pads could not take. they have an issue with the pad. Great value ONCE you replace the factory pad IMO.

Worked incredibly well for several days but after changing the 7th abrasive disc, the sanding hook/loop pad adhesive failed and it detached from the unit.. major flaw that stopped production and missed delivery on a rush job for the holidays. Probly wont buy again if the parts fail so quickly.. id have maybe expected this after 100 or more discs..
