This Product is one of few that really works. I sand plastics, metals, wood, even painted material (you can imagine the mess). I have cleaned up belts discs, sheets, dremel sanding barrels, that I was going to throw out. The belts cleaned up to almost new. You just sand like you would a piece of wood and it cleans up your belt with little mess. You will be suprised with the results.

I have owned this sander for a few weeks now. It is far superior to the failed sander (a 20+ year old Wen) that it replaced. It is much more effecient, has less vibration and sands more evenly than the Wen did. My only dissapointment with this sander was that the included hole punch is plastic instead of metal like those that come with some Makita and Milwaukee sanders. However, it does make adequate holes in the paper for dust extraction through the pad and costs a lot less than many sanders that do not have a punch included. I would give this sander fewer stars if the price was higher. I tried quarter sheet Milwaukee and Makita sanders (that cost about the same) before deciding to say with a 1/3 sheet size sander and am glad I went with the larger size. Overall, I highly recomend this sander to anyone who doesn't want to spend 50% more for some of the higher performance sanders but wants to step up from entry level products like B&D etc.

I find this to be the best sander I have used. The vibration level is very low making it a comfortable tool. Its cutting capacity and speed at which it does the job far exceeded my expectations.

I recently finished off 1300 SF of 48 year old red oak floors. Lots of damage here and there, especially water-caused problems. I rented a drum sander for the big expanses, and bought this model for closets, edges, and "tight" areas.

Excellent, excellent tool. Really powerful, too, so you have to maintain a firm grip. I have four Makita small power tools, including a pad sander, jigsaw, and cordless drill. Makita is my favorite brand for smaller power tools (I'm a Milwaukee guy on the bigger ones).

I just bought a 10 pack of these belts. They are 3M but made in Brazil and packaged in Mexico. They run in either direction. This way you can run in the other direction and pull off some of the buildup. I have grit 100 and ran a belt for 1.5 hours. It is holding up well after that run. Good price.

This sandpaper will give users many more hours of use than typical paper. I managed to sand my entire deck with a few belts. Highly recommended...

Premium belts at a reasonable price, load them up and erase the build up with a cleaning stick and load them up again. These belts can take the heat and stay together. The frangibility of the ceramic ensures a sharp cut throughout the life of the belt; these are the only belts I use.

I don't think that 3 M can make a better sanding belt.I did a lot of sanding with them and they held up very well.They are as good as those that I can buy in my local hardware store.I sure would buy them again.

These are excellent cutting, non clogging, long lasting belts. I am running hundreds of board feet through before a change is required.

This tool is not like most other air tools. It's made from a composite material that makes it (a) very light, (b) insulates it from cold air, (c) makes it easy to grip and (d) fairly robust. Attention to detail is top notch and it's powerful for its size. Cant comment on longevity but it supposed to be good.

Three stars only because of the cost. I bought 15 sheets of assorted sandpaper at a dollar store for a dollar, cut to size and glued them onto the original pads with Tacky Glue. They last as long or longer than the original grit. I've not yet reached a limit as to how many times this can be done.

The palm sander fits easily in the palm of your hand and reduces fatique form long project use. The 220 grit is not available in Lowes or Home Depot so getting it on line is easy and it offers another grade of the product. I have found this product to be easy to install, sands hard to get areas, and easy to remove. When I used it there were no burns, gouges, or uneven spots. My first project was a pie safe which came out so well, even my wife was satisfied.
