Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

3 year Update: Buy this now, don't waste your time looking elsewhere. This is the best bang for my buck, ever. I abuse this sander and only now am I beginning to see the foam pad wear a little. Motor and aesthetics are still great, and I think I can actually replace the foam pad. Update: 2 years later and a ton of heavy duty use later, this thing is still kicking. I use this on average 2 hours a week of sanding fiberglass and carbon fiber. That stuff is not nice to motors. But this is still doing fine and the Velcro pad is even on great condition. I would have spend $100 on this product, but happily only paid $30. I also beat the heck out of this. It is not babied or well cared for. I chuck it in my tool box at the end of the day and it takes all the abuse. For the price, I’m amazed this thing is still running. I purchased this 8 months ago and used it for a fiberglass rowing boat restoration. Sanding down paint and old fiberglass, sanding new fiberglass repairs down, prepping the whole shell for paint, and I just started another fiberglass/carbon fiber repair and it’s STILL working great. On a prior project, my much more expensive craftsman orbital’s motor died and couldn’t take the carbon fiber. This sander has now made it through two glass projects. I’m stoked.
