Very pleased, main tool for finishing the project
UPDATE 1 YEAR: still great! After the table I used it for tens of jobs but the most important ones: car roof stripping and repainting, fence sanding, two doors and an uneven drywall. No problem so far whatsoever :)
I bought this sander specifically for a project that involved refinishing a 1910 table and this little guy was the key to the whole project.
In the video I was using 60 grit sandpaper, as the table had some bad stains but the sander is so efficient that it literally takes minutes to strip the finish off a table (with 40 or 60 grit sandpaper). I had to be careful as you can easily get carried away and sand too much.
Pros:
- a lot quieter than I expected (compared to my father in law's older one)
- I used it a lot during a day and it didn't heat up almost at all
- very comfortable to work with
- the dust extraction is very efficient
- I was able to do corners, although I thought I would have to do them manually (you just have to find the right angle to hold it)
- the price is really amazing :)
Cons:
- none so far
