SKIL 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander with Pressure Control, 2.8 Amp, 7492-02

Satisfied with this sander. It works good for the price.

Bought this to finish up work on a house I had for sale. The house needed much work and I just did not want to hand sand 5 thousand tiny cracks in plaster walls after patching. This is a work horse! Came with a couple sanding disks of different grit, but then I bought a 15 pack to do softer finishing on walls. Most people would think of this for light to medium woodworking, but don't be fooled. It's pretty light weight in the hand, but not so much so that you think it wont work. This little machine saved me MUCH work and time! I was however dealing with drywall spackle and fine plaster dust rather than wood dust. So the little filter clogs quicker. But I just detached the filter an applied a shop-vac to the exsust end to clean it out. I think you could hook up some sort of a standard vacuum, but I didn't have the right size attachment. The end where the filter attaches IS NOT the standard vacuum hose size. So my method worked great! Only one flaw.. web-page indicates a clear plastic dust cover over the on/off switch. Nope, not there. I took up the issue with Skil directly, and they stated it was a design change. Not for the better I think. Hopefully the switch will withstand the dust over time. But, yes, I love this sander. And a great price too especially when you factor in free (ship-to-store). Well worth it!
