This little sander has worked as expected so far. Emptying the cup got a little messy but figured out a better way to empty it. I haven't used it tight spaces or nooks but it worked well in the corners of the floor. It is easy to handle and operate seeing that I have somewhat small hands.
I mostly used the orbital feature for the large items. It does everything and it is very easy to switch between each of the different pad/settings. I finished everything before she and the kids were even finished painting a table and chairs. We went to every hardware store in town and they were all going to discontinue this item. I have no idea why it would be discontinued. This the best sander I've ever had. It was amazing. I haven't found anything about it that I do not like.
We found it on Amazon and it was delivered post haste. We bought a new house and my wife made me sand nearly every piece of furniture we own to prep it for re-painting. A very good piece of equipment. I plowed through all of it with a breeze.
This uses standard 5 inch hook and loop orbital pads and I had no difficulty in finding the detail pads at the same store. I picked this up at a local hardware store and am very happy with the product. Considering the abuse it has endured so far, I would say that this sander could handle smaller tasks with ease and for a normal weekend woodworker's usual "honey do" projects, should last a normal lifetime. I am in the middle of a staircase refinishing project. I needed something to get into tighter corners and for a little more aggressive paint stripping. I used stripper to remove the paint, but there were remnants absorbed into the wood fibers. I should point out that I am using this for a job that is much more extreme than this product was designed for. If not, it has a two year warranty.
I have a 1/4 sheet sander and a belt sander. I have been running it for hours and the orbital action really speeds up the surface paint removal. I know I will definitely get my money's worth out of the product. The finger and detail attachments work nicely for the tight spots.
They sent me to their local factory repair store. Looks great - works well.BUT - nobody has paper to fit this sucker. Not even the B&D web site. Called them - they have no paper for it either - but did mention this item is discontinued.Am returning it on Monday.Too bad, because it did work OK for the one project we bought it for. Called the "CALL BEFORE RETURNING" number.
I also repaired a small area of hard wood floor that dog had peed on repeatedly. I got it to work on my kitchen cabinets.I have asthma and sanding with a traditional sander is out of the question. I love this little sander. This little guy gets in all the tight places and then you get to empty the little cup and not breathe the sawdust and there is no mess to clean up. I was able to san it down and refinish just that smal area without a big mess.Love this little guy. Not for huge jobs but just right for what I needed.
