User Comments about the Makita BO4556 2 Amp Finishing Sander

I have owned Makita tools for over 30 years and have never been disapointed. The paper changing system is much improved over the sander that this one replaced.

I guess I needed something like a heavy duty grinder for stripping paint.But the sandpaper does not wear down evenly. It was constantly falling off. I also used a triangle shaped grinder and I liked it better, but it was also too weak for this paint. It has low vibration.The dust collection works best with a shop vac, but the hose does not stay on well.

Almost impossible to hold on to. I just got my Makita last week after suffering for years with DeWalt and Ridgid. First impression is that it's 10 times easier to use than the Ridgid and collects more dust than the DeWalt. I didn't save the receipt for the Ridgid, can't return it, so this is my revenge.David Hamel The Ridgid is an invention of the Devil.

I have tried every orbital sander on the market, except Bosch. We'll see how it holds up. Every one I have bought so far has been made in China and has died in a few months. This one is made in China too, but is way quiter than the rest.

Anyone familiar with power tools knows that Makita is one of the best power tool manufacturers. Nice sander, and probably not my last Makita purchase. This sander is typical of the Makita brand: rugged and scrupulously attentive to ergonomic detail. I like the way the wire clamps hold onto the sandpaper and the tool's lack of vibration; you could use this thing all day without discomfort.
