| Customer Reviews: Smooth & Powerful but iffy hook and loop February 12, 2010 G. Wiles (Texas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Overall I have been very pleased with this sander. I would not be working on my current project without it.
I have used this for 8-10 hours so far, sanding the paint off an old car. I am using 80 grit Autonet sanding screens by Mirka and have it attached to my shopvac. I have been very pleased with how smooth the sander operates, not nearly as much vibration as my old 2.4 amp black and decker sandstorm. This sander also has much more power.
Sandpaper/screens and dust control-
Paired with the sanding screens has resulted in very little dust but the hook and loop method does not stick very well for very long. Sanding over sharp curves of a fender or over the edge of the hood has resulted in the sanding screens nearly coming off, even when I apply a lot of pressure. Perhaps too much dust is getting in the hook and loops. I have not tried the sander with regular sandpaper but I might do that if I run out of sanding screens. If I try that I will write an update.
Additional Suggestions -
With the shopvac and sander I highly recommend using earplugs. I like to listen to music while I work so I bought Etymotic er6i earphones. They block out a lot of noise so I can listen to the music at a reasonable volume.
******Update 5/26/2010******
The micro hook and loop does not hold the sanding screens or regular paper anymore. I am contacting the manufacturer for a replacement pad. I have only gone through about a dozen sanding screens.

I went back through some magazines and saw that the Rigid got the editors choice. I bought a refurb for a complete reasonable price... love it. I previously used the Dewalt D26441K for my woodworking... faster work when wanting to remove lots of material. This rigid doesn't require as fine a sandpaper to get a equally smooth/scratch free surface. It may be the random-orbital feature that does this, but I'm a fan either way...
