Dust collector
Lowes ease of ordering, price ,and fast shipping are excellent. Nice sander: Good weight , fit, looks well made . Dust bag connector does not "click" into place as stated in manual on page 10, falls off easily . Duct tape may work, but not for me .took it back.

Powerful but delicate sander
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love using this tool. Beats sanding by hand and really cuts down on the labor. This little bugger is powerful when you press down and use a heavy grit paper, yet delicate enough to use on the small things with a light finish. No problems with the tool, designed very well. Would definitely buy again! Might even give as Christmas gifts to family.

Don’t know why I didn’t upgrade sooner!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using an old palm sander forever and don’t know why I waited so long to upgrade to a random orbital. It has a nice weight to it and feels comfortable. I like the variable speed. Definitely recommend it!

Great 5 in orbital sander
Would RecommendWell built powerful sanders at a good price. I don’t see much of a difference between a 2.8 and the others at 3 amps. I like to buy them two at a time while the price is good. Most of the other brands have gone up quite a bit thru the current inflation..
