quick sanding when needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i use it to sand my chainsaw art and woodland furniture

good sander for a great price

High quality tool for a low cost, It is easy to use, great sander.

Great performance for much less $

Have used the sander several times now and it performs just as well as the expensive name brand sander it replaced. I especially liked the extra long power cord. Time will tell if it will hold up as long as the more expensive name brand, which failed after 3 years.

Very happy,

Great features and Great brand

Let me start with why I bought this sander. After years in the woodworking industry some of our sander are getting worn out. I have bought other Metabo tools and really happy with them. So this sander is of a great weight and design for comfort. Enough power to sand anything we sand. A price that works with any budget. The one thing that really stood out with me and employees is the nice 10 foot long cord. Now to why its only a 4 star rating. Although the dust collector works great at catching ...

Dust Bag Design is Poor

Since I first starting using this less than 1 year ago, the dust bag has been a pain. The slide on attachment does not lock in stably, and the bag comes off often while sanding. This is the plastic attachment to the sander Then there is a round coupling of the bag to the plastic attachment that causes the bag to fall off through normal sanding operation. When sanding at full speed, it's all worse. The inside metal frame has now, I suppose due to the vibrations, worn a hole through the b...
