| jcr266's Full Review: DeWalt Heavy-Duty 5 Random Orbit Sander DW421 |
This is the best tool i have bought in a long time. I can't tell you how impressed and happy i am with this sander. I won a sander in a raffle and returned it to home depot for this one. I payed $5 more for this sander but never looked back.
The sander cost me $56 and it is worth every penny. Very easy to use and not to powerful. What i mean by this it is very easy to get things done and hard to sand more than you want off. The power is perfect. You don't have to worry about sanding marks or gouges it works perfect.
I have a belt sander and never use it unless i need to take alot off something. The belt sander can ruin a project fast and is difficult to use and not forgiving.
The random orbital sander is the way to go if you only buy one sander this is the kind to get. You can do anything with it and it is very easy to use and never ruins a project. You would have to try to ruin something with this sander. I looked at the other types and i had one that was not orbital before. The belt sander is to powerful and the other types are worthless. So i tried the orbital and i love it.
The sander has great power and is very easy to operate. This tool operates at 12,000 opm. It gets the job done fast and easy. The dust collector works good and it is very comfortable to use. The dust collector just snaps on and does a good job. You can empty it fast and put it back on or just leave it off if you use this tool outdoors. One thing i know about tools is if it fits well and is easy to use you get a better job with it. I love the feel of this tool and using it is a blast. The sanding disk is easy to attach they use velcro. The price of sand paper kills me but the way this tool gets the job done i will pay the price. The tool is small and fits in the palm of your hand. The sander has one speed but that is not a problem it is fast enough to get things done and not to fast to make it hard to handle. I like the case it comes in i have all my sanding disk in it also. Keeps it all organized and we all need that.
Would i recommend this sander. I recommend that you buy this one and don't ever look back. I wish i would have seen the price at epinions but i am still happy i paid for it. Trust me i use my tools daily and i know them well.
