Great Little Sander
I bought one of these sanders when they first came out in the 70's when I was woodworking for a living. I have used it all these years until the sandpaper clip broke on one side after 40 years of use! I think this is the best quarter sheet sander made.

Home Repair
I purchased this sander to replace one like it which was stolen several months ago. The thief was so kind...stole the tool and left the case behind, so I am very happy this tool fits into the case.
I'm not a frequent user, but this tool does its job when I do use it. Easy to use and maintain.

A good work horse
Love this sander. Two improvements that would get it a five star rating are:
1. Make changing the sandpaper easier
2. Raise the dust bag so it doesn't rub on the work piece as easily
Otherwise it's solid sander that's great for detail.
