 Great Little Finish Sander!! April 13, 2008
Picked one of these up at an estate auction and it is a fine tool to work with! Dust Collection isn't bad, never seen one that's 100% yet! Works fast and has not left any swirl marks on any of my projects! Its easy on the hand and does not vibrate like the B&D I also own, which is a hand killer! The clamping mechanisim for the sand paper works fine, I've had no problems with slippage! All in all an excellent finish sander!

Works fine but not for those with carpel tunnel. Dust collection is near nill.
An Amazing Little Sander December 5, 2007

I own six sanders of various types, mainly Bosch and Makita. But if I had to buy only one for general purpose use, this is the one I would choose. It has amazing power and can really remove wood when you want to, it is very light which makes it versatile and the price is super for what you get.
Loading new paper is a little tricky at first and the design could be improved, but once you get the knack of it there is no problem. Also, the dust bag must be Makita's little joke since nobody would take the time to make it work. But, it looks pretty and keeps the air from blowing in your face.
All in all, if you need a palm sander of this type, this one comes highly recommended.

I've owned one of these versatile palm sanders for several years and it tackles everything I ask of it. Despite its small size, it's good at both rough and finish sanding on open surfaces, but is light and maneuverable enough to get into tight spots for detailing. In fact, you can go right to hand-sanding after using this tool, as I've done on many occasions. Dust collection is pretty good, which is somewhat surprising because it takes quite awhile to get the bag even partly full. The only drawback is that this sander makes a lot of noise, emitting a high-pitched whine that can't be good for your hearing, but on every other point, it is well worth the relatively low price. I now have several power tools made by Makita and have been satisfied with them all.

This is the second Makita finishing sander I have owned. Wore the first one out after many hours of use. It is not for heavy duty sanding. Light weight and easy to handle, the square pad reaches into corners and places where orbital or belt sanders can't
