Great sander
This is a awesome sander. I put this sander to the test. I redid the exterior of my wood shake home. Completely stripping the loose paint off of my home, after pressure washing/scraping I needed to sand every piece of shake. That’s where this beast came in. I used this sander everyday for 3 months on each and every piece of shake. This sander is durable, powerful, and built to last.

Awesome performance! Highly recommend this DeWalt sander!
I have one of those outdoor wooden garden benches with the iron metal sides. Over the years, the wooden slats took a beating and the stain and finish were pretty much gone, despite storing it in the shed before the snow hit. I had a palm sander I was using to take off the finish, but it proved to be more than a chore, as it was not only making my body sore using it, but also not being very effective at removing the old finish, despite the different types of sandpaper I was using. After everyone saying that a random orbital sander was worlds better, I looked at different models and checked out this one at Home Depot. Other reviews were really good and I know DeWalt has great quality, so I picked up this one on sale. I chose the variable speed over the standard as they're more versatile in different situations. Everyone was right! It's night and day compared to my palm sander! It took the finish down to bare wood like nothing and made short work of every plank like nothing! The dust collection bag does a nice job of keeping the sawdust to a minimum and I wasn't sore afterwards like with my palm sander. It feels nice in my hand and is the right height and balance, unlike some I looked at that were taller and felt like they were gonna tip over every time I held them. What's also nice is the placement of the on/off switch. Another one I looked at had the buttons flush-mounted on the sides and it felt awkward pushing them in. I don't have very big fingers, and if I was having difficulty, I can imagine someone with bigger fingers having even more of an issue, especially if they're wearing gloves like I planned on doing. This DeWalt has the switch nicely on the front. I plan on using it to rough up the finish on my metal 4-tier shelf to repaint and also on my utility push cart to apply a spray-on truck bedliner. I have no regrets buying the one I chose!

My old DeWalt sander finally quit after about 15 years. I've been doing a lot more woodworking lately, so I'm not surprised. When the time came to choose a replacement, I didn't have to think long. Got another DeWalt. It's improved! The handle is better - my had doesn't get as tired during long sanding stints. It has variable speed, so you can slow it down when you need to. The internal fan that blows the sawdust into the attached dust bag seems to work better as well. Overall, it's a good sander if you don't need cordless (I haven't needed a cordless sander yet, so just got this.)

End Cap Broke in less than a week light use
I purchased this product a few weeks ago and deeply regret doing so. To keep this simple, the end cap, which holds the sand pad in place broke. I have now spent an extra $40 to get the replacement part online. This part, by the way, is not easy to find in stores. I'm now waiting for the new parts. Meanwhile, I'm unable to complete my project and have spent more than 50% of the cost of this product on replacement parts in just a few short weeks of ownership and very light use.

By buddy recommended this sander. I am old school with these tools but recently started getting back in on the woodwork after gathering my late fathers machines together. I really like the bag for the dust, great new technology. The hook and loop over spray adhesive is a great idea so I tossed two older sanders in the trash and bought this little guy.

Great Tool
Great for restoring hardwood floors, it took a little elbow grease since my floor is 80 years old, but it got the job done. I just wish I had taken before pictures. I'm doing the stairs next.
