"You may keep your $100.00. The sander is wonderful. The moment I pulled the trigger I thought, Wow! Much quieter than my palm finishing sander and very smooth. I live in a house of 1200 square feet and believe it or not I painted the house, but before I painted I had to sand a great deal of the surface simply because the paint was rough and would NOT scrape off. That's right. I used the Makita and I also thought it was crazy but it worked beautifully, hour after hour. Didn't sand the entire house with it, but a very considerable portion of it. Sander performs flawlessly and unfailing. Great tool and for the price it is a marvelous tool."
