"I've been working on an old car restoration project for a while. Mostly I've been working myself to death trying to do all of the sanding on the body of this 1939 Plymouth. A friend told me that Northern Tool had an orbital sander on sale and I looked and bought the Dewalt 5" orbital sander. I am completely flabbergasted at the difference this sander has made. Areas that were taking me twenty hours to sand by hand with a vibrating palm sander now take less than five hours. It's incredible. The Dewalt orbital sander is lightweight, easy to handle and best of all, quiet! I don't have to wear ear plugs when I use this sander. The fact that it is so lightweight means that at the end of the day I'm not totally exhausted from using it. Had I known the difference the Dewalt sander would make I would have purchased one years ago. I would recommend the Dewalt 5" Orbital Sander to anyone working on any project that requires serious sanding. It works like a charm."
