Q: How did the tool/equipment function as far as saving you time? 

This sander saves time by being less dusty when using the vacuum system and by being battery-powered instead of dragging an air hose around. 

 

Q: How has using this tool impacted your shop’s profitability? 

I saved time on cleanup, and it was quicker to get to work without finding an air hose. 

 

Q: What kind of setup was involved before using the product?  

Stick the sanding disc on, put the battery in, and you're ready to get to work. 

 

Q: How was its packaging? Did it come with any accessories? 

It came with two batteries, a charger, and some sanding pads to get started. 

 

Q: What features did you like?

It's very easy to use. I like that it is battery-powered and the velcro on the sanding pads. The manual that came with the tool was easy to understand. 

 

Q: Is there any way you could think to improve or add to this tool?

Offer different color combos to match those who prefer certain colors over blue. Also, making this a standard battery platform would make it easy to replace batteries as needed.   

 

Q: What types of jobs/repairs did you use this tool for?

I used it to prep a trailer for paint, and it worked great for that as it was away from the air supply.

 

Q: How does this tool compare to other tools you’ve used like it? 

This is the first battery style of this type of sander that I have used. I like that I did not need an air supply to run it. 

 

Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this tool overall? Why? 

I would rate this an eight out of ten. The tool works very well and is on a 16-volt system.
