Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Skil 7290-01 2 Amp 1/4 Sheet Sander with Dust Canister Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace my 5 year old Makita palm sander.
1. It's very, very difficult to attach the sandpaper. I thought my Makita was hard to load but its much easier than this Skil sander.
2. My old Makita is 1.6 amps. The Skil 7290 sander is 2.0 amps. But my ancient Makita palm sander removes material at least twice as fast with 1/2 the effort as the Skil.
3. On the plus side, the dust collection works pretty good and the 7290 is prettier and quieter than my old Makita. Too bad it doesn't work very well. Its not pretty enough to use as a paperweight. I can't think of another use for it.
Save your money.

Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Whats not to love about this hose?Its surprisingly light weight, it has a nice large grip on the coupler (which is brass BTW), and they've improved the strain relief by using a spring instead of rubber on the old hoses.If there is a drawback I haven't found it yet.

Sunday, October 23, 2011 Magnate VTBS22 Hook & Loop Triangle 6 Hole Discs (Velcro) - 220 Grit; B Weight; 25 Discs/Pkg Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this sandpaper to use on my Bosch detail sander. It arrived on time and in good condition. The paper seems a bit thin but it holds up well. The triangles themselves are bigger than the pad on the Bosch sander but the holes match up so it works with the vacuum attachment I have on the sander. All-in-all a good product that I would recommend to a friend.

(More customer reviews)The built-in work light comes on everytime you place your hand on the grip, even if you work outside in a sunny day, this can be annoying. Other than that, it has the power, the right weight and characteristics for any household action. Bubble level and screwdriver bit are very cool details. All in a black hard plastic case.
