Love the Craftsman 5 in. Random Orbit Sander

The Craftsman Random Orbit sander is so quiet and easy to use. Most of the other sanders that we have purchased to do sheet rock work have been very loud. It also has multiple speeds depending on what kind of sanding you need to do. Love it and recommend it.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Good Bang For Your Buck

Just finished sanding the inside of my cabin with this sander and it worked great. I especially like the fact that my vacuum hooked right up to it and the dust was minimal. Easy to change papers and the variable speed is nice. I bought a skil at about the same price previous to this one and it didn't last half as long.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Love It!

The tourque surprised me.  Material removal was fast, smooth, and nearly dust free.  Love the dust collection, although the collection pouch can be a pain to empty.  Used it for rough sanding and final sanding to 220 grit with very good results.  I would recommend this tool for a beginning woodworker or proficient DIYer.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

I like this RO sander!

I stopped by our local little Sears store to buy the Craftsman 11217 RO sander, but they only had this variable speed model and I bought it instead.  I expected to wear the thing out in a week grinding old paint off some cedar siding and didn't want to spend much money.  With 40 grit paper and the sander connected to my shopvac (a very nice feature of this little hummer) it did a fantastic job with no dust clouds, low noise levels, at about half speed, no sore arms from vibration.  It did a great job on >200 sq ft of old siding, and had conntinued doing excellent work on some shop project finnish sanding, and it is still running strong.  The variable speed feature really works well and it was something I had origially dismissed as a useless attribute, but it is very useful and well worth having. The little dust bag catches nearly all the dust. If you need a great little RO sander, you won't go wrong with this one.  My old 1/3 sheet RO sander went into the Trash can!

I would recommend this product to a friend.
