November 21, 20178 yr Popular Post comment_132060 Came in a no nonsense plain brown box. Packed well. Initial impressions, very solidly built, a tad heavy, sealed on/off buttons, 6' cord, box style DC. Nice, comfortable top grip. Not too soft, not too hard, just right. Variable speed. Velcro pad. Came with 6 sanding discs. Minimal vibration on high. Fairly aggressive, great DC. Hardly any residual dust after 5 minutes of use with 80 grit. Easily controlled on crotch grained mesquite. It replaces a not quite dead PC 5". I think I'll like this one better. Report

November 21, 20178 yr Author comment_132072 Not sure of the manufacturer. Maybe some indication, the manual says to take it to the nearest Ryobi repair center for repairs. Report

Is this the one,Gene, is it a 5",or 6" disc? http://www.powertools.com-affordable.com/sanders/tacklife-random-orbit-sander-prs01a-classic-variable-speed-2-8a13000-opm-orbit-sander-with-12-pcs-sandpaper-80-180-grits-6pcs-each-5-inch Herb Report
November 21, 20178 yr Author comment_132106 It's a 5", Herb. Didn't see a 6" listed. All my other ones are 5" so my supply of discs limits me to 5". Don't sand very large pieces, anyway. Report

November 22, 20178 yr comment_132123 It supports to polish for presicion jobs if with right accessories. Chinglish? Report
November 22, 20178 yr Author comment_132163 The manual is not Chinglish. Their ad writers and tech writers went to different ESL schools. Do you polish your precision jobs? Report
November 22, 20178 yr comment_132214 Good review Gene...never heard of this name brand but worth the look. Best thing is it comes in a plain brown wrapper so wife wouldn't a new tool arrived. Report
