That's what I spent for various Crapsman, B&D Pro, Makitas, that I've

over twice the price, but priceless: faster, flatter, steadier (one
hand's fine), cooler, cleaner, and quieter. I've used it to sand 1000
sq foot of newly laid rough oak herringbone floor to gloss varnish
smoothness, and to sand a classical guitar rosette flush to the
spruce belly. It's that tough, and that trustworthy.
