Decent tool, but rough around the edges

This sander was a decent solution to my sanding problems, but it has some issues as well. I needed something to augment a Porter-Cable wall sander while I refinished hallways and staircase walls. The Porter-Cable sander is an amazing tool (a little expensive), but something else was needed for the edge-work. That’s where this Marshalltown vacuum came in. It does a good job of sanding, but because it isn’t an orbital sander you really need to be careful not to grind straight lines right into your walls. With the vacuum applied it is also tiring to move because it adheres to the wall so tightly. In the end, it serves its purpose for edge work, but it is still a pretty rough tool. I replaced the hose that was included because it was to flimsy.

Well designed and well built
It is really as advertised. Works great, handles easily, and makes hand sanding in a comfortable situation. He is strong and sturdy, yet lightweight and well balanced.

clean, comfortable sanding
I love this sander. The handle is comfortable and makes sanding allot easier. I had another vacuum sander but never ended up finishing a job with a regular sander since the other vacuum sander was so uncomfortable and difficult to use. Using this I was able to do a small drywall job in my house without moving out or coating the house with dust as happens with a regular sander. I’m not a professional so I really appreciated the soft grip which made holding onto it after sanding for a long time much easier. I also liked being able to shift hand positions and use both hands for difficult parts or to give my arms a break.
