Review title: Durable, but too much downtime
Product review: This Dewalt is a durably built sander, but the plastic ring used for the controlled finishing feature wears out much too quickly. I only get about 4-6 hours of use before this part need replacing. No home improvement, hardware, or building supply sells this part in my area, which means it has to be ordered everytime the part wears out, meaning too much downtime. Not only does this part have to be replaces every 4-6 hours of use, the part itself costs $7 to $8 apiece. This is extremely poor design and needs to be corrected. The hook and loop also stopped accepting sand paper after about 10 hours of use, however, I'm using the cheaper priced adhesive backed paper on the worn pad and it works fine. As much as I use the sander, I would be much better off buying another brand sander with the money it takes to replace the controlled finishing ring and the pad. I'm going with a porter cable or BOSCH.
