The Pro's are that it is a Makita - and Makita is known for quality! There is no denying this is a well built tool; however the model preceding it, the 9030, has the edge in design! The Con's: This sander was, unfortunately, designed to throw the motor cooling air, and whatever grit it contains, back in the face of the user! Safety glasses aren't enough to stop sanding dust and grit being blown back in one's face and eyes! A full face shield is necessary to safely and, more or less, comfortably use this sander - and generally a full face shield gets in the way of the kind of work for which I use the sander! Over 40 years on the job I have worn out several 9030's (and that's hard to do with a Makita tool)! But I'd take a worn out 9030 over this machine brand new any day! This machine is also 5+/- ounces heavier than the 9030! In use that translates into more wrist strain! If it wasn't an absolute necessity for my work, I wouldn't own it! Read full review

It was just what it said it was. USED. It was just what I needed. Spare parts that where no longer avalable.

I purchased this sander for for work. It has not let me down. It is easy to change belts and works great for final sanding on lathe work . I am not aware of any other sander like it on the market .
Great little ac powered sander. Powerful and versatile. Remove the grip to access tight areas or to support you grip while sanding. Works for tube or flat steel.
