Pros

This sander has enormous power and a solidity normally found only in larger belt sanders. Light weight and low profile make this easy to handle for cabinet re-facing jobs. Handles very nicely.

Great sander. Very satisfied and astonished with this vendor. As seller described it, i'm satisfied with this transaction.

Worked beautifully for all of it. Pleased with the functionality and results. Works great, and the refurbished item was much less expensive.

Quality


Great product, excellent quality tool, very happy with this purchase.


With the 90 day warranty you’ll know if there’s a problem.

Price


Right now, i'm happy with it and the price was right.


Saved almost half the price of a new one.

Competitiveness


Works great just like all ridgid products.

I sanded down a 12'x12' hardwood floor with 50-grit, 80-grit, and 120-grit.


I bought this mostly for its variable feature and the great reputation of ridgid power tools.
