Pros & Cons

Quality


Light weight, performs well and the battery lasts a good while.


Easy to use, powerful enough and all most home craftspeople need.


This sander is so east to use and it gets into 85 percent of all the places my random orbital one can't get into.


In 15 years after legit abuse, only two 18v tools have broken .

Price


Very powerful little sander for the money and size.


15 years of abuse at that price point, i'm willing to test the longevity of the new model.


Higher price point doesn't always mean better.

Competitiveness


Easier handgrip compared to earlier models of other brands.

P400 was much easier to manipulate into any angle/orientation because of the easy to grip handle.

    I dont have small hands but the new design adds tons of fatigue when you arent sanding on a flat horizontal surface

    By contrast having to forearm grip the p401 in every other position is exhausting
