My biggest aggravation is that the clamps BARELY are able to grab a 1/4 sheet of sandpaper. Even if it is the right size exactly, it's still hard to put into the clamps. I was thinking this would be a little more beefy than it is. If you miss cut that 1/4 sheet by 1/4", you'll not be able to use this sander. I would go for another brand if I were to do it again. Quite a good bit of plastic. It's lighter than what I'm used to.
I used this while painting my bathroom and it worked great. This was a great tool and a good transaction overall.
I have emailed amazon twice about this issue, and have received no reply. I really don't know how many stars to give this sander. As far as the customer service for Amazon, I give them 0-1 stars. So as far as the tool, I don't know. I'm sure that it does work awesome. However, when I purchased this item, I was told that the punch plate was included- it wasn't.
I didn't have any problems at all with the sander, and am very happy with the purchase.My sander did come with the punch plate, which is needed to make holes in the sander so that the bag will catch the dust.I also found that it is the perfect size to get 4 separate pieces of sand paper for use with the sander out of a single large piece of sand paper. I actually used this sander extensively last night to sand down some rough wall texture.
Perhaps Hitachi listens to its customers, because the Sanding Sheet Punch plate was included with mine, purchased from Amazon in Feb '07.It is a nice random orbit sander and I like that it takes standard sanding sheets.
