5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased, February 17, 2009

This review is from: Makita BO4556 2 Amp Finishing Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought this sander to replace a Makita I have had since 1992. I was impressed with the improvements that have been made. There is much less hand vibration, it is easier to load the sandpaper and the dust catcher works better. I am sanding plaster repair. Although nothing will completely control plaster dust, this really helps to contain it in a more limited area. I like the Makita because it is light weight, easier for me to handle and still does a good job.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice tool, April 8, 2009
This review is from: Makita BO4556 2 Amp Finishing Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)
Anyone familiar with power tools knows that Makita is one of the best power tool manufacturers. This sander is typical of the Makita brand: rugged and scrupulously attentive to ergonomic detail. I like the way the wire clamps hold onto the sandpaper and the tool's lack of vibration; you could use this thing all day without discomfort. Nice sander, and probably not my last Makita purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars I like it, April 21, 2010
This review is from: Makita BO4556 2 Amp Finishing Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)
I just got done refinishing the stairs in my house, and boy was that a lot of work! I was able to use this handy-dandy Makita sander to do a lot of the work. Its small size allowed me to get into tight spots, which was very nice. The first sander I used made my hand go numb from the vibration, but when I switched to this sander, I had a good deal less trouble. Also, I must say that I liked the dust catcher, which made cleanup much easier.

So, no, I am not an expert woodworker, nor do I play one on TV, but I found this to be a very good and easy-to-use sander. I like it.
