Enjoyed your discussion of Random orbit sanders, but it did kind of seem like a paid advertisement for Mirka. But probably will not be spending $600 on my next sander, perfectly happy with my under $100 Dewalt.
This was a worthless article. There is no actual advice in the article.
One product is not a test it is a good job of selling. There are alternatives, some will out perform.
great video thanks for this
