DWSUDEKUM Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 You tend to get what you pay for Kevin. Harbor Freight tends to be ok for little stuff and occasionally the bigger tools as well I have had a DA sander from them for almost 8 years now with no problems. I guess it is the luck of the draw because their quality control is kinda spotty. You might need one of those garden pads to kneel on. DW Quote

rjR Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 As a kneeler ad we use some of the heavier laminated foam that comes as some packing material! Maybe even look around the back lot of the warehouse for some empty boxes; even a couple layers of cardboard are a lot easier on the knees than concrete. This is an old mechanics trick when working under where a down fall of dirt was going to happen too, much faster and easier cleanup! I always have a few larger pieces of boxes to use like that. I even use them as bench savers too. Quote
