My previous sander is quite old. It is rectangular and holds a partial sheet of sandpaper against a rubber platform that vibrates back and forth at no great speed. I don't even think they make these anymore. This one in not only capable of putting out some great speed, but catches the dust while you sand. And with the hook and loop feature, replacing sanding discs is no problem at all. Great tool. Read more

If I tell you this is the best palm sander I have ever used (my favorite was built by Makita), I would be lying. However at 3 Amp, 5 inch diameter sanding surface and a controlable speed between 7000 and 14000 (6 variable speed settings), it would make it an affordable alternative to much more expensive ones at a few dollars more! The only downside is that it does not include a case. It does include a dust collecting bag. This type of sanders is great for finishing sanding operations and creating smooth beautiful surfaces.
