This thing is a colossal monster. The item was purchased in preparation for a complete bathroom and kitchen DIY remodelling project, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Although sanding bondo with a cordless drill might have been more convenient, it took an inordinate amount of time (and several battery changes). This monster tore through the bondo like a rabid dog, destroying everything in its path. When all of the lights in the house dim when you turn on a power tool, you know it’s got what it takes to get the job done. 5 out of 5 stars
