Works well
Date:October 10, 2010
"I have some work for this sander that got it taking turns with the Black & Decker I also got from CT. It has the same power as the B&D but runs a little slower because of the polishing feature but still works great. I noticed that it works better from 80grit and up and trading grades of paper for progressive sanding helps keep it and the other sander from getting overly hot. The collection bag is effective but vacuming after each sanding session helps the sanding disks getting gummed up. It handles plastic nicely and does a great job on wood too. At the sale price it is a great buy and worth the purchase. I would like to try the polishing feature it's size would be great for a touch up on the wax.
This sander is easy on the hands and works best with a light touch, forcing it down doesn't help letting it do the job on it's own works best.
Another good thing about the speed is that it won't gouge in when you first put it on the work, it polietly starts sanding."

"We have been using this product to sand imperfections out of the logs on our new cabin and find that out of all the sanders (5 or 6) that we have used this one is the best ! No nicks or gouging."

"This tool was my go to sander for a couple years and I still keep it around. It's taken a kicken and keeps on ticken. It's comfortable to hold and not to heavy, that it makes long sanding jobs difficult. The dust collector is about a useful as a screen-door on a submarine but I rigged my shop vac to it and that does the trick. It has enough power to get you through but to much pressure and it'll quickly slow down. Not an issue unless you need to heavily remove a lot of material. I have a a heavy duty 3.3 amp Bosch orbit sander now but I still dig up this guy for the odd job as it's lighter. Great tool for the money."

Fantastic value
Date:December 13, 2012
"I am a hardcore DIYer and decided to give this unit a try after my DeWalt died. This sander works just as well as my old $100 unit did and provides a very nice finish. The speed control allows you to approach the surface at a slow speed to avoid gouging your work. The only gripe I have is that the plastic protective cover over the power switch (it's a dust cover) is not very pliable and it can be difficult to turn the unit on and off, especially if you are working in the cold. When this unit is on sale, the value simply can't be beat."

"Great addition to any DIY'ers tool collection. I haven't used it too many times, but each time I did, it worked perfectly, from refinishing/levelling my old coffee table to polishing my automotive paint jobs. Reduced hours of manual labor to seconds."

Excellent sander at a great price
Date:October 2, 2010
"We already owned a MasterCraft palm sander. While it's fine for detail sanding (e.g., between coats of finish), but they aren't so great for smoothing out wood dents. We recently acquired a desk, a dresser, and night stand. All were still solid, but suffered from dents, dings, and about a dozen coats of paint. Sanding off the paint and smoothing out the scratches took too long with a palm sander, even using 60 grit sandpaper. This is where a random orbital sander (ROS) excels: removing layers of material and smoothing out rough surfaces. We originally considered buying a name brand, but when we saw a MasterCraft ROS for about half the price we decided to buy that one. (Even better, MasterCraft tools can often be bought at half price.) Orbital sanders usually take a special kind of sand paper that loops onto the machine, making it fast and easy to change sandpaper. Our new sander came with enough sheets to finish off the desk, although we had to buy more sandpaper to complete the job. (CT sells it.) The ROS made quick work of the paint. Originally we thought we'd have to use a lot of wood filler, but the sander did a good job of leveling out shallow dents and scratches. The only problem we ran into was doing sanding between coats of stain. Even thought we used a fine grit paper, the ROS went through our new coat. (This is where a finish sander is the right tool.) We've also used the orbital sander to level out uneven sections in a wood floor and it works great, except in corners where the circular base couldn't get in all the way. Overall, this is a fine random orbital sander for an excellent price."

Very good sander
Date:June 27, 2012
"I spent a whole day using this sander to strip paint and sand a fence that my sheet sander simply couldn't handle without tearing the sandpaper. This sander easily stripped off the peeling paint, where the sand paper would've just torn on my sheet sander. Also, despite several hours of straight use at max RPM, the sander was very cool to the touch. I'm not sure that I would use this to apply any polish though, as the sander does collect a lot of dust on the outside and is hard to clean.
I would've rated this product higher, except for two problems that I came across. Perhaps it's just my bad luck, or you could probably argue that these issues aren't problems with the product itself, but I'll include them anyway.
First, and I'm not sure if this is common to hook and loop sanders, but more than half of the 5 pack of coarse sanding discs that I bought flew off the sander while it was running. I thought at first that the backing might've worn off, but it seemed to be the same as the remaining unused discs and there was plent of grit on the discs that flew off. Unfortunately, the discs that flew off would no longer stick to the sander. Perhaps I simply bought a pack of defective discs.
Second, it was clear that someone had clearly opened and returned the sander before I bought it. I bought the sander on sale a few months ago, but due to other projects, hadn't gotten around to opening it. When I finally did, I couldn't find any polishing pad in the box and the 3 discs that were supposed to be included were replaced by five smaller 4.5" the sanding discs. Unfortunately, I never bothered to check that everything was in the box in-store, as the sander was behind a locked cabinet. I find it very disappointing that CT didn't pick up on the missing polishing pad and extra mis-sized discs on the return, as it clearly states the included items on the box."

Love this sander
Date:June 23, 2010
"I bought this to replace the defective Rockwell Sander I bought from Lowe's.
I use this on my deck, on cars, for woodworking, for everything. The sanding pads are easy to replace and easy to use.
Variable speed feature is amazing. This sander is very smooth and very efficient."

Good buy especially on sale
Date:September 30, 2011
"I bought this sander recently and I found it to be very good for the price (paid $21.99 on special). It performs very well, the noise less is reasonable and while the dust accumulator is very good don’t expect it to pick up 100% of it. Good buy and a much better buy on special."

Mastercraft random orbital sander
Date:May 9, 2012
"After only 4 months of use my mastercraft sander developed the following problems. (1.)The dust bag attachment kept falling off during use dumping sawdust powder everywhere. I cleaned the plastic connection several times but it no longer will stay on. (2.) The bearings began to wear out prematurely, unit began to make grinding noise when turned on and then stopped turned/functioning. (3.) During use, the fan/exhaust port blows air towards the user, if dust bag is full or disc holes blocked, unit blows dust into users face."

A nice one
Date:May 26, 2011
"I got this one late last year to replace a dead Skil I had for many years.
So far so good, like any other power tool, get familiar with it, try it with scrap wood before you start sanding a good piece; if you are novice, practice, practice and practice.
I have tackled several refinishing projects and I'm happy with the results, I agree with other reviewer, keep the tool clean to ensure good results and to extend the life of the sanding paper and the motor."
