Power Tools 5" Random Orbital Palm Sander

The Chicago Electric Power Tools 5 Random Orbital Palm Sander has received mixed reviews from customers. Some users have expressed frustration with the unavailability of replacement parts, such as dust catchers and pads, at their local stores. One customer even suggested using a sock as a replacement dust bag, highlighting the lack of options for replacement accessories. Another user raised a concern about the sander's speed, questioning if it was malfunctioning because it cut through wood too quickly. However, the response clarified that the sander is designed with an industrial fan-cooled motor that delivers 12000 orbits per minute for efficient wood smoothing, indicating that the speed is a deliberate feature. On the positive side, a customer confirmed that this sander is indeed the same unit sold at Harbor Freight for $24.99, making it accessible to purchase. Overall, the product seems to have some functionality and pricing advantages but lacks convenient access to replacement parts and accessories, which could be a downside for some users.
