DEWALT D26441K 2.4-AMP Heavy-Duty Orbital 1/4-Sheet Sander with Cloth Dust Bag

Cheap DEWALT D26441K 2.4-AMP Heavy-Duty Orbital 1/4-Sheet Sander with Cloth Dust Bag Review

I am a painting contractor employing 6-9 men and this is my favorite sander. I found the Makita far too buzzy, they make your hand numb after about half-an-hour. the Porter-Cable Speedbloc 330 is a nice solid machine, but for twice the price I didn't get any more hours out of them than the DeWalt, and the clips for the sandpaper are awkward.
I was previously using the DeWalt D411 and the D26441k is a better sander for a couple of good reasons: The grip is more comfortable in your hand; There is a vacuum attachment that works very well.
The performance is very good and these sanders will go all day long for days on end without a hiccup, even without any kind of maintenance. I started buying these about a year ago and none of the 5 I bought have had any problems. I buy replacement pads from [...] for about and replace them when the corners get down to bare metal.
I have not had any "screeching" sanders.
The dust collector that is included is about as worthless as every other manufacturers dust collector, so I don't see a reason to demote the DeWalt.
Not all shop vacuums have the same diameter hose-end, but ShopVac brand 1 1/4" hose fits this perfectly. Also, if you search, you can find a universal adapter for hose-ends. Again, customer service not withstanding, I don't hold this against DeWalt
Problems that I had on the D411's were the feet that attach the plate to the motor were prone to break and the wiring from the switch to the motor (or maybe the switch itself)would go bad. They were also very hard to service if you wanted to split them and replace parts. Again, I haven't had any problems over the past year with the D26441k's that I bought.
