Is Festool Sander worth the $$

[Andrew J. Coholic]

Been sanding many years, with many hours on a whole lot of different brands - both pneumatic and electric.

Currently, we use 2 Mirka and 5 Festool sanders in the shop. I really like the FEstool ETS EC - prob the best all around sander IMO. They all seem to hold up to a production environment.

Thanks. Buying that one is why I have a $50 coupon!

Just make sure you purchase the ETS 125 "REQ" - and not the regular 125 as some vendors may have the older model which is discountinued and has the weaker motor. The REQ is the newest version and the power increase and better ergonomics is noticeable in my opinion.

I have the ETS EC 150/3 and its been worlds better than the $50 DeWalt it replaced which was really the only other ROS sander Id owned. Ive since added the RTS 400 EQ.
