Anyone own a Ryobi Corner Cat sander?

[Matt Meiser]

I've seriously been considering a Festool DTS400 sander, but noticed the Ryobi Corner Cat (http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=100038153) at Home Depot the other day. I know the Festool is a fine machine and probably wouldn't have any regrets. However, I can't help but wonder if I would be "happy enough" with this sander at 1/6th the price since this is a rarely used tool.

Matt, I’m not a fan of Ryobi but for 30 bucks I don’t see how you could go too wrong, especially if it will only see light duty. I have the PC detail sander which I’m not crazy about either but it’s fine for occasional use.

I stopped at Home Depot to check it out today. It uses the same sandpaper as a B&D Mouse, so that should be easy to come by for years to come. I'm going to put one on my Christmas list and try it out.
