Bosch 1279 palm sander any good?
It is $54. I could use a palm sander. That’s mod #1297.

Haven't used that Sander before, but others from Bosch have been as good as or better than the PC and Makitas that I own.
Have you checked out the old Sutherland's Design Gallery for their clearance tools? I'm waiting for prices to go down some more, but there are some cool tools in there.
Where is the old place? Drake and College?"There are three kinds of men: The one that learns by reading, the few who learn by observation and the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves."Will Rogers
Yep,
SW Corner. A lot of Sutherland's in the region are consolidating, and the tools they no longer carry, as well as other things, are all being sent to this store for liquidation. Lot of deals on Tile, oddball windows, etc.
Their lease is up at the end of December, so the prices will likely improve as the year winds down.
Wow, I bought my first table saw at that Sutherlands at College and Drake, back in the 80's. I was just fixing up houses in my free time then. Now it is what I do for a living. Humble beginnings.All the best,Brian

I went to a couple of reviews and the paper holder gives out after short while.
I won't buy a tool unless it workds well.
