5 Stars
At least 15 years of use out of mine.
Porter cable and DeWalt are in the same family and this sander used to be marketed under the dewalt name. When I was a teenager I worked at my dads antique furniture restoration shop and he had this (dewalt) sander. He picked up a new sander and handed me this one. I've kept up woodworking as a hobby since then and have used this same sander for another 12 years. It finally gave out on me as two of the four rubber prong mounts gave out - but for a fairly inexpensive sander to last roughly 15 years of regular use is great. I just picked up this we porter cable sander, still exactly the same so many years later for $30 something bucks and anticipate many more years of use out of it.Also: it's light, simple to use and not too bulky. :-)
