great price.
Awesome for DIY automotive body work. Plenty of power, comfortable, and small enough to do detail work on bumpers etc. Have used this with a vacuum for dust extraction, and it's kept the mess under control.
Great for DIY automotive body work when paired with an interface pad. No issues removing and reinstalling, they have good Velcro grip.
