But for the price it works fine for sanding old wood furniture. The Craftsman I call the beast, its louder than the shop vac, and vibration dampening, hmm not sure if it even has any. Its the best I could come up with for now. Excellent adhesive on this, not sure how well the hook side will hold up, but the time saved switching grits makes it worth it.

I am an old time woodworker having been in business since 1978 and this is the BEST finish sander I have ever owned. I wasn't sure about this a first- seemed a bit slow, but after 6 months of use I'm pleased. I used some wax paper card board rolls pieces to fatten it up to mate to the end I use for my router, saw, and other tools.

Edit: I've now been using this for a couple of years, and have a second one in use as well. Belt sanding #100, and this with high quality #120 paper is enough for architectural millwork. Thats what i use it for.

Also it is much easier on my tired wrists and ears, if you want a good sander that helps you be a perfectionist then buy it NOW. This Makita on the other hand, has excellent paper retention clips, love how it works, best I've used so far, the thing is super quiet, you do not need hearing protection, though still recommend for long periods of sanding. No speed regulator in BO3710.
