Makita BO5030K 5" Random Orbit Sander, with Tool Case

Baught as a gift. Great quality.

This is a great sander. Absolutely no complaints, works great, easy to use and it's comfortable to use. I'd recommend it to anyone.

So far so good. Only used it once so far but it is certainly very quiet and gets the job done

I love Makita products. This sander is easy to use, has good power, and it sucks up a good bit of dust in the bag. I’m happy with my purchase.

Bought this for my husband he loves it because it's very durable and the battery life is great

Classic easy to use sander. Trustworthy brand. Not the most quiet but it’s a tool so to be expected.

I still have there palm sander and it's at least 10 to 15 years old. So I'm sticking with them. I bought a sawzall from this company and I literally trimmed up a overgrown chestnut 🌰 tree 🌳 with it. With a 8" pruning blade. I sold a few years back. The palm sander still works and this orbital will be with me till I go or it goes. Great product.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I had a "mouse" style electric sander and needed this one for other types of jobs. I'm using it for finishing electric guitar bodies. I chose the Makita BO5030K 5" Random Orbit Sander because of it's simplicity, price, and the reputation of the brand. It didn't disappoint. I'm also a hobbyist, so I didn't want to spend more than $80 if possible. I started using it out of the box (ordered the discs separately) with great results so far. Not sure how to rate it in terms of loudness, as I would have to compare with other similar items and this is the first and only random orbit sander I've used. I can say I find it ergonomic although when using it continuously for more than 5 minutes in certain angles, the arm may get tired and it doesn't seem designed to switching hands without turning it off first. If it had a second handle or way to grab it, then it would be possible.
