Customer Reviews:

poor design [Posted on 2008-04-09]
The rear clamp for the sandpaper interfers with the dust collector so that it is very difficult to change the paper. The front clamp is so tight that it takes a good effort to clamp the paper to the pad.

Palm Sander [Posted on 2008-04-23]
Excellent sander, however the paper changes are the poorest I have experienced. Very difficult to open and insert new sheet.

Works Great! [Posted on 2008-04-24]
I didn't read the owner's manual, so I didn't have the same problem as those that did. I do not know why the clamps had plastic covers over the teeth, but they came off easy enough. I haven't had it long enough to know how it will last, but it seems to be a big improvement over the previous model (which I still use after ten years).

Front clam just won't hold [Posted on 2008-06-07]
After 1 project, the front clamp/clip just won't hold the sand paper anymore. Like everyone said, it is too very difficult to get the sand paper onto the machine.

Excellent palm sander and what a deal. [Posted on 2008-06-27]
This 1/4 sheet palm sander works easily and powerfully. For those having problems clamping the paper, hats off to Brad (other reviewer) who noticed that there are plastic guards that come off the clamp allowing easier insertion. Additionally, potential buyers should know that this is a kit - it comes in a hard plastic case with three 1/4 sheets of sandpaper as well as a hole punch. The marketing guys at Milwaukee tool should improve their product description to give all this info. so that Amazon/Milwaukee doesn't have to sell these at a substantially lower price than their competitors', and this is a Milwaukee with a five year warranty.
