Re: 360 Ratius Sander


I have the last couple of jobs and I love the thing! Great quality and it works much better than any of the other sanders I have used, no flip, haven't torn any drywall since. The sheets are a bit spendy but once again the quality is great so they last awhile. I would suggest trying one if you don't like it you will have no trouble getting rid of it.

I have used it for about 6 months now and I love it. It doesn't flip on you and the paper seems to last longer. It lets you get tight into the inside corners without scratching the wall. Saves you time when going around the inside corners with a hand sander.

Re: 360 Ratius Sander


yes, i just bought one 5 months ago. a great investment, however it seems that when you take off the paper from the foam pad , the pad rips easily. therefor you may have to purchase another pad. otherwise its great.

Re: 360 Ratius Sander


I find them brilliant for going over large areas (skim work) and give the joins a quick flick over after using the porter cable to get rid of any swirly's and sanding grooves, especially in harsh lighting areas, wouldn't be without one now.

Re: 360 Ratius Sander


Agree... And the Super Sander is just about as good because it won't flip either. And no scratches with Johnson sand paper. And the paper really lasts.
