I've seen sanders that look like that for some time but not with the cutting attachments. It looks like the kind of tool one wouldn't need often but would be really handy when you DO need it.

They look like they should do a good job of sanding in tight corners.

They wear out quickly if you hit a nail. Lot's of uses too, tile, raising the door moldings to allow for tile or flooring, cutting wood for access. I didn't think i would use it as much as I do. It's a great tool, very expensive, but worth having if you are in construction. | | |
