I just bought a mirka leros and a vacuum this morning. After one day of use I absolutely love it. We don’t do a whole lot of drywall work but the custom home we’re painting right now has a ton of nail pops that we had to redo after the Drywallers tried to fix them. They spent almost a week going around and patching up nail pops without setting the screw in and the walls looked like they had goosebumps all over them. We spent two days sanding by hand and after the second day I said screw this I’m buying a Mirka.

Great review! Personally I own the mirka and the mirka vacuum and it work perfectly I buy it 2 years ago and I'm totally satisfied. I use 150 grid for finish and 120 grid for sanding 45 or 20 min hot mud. The fact that the head moove 180° make huge difference in my opinion like you demonstrated in your video. The dust control is exceptional, even when you pass on coner bead with half the head on the wall. This electric sanders is a beast and I will never return to the festool in fact at the beginning like 7 years from now u was using the Porter-Cable 😅

The festool vacuum is night and day difference compared to the one your using. Its what makes the product. The suction holds the vac on the ceilings you exert virtually no physical pressure on it while doing ceilings. I urge you to find a festool vac you could test out to see the difference

This is correct, it also keeps the interface pad level. Another thing, is you have to stick the old planex interface pad over the top of the new interface pad, this will give you a level 5 finish.

Aloha, C&S hope all is well. I finally picked up my sander I ended up with the Hilti. It was tough choice since Im a big Festool sander fan. The 180 sanding action is what pushed me over to the mirka/hilti. The one thing I am underwhelmed with is the dust collection so far. Im going to pick up some mesh discs and see if that helps but the one thing I notice is the dust port on the sander seems pretty small and is a bit of a choking point. Its not a huge issue in new builds but when working in finished spaces the dust collection becomes a lot more important. Couple questions 1. the hilti comes with a pad saver, Im assuming thats only needed when using the mesh discs? 2. Has anyone found the best disc/pad combo for maximum dust collection? 3. Does anyone make paper discs that match the hole pattern of the mirka/hilti? Im not sure if I would be better off with mesh disc and pad saver or paper disc with no pad saver. 4. Do you prefer the finish results with or without the pad saver?

I think its time to upgrade that Dewalt dust extractor anyways. That Dewalt is pretty much hated by all and it looks like you got your monies worth out of it.. Might as well get the CT36AC now and see if that helps the Festool overhead. Thing with Festool is they do a pretty good job engineering their stuff to work together so That CT36AC could change the game for the Festool and if not they have a good 30 day trial. I thought I had my mind made up to get the Festool Planex 2 but now Im second guessing that. Thanks and thumbs up as always.

The Festool 2 paired with the AC 36 is great. I was going to buy the Mirka but figured with Festool 30 day return policy I'd give the 2 a shot. I like the 2 a lot but nothing is ever perfect so we all make compromises on these things.

@@csdrywallhawaii I did send Festool an Email a few days ago asking them to check out your channel and letting them know you had one of if not the best drywall channels and suggested they offer you some support (ct 36 ac) doubt it will work but you never know. good luck.

Festool starts lagging behind. New companies are getting more innovative.

I know it may seem this is a safety nag, but - hearing protection, come on. With both the vac and the sander for extended periods, so bad. The damage to your ears is slow and accumulative and before you know it you have not only hearing loss but constant ringing in your eats that there is no cure for.

Thanks brother words of wisdom. I really should start wearing ear protection.

Funny how all the cheap $100 drywall sanders have LED lights and these really expensive ones are only just coming out with LED lights.
