Good, quick, accurate review thank you.

[@rcr76]

Just bought one today 👍🏻

[@J0rd4nBr0]

glad I could see it in action. I've been wanting one

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

+Jordan T I have thrashed this since I got it. Very good little tool, glad I got it.

[@Fujisawa4115]

I wish I had found your channel before I bought a Ryobi ROS300. Though I love Makita tools, I decided to try a Ryobi coded random sander. It works fine but I struggle to take its dust box off the unit. Maybe I'll get this Makita sander.

[@luciuskassmir6165]

Great video, thank you. I'm considering buying this tool, but I am wondering would the dust outlet be compatible with other extraction/hoover hoses?

[@conorhulgraine]

looks awesome

[@beatonthedonis]

I'm considering buying this to strip/prep exterior cladding at a cottage with no mains electricity. Which grit sandpaper would you recommend and would two 5amp batteries give me several hours of continuous use?

[@CockatielCompanion]

I am using 60, 80 and 120 to do the paint on my weatherboard house. To 5 amp hour batteries probably get you around an hour and a half run time in total.

[@beatonthedonis]

@@CockatielCompanion thanks very much!

[@stevenmcfarlane8831]

Can I ask if you think,the dust extraction is effective or just a gimmick. Cheers

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

With the attached bag it is very good on flat surfaces. I have not connected it to an extractor as I mostly use it outdoors.

[@oscarcortes734]

did the dusk bag plastic protector come with it, or is it an older model?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yes the plasyic dust bag thingy came with it. But in some parts of the world it only comes with a fabric bag instead.

[@diggingwithdylan]

Thanks for the demo! Can you attach a shop vac to the dust collection connector?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

+Dylan Youngstrom It is a very small outlet on the dust collector, you would have to try and find the right connection to attach a shop vac. I'm not sure if Makita make an attachment or not. To me though adding a shop vac to it defeats the purpose of it being cordless. Thanks for watching.

[@okafka5446]

How's it holding up after almost 3 years? Just considering about going cordless, and wondering about durability of tools/batteries with trade use.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yeah all good. I've taken a few chunks out of the pad because I've hit nails but that's my fault. Dust collection doesn't seem as good as it once was. Still a good tool.

[@okafka5446]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Cheers.

[@mcgraw8098]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL you can buy a replacement pad for it👍

[@CockatielCompanion]

Yeah I know. Still not at that stage yet. Best pad of any Sanders I've used.

[@hotaslava69er]

need this in brushless come on makita step yo game up!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I imagine this will be one of the last tools in the lineup to get the brushless treatment.

[@hotaslava69er]

Nah i bet the fans are!

[@jaomap]

which one is better...corded or cordless?.. specially do a lot of sanding

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Depends what sort of sanding you are doing. If it's in your garage, probably go with the corded. Doing the weatherboards on a house, go cordless.

[@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot]

I’ve had mine a few weeks, great at the actual sanding but mine is awful for dust, I use the right pads and fit them correctly but by the end of using it for 10 minutes the whole room is dusty, literally can’t think what I could be doing wrong

[@chiateng]

I think you can use vacuum cleaner

[@dbtest117]

​@@chiateng It's better to have functional dust collector that way you spend more time working on the things you want done than cleaning. :D

[@spoonfed7724]

Yeah you can get Festool sanders that can collect dust well but the prices might knock you off your chair

[@NicolajTorp]

Same issue for me..I also thought it was me doing something wrong

[@thepecha7]

Whats the run time like with a 4ah battery?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I can't give you a number of minutes, but I have used it a lot and usually have to change the battery once a day.

[@fireblade8905]

Dumb question but is it mikes better than a cheap sander from B&Q like a £19 one?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

You're right, it is a dumb question.

[@fireblade8905]

Tools & Stuff thank you for answering my dumb question.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

But seriously, if you only want to do a quick job then the 19 quid one will probably suffice. Although having said that I purchaced a cheap corded one(worx brand) to sand some doors and didn't get past the first side of a door before it died. The Makita one will last a lot longer and take a lot more abuse, so if you are going to use it regularly then it is the way to go.

[@dsub1994]

Can you Polish a car with this?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

You could if you had the right attachment for it. I am not sure if Makita make one for this but you should be able to find one that fits.

[@dillwiggle2]

One review said it really lacked power even on the highest setting, what are your thoughts power wise ?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I am happy with it, but rarely use it on anything but the highest setting. I tried a AEG (Ridgid) one the other day very briefly which felt like it had more power (even if it was a bit cumbersome to use). It may just have been the paper I was using? I will try and get one for a comparison test. I use the Makita all the time and it is fine for most of my needs.

[@jaomap]

how long does it last when fully charged?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

A 5 or 6 ah will do you a decent time. I'm not sure how many minutes, but I used it to sand my house.

[@jankyj2269]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL What does a decent time mean. 20 minutes? 1.5 hours?

[@fufuelhatch444]

@@jankyj2269 probably 2 hours I’d say

Is the thing still running?

Will this work on car panels?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

If you want. Probably need to get a softer pad. Makita also make an 18v car polisher.

[@VariaGaming]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL hi thanks for coming back sometimes scratches need sanding with 2000 grit or panels need smoothing after filler before painting.
