Good on you for doing these. I think you have a unique niche among the full-time KZbinrs in that you boot-strapped yourself and show these entry level tools. There are way too many folks who have dream shops that intimidate regular folks. My shop now has some significant investment in it, but I started with entry level tools and learned a lot. Nice to see someone who uses some Festool also discussing these entry level options and is honest with findings.

[@dinojay8410]

Good job with this video, Matt 👍👏 Just like when you review and recommend Ryobi for value ... I'm now in the Dewalt, Bosch, and Milwaukee range of tools, I too started out on basic tools like this B&D ...

[@emilyrussell8931]

I got my orbital sander from Harbor Freight (the Bauer) when I first started out and I’m still using it! The dust collection is meh but with my shop vac, it works great and it’s variable speed!

[@evans1978]

Im pretty sure Black and Decker, Stanley Fatmax and DeWalt are all made by the same company. I found out when I sent my Stanley cordless sander back for repair and it went to a DeWalt service centre.

[@JAS0N_M00RE]

From what i heard Black and Decker also owns Craftsman

[@nkgoodal]

​​@@JAS0N_M00RE yes, the corporate owner is "Stanley Black and Decker". DeWalt is their top tier line, but they also make Craftsman, Porter Cable, Stanley, Black and Decker, and FatMax.

[@yzrippin]

Pssst hey tectonic Industries owns both Ryobi and Milwaukee

[@666dynomax]

And by no means does that make them equal

[@noelv1976]

Most major tools are owned or operated under an umbrella by other companies. No different than car manufacturers. You think Flex tool is its own brand? No, they’re owned by the same company that makes Ego power tools

[@thekinarbo]

Even with a bare bones sander everything about a sanding project will be better if it's hooked up to a vacuum. There's at least 5 good reasons using a vacuum is a really good idea.

[@judyl.761]

I hate B&D tools. Totally crap.

[@joevandamm]

Everyone is buying that sander because its cheap and there cheap. I have one and its just terrible. Go get a bosch or makita instead, trust me its worth it. I've been sanding timber for years.

[@DwayneRitenour]

You shouldn't be listening to what I'm doing I using my phone to do so, it's illegal it's immoral and it's not very nice

[@michaelfairchild]

Many good DIY tools are cheap, problem is longevity of them. Personally I prefer to spend more for higher quality tools. Love my 18V Makita.

[@jon82987]

I’ve had 3 of these in the last 12 months. Second one lasted a week, last one only survived 18 hours. Bought a dewalt and it lasted a year before it needed new brushes. The B&D also vibrates way worse in the hand than the DW. 🤷‍♂️

[@joelex7966]

DeWalt is made by Black and Decker. They knew that no one would pay a premium for a Black and Decker product.

[@RonaldCorrao]

I think Rigid is, also.

[@ST-0311]

@@RonaldCorrao Rigid is made by TTI, as is Milwaulkee and Ryobi.

[@toolazy6893]

Ive used and abused mine for years and it still works somehow. Definitely right on the dust it throws though.

[@rexseven6907]

On a regular basis, the Bauer orbital at Harbor Freight is $19.99. I have a couple of them. Had no problems. And it is variable speed. Hooked up to my dust collector or a shop vac, it clears dust pretty well. For a hobbyer, it's hard to beat.

[@johncampbell9120]

Noone is buying that sander😊

[@ratshave4748]

Would this be good for removing blackheads

[@worstworkshop]

I bought one of those around 1992, when it was blue. It just died. Buyer beware! It's likely to last NO MORE than about thirty years. HARDLY a long-term investment!

[@worldforger9225]

damn, better be careful 31 years from now.

[@DwayneRitenour]

You know I never needed a damn phone in the 80s, I'm thinking I don't need a damn phone.

[@benjamintaylor1632]

I had this for 1 week before it melted the internals.

[@420drwilldo]

Man I was in a bind and picked up a sander from harbor freight with the thought if it just did What I needed it to do this one time I would have got my moneys worth out of it,,,,,that was 3 years ago,,,I think at the time it was only $40

[@davudandrews2665]

I got a makita fo$84.00 at CRW and it works great

[@stevenchavez5979]

Exactly the same as dewalt and craftsman on difference is the color.

[@timhalleran3514]

I'm considering the festool 150/5 sander. How does it compare to the 125? Thank! Live your videos!

[@timhalleran3514]

Love*

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you! Check out this discussion, it may help www.festoolownersgroup.com/festool-tools-accessories/new-sander-ets-125-or-150/

[@timhalleran3514]

Thanks Matt!

[@scottyV1000]

I have the 125/3 and love it. I was a Porter Cable fan but was starting to have tingling in my hand from the vibration. There is no vibration with the Festool and it stops instantly. I have it connected to a Festool dust extractor and there is virtually no dust. It’s a lot of money but if you do a lot of sanding it’s worth it.

[@isawthat4918]

It's hurts my OCD that this is about the Black and Decker but the thumbnail is a DeWalt

[@731Woodworks]

KZbin automatically selects these thumbnails. lol sorry!

[@isawthat4918]

@@731Woodworks no worries. I really enjoy your channel!

[@amg863]

@@731Woodworksyou can't select a thumbnail for shorts like you can for normal videos? I didn't know that but them again I don't post anything

[@janee7995]

I would still buy Metabo sxe 450 turbotec

[@markalcala1293]

It's dewalt without the yellow

[@v.p9412]

its junk dont buy it

[@patrickghenry100]

I don't know why they'd lie and say everyone is buying this sander? I didn't buy one, my dad didn't buy one, my mom didn't buy one, my brother didn't buy one, my uncle, who is dead, never bought one, my friend never bought one... As a matter of fact.... I don't anyone who bought one... Besides Black n Decker sucks .. anything I've ever bought from Black n Decker has sucked.. I'm old enough to remember when Black n Decker was a great product but now adays it's just a name... Probably made in China now. Anyways.. I wouldn't touch it with a 39 and 1/2 foot pole.

[@Korrin1]

Had one, it lasted about a year, did a decent job for what I needed it for/what I used it for. However the vibrations through the handle limited the amount of time I could use it. Gloves helped, but hand pain is not a great experience. Not nearly the same issue with my Bosch.

[@micahv9365]

I haven’t experienced any pain from vibrations when using mine. I bought it before restoring my house and probably used it for a total of 35-40 hours, never had an issue

[@VB-bk1lh]

Save your money and just get a good 1/4 sheet orbital sander, it doesn't require you buy special sand paper and can get into corners. I own four of them, three Dewalt, and one older Black and Decker that I've had for decades. Anything you save buying the cheaper Black and Decker homeowners model will soon be made up buying the more expensive sandpaper it requires.

[@cereal_killah]

I blame the sandpaper for the smooth finish

[@ryanhamilton9709]

That's my sander and it works Great! Plus U don't need variable speeds ! It operates at the exact speed needed!!

[@jessicabixler1658]

What I LOVE about mine is it is easy to hold and wont numb your hand or arm...a lot less vibration than my ryobi or harbor freight.

[@TrapDoorWoodworks]

DeWalt is owned by Black & Decker. It's probably nearly the same sander.

[@MisterPotski]

What kind of dust mask was shown in video?

[@timh7156]

Everyone?

[@anthonyb5104]

I got that because it was the cheapest with good ratings lol, didn’t know it was one of the best

[@PresidentSquigglyMiggly]

Ive got it, had it years and years. Never lets me down

[@ThekiBoran]

I don't mind sanding since I started using a vacuum.

[@Drewsyboind]

What was that dust mask??

[@731Woodworks]

RZ Mask

[@Dark_official22]

Can i put my hand there?

[@CJINW]

How do you see the Amazon price history??? Please tell. Thanks

[@matsudakodo]

camelcamelcamel

[@jd-lv6gi]

It sells so well because it's so inexpensive and it just works. For the average hobbyist like myself, there's really no need to spend $80-100 or much much more for a sander we might use a few times a month. I've had mine for 2 or 3 years and it works great. When it dies, I'll probably buy the same one again. You are right though, definitely hook up to a shop vac. My little Stanley 1 gal vac hooks right up to it and cuts way down on dust.

[@jwhiteker1]

Right on. I really figured you were gonna knock it in the dirt, but it does look like a good option for a beginner. I have the DeWalt as a backup. It works like... meh.

[@kmonnier]

The sanding face melts off in 1 day. I have run dewalt for years

[@patrickhouchins9074]

I would only buy Black n Decker for a 6 year olds first tool set
