Porter-Cable 7800 4.7 Amp Drywall Sander with 13-Foot Hose Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have over 15 years experience with drywall, so I'm not new to this. I agonized over spending this much money on a sander for a couple years. Yes, it's been available that long. But, I'm getting older and the back and shoulders don't like hand sanding on ceilings and I have yet to perfect the "sponge" method.
Regardless, I purchased the P-C sander and a box of 150 grit pads. If I didn't like it, I could sell it on "auctions". After one large room, I was pleased. I will agree with some other reviewers that you can make plenty of swirl marks. That's the first thing I did. The second thing I did was to spend 5 minutes playing with it to figure out how NOT to make swirl marks. It really isn't that hard. It is much faster than hand sanding and virtually no dust. My customers love that part!! (I do alot of remodelling jobs). If you do a good job mudding, there should be minimal sanding to do anyway.
This sander will NOT do inside corners. Based on its design, it can't get any closer than about 3/4" to the actual corner. Know up front that you will still need to touch up the inside corners. This sander is primarily for large relatively flat surfaces, and in my opinion it does a good job when used properly.
The other thing that P-C should work on is the weight. I know we all carry around tools that weigh more than 8 pounds. Try holding it over your head for any length of time though. While it is balanced nicely, 8 lbs. is still 8 lbs.
You also don't need to spend "money" on the vacuum either. (Sorry P-C) My QSP shop vac with a Cleanstream/Gore-tex filter($22) works just fine.
The 13' hose means you can put the vacuum in the center of a room and not have to move the vacuum, just walk around and sand.
So, don't look for mine on "auctions". It's staying in my toolbox.

Magna MT800 Sand & Kleen Hand Sander System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After going thru the above reviews, it's obvious way too many guys are not reading the directions! there is a valve to reduce suction so that the sander head isn't stuck to the wall and solutions for other problems, too. is it the world's greatest heavy duty drywall sander for production use? no. but is it almost perfect for the homeowner or tradesman who only has to hang and finish drywall once in a while and often needs to keep the mess to a minimum in the process? YES. yeah, it whistles- big deal, get some earplugs. my shopvac is so loud i'm usually wearing them anyway. probably the best part is that it allows you go more than five minutes without the vac filter clogging AND you're dumping thin sludge instead of a huge cloud of dust at cleanup time.

Marshalltown VS792 Vacuum Sander with Hose Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this sander. The handle is comfortable and makes sanding allot easier. I had another vacuum sander but never ended up finishing a job with a regular sander since the other vacuum sander was so uncomfortable and difficult to use. Using this I was able to do a small drywall job in my house without moving out or coating the house with dust as happens with a regular sander. I'm not a professional so I really appreciated the soft grip which made holding onto it after sanding for a long time much easier. I also liked being able to shift hand positions and use both hands for difficult parts or to give my arms a break.

Magna Sand & Kleen MT 999 J Pole Sander Head & Extension Pole For The DIY'ER # Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this extension pole on the ceiling of the addition I was building onto our house. The vacuum does a great job of containing the dust, but the suction also makes it difficult to work the pole accress the ceiling. It was quite a workout, so I did the final coats from a ladder using the hand head Magna vacuum unit. The pole itself is a little flimsy, but, as they say... "you get what you pay for".

Magna Sand & Kleen MT 999 Pole Sander Head & Extension Pole For Contractors # Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Had ordered the Sand & Kleen system previously, the hand sanding unit, and was satisfied with how it worked,. I then did some drywall work on ceilings, and decided to give the pole extension kit a try.
I was very unhappy with how it was packaged when it arrived, and the head attachment, at the end of the extension pole, is way TOO floppy. Have accidentally gouged the ceiling in a couple of places, when the head has pivoted unexpectedly, and made more work for myself.
I can not in good conscience recommend this to anyone.

Magna Sand & Kleen MT 890 Hand & Pole Sander Combo System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This sander combo was unbelievably good at what it does.
We are removing wallpaper from multiple rooms and going through a lot of patch and drywall paste to to get the walls smooth. 4 gallons in one room alone.
We prepared by purchasing 2 OSHA certified dust masks but they are still in the packaging.
The sander combo removed all visible dust from the air and other than wiping the dust from the walls, there was no mess at all.
I have recommended this to all members of my family and any friends about to start a similar project
