Tools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DW411 2 Amp Palm Grip 1/4-Sheet Sander with Dust CanisterCustomer Review: Hard worker at a inexpensive price Summary: 5 Stars
I am a handyman/contractor. I own several of these units, and basically I find them "just fine". First off, they are inexpensive enough that I don't fear loaning or losing them on the job.
They perform radically better than the Mikata orbital sanders I bought 5 years ago (to be fair, new Makitas probably do better too). Now I wish I hadn't waited so long to replace my older units!
Yes they are noisy ... but in my opinion so are all the other units on the market. I wouldn't use ANY palm sander for more than a minute without ear protection, period.
Dust pickup is so-so as described, but in the jobs I do it doesn't really matter. I usually don't use the dust bag at all as it takes too much time to punch the paper and empty the bag for the benifit gained. If I need dust containment I do the work outside or use the Zipwall system (which customers really like!). And incidentially, no plam sander picks up enough dust you can safely sand previously painted stock without a respirator to protect you from lead.
One of my units had a loose fit between the dust bag and the sander. I roughened the plastic up a bit and that, more or less, stopped the problem.
What really counts, in my opinion, is it sands VERY well and quite fast. And with fresh paper you can easily get within 1/4" of a 90 degree corner, which isn't bad for a sander which uses generic (ie non-glued) sandpaper.
All in all, I like the DW411 alot.
