I purchased this dual action sander because of other products I own from this brand. I was disappointed because I opened the box, removed the sander from the plastic bag it was in, and the handle fell to the floor because they never installed the nut onto the machine screw that holds it on the sander. I know it didn't fall off because the nut would be in the plastic bag. It wasn't in the box either. Obviously this is poor QA at production level. I'll have to find the proper size nyloc nut so it will stay on. Minor issue but shouldn't have to do anything to this product other than install an air fitting, lubricate and use.

This has high RPM'S and cuts down to bare metal quick with 80 grit. I may want to get another one for the shop. Works well for the professional daily stripping of paint.

Ran good till you set it down on something and then it would bog down very quickly. Speed adjustment knob broke off after about an hour of use.

The I-R 311A DA Sander arrived overnight, which was great. The stud on the pad was setting on an angle, which was not great; the pad would not seat, and it wobbled. (This stud issue had been described in reviews.) Contact with I-R customer support generated an immediate response, and I-R shipped a new pad. I bought a Neiko pad through Amazon to avoid the delay; the I-R part arrived in a week. I am pleased with the tool. In its price range, I-R delivered. Customer support was excellent. I'm going for five stars on this one.

I am doing some auto restoration work and barrowed a couple of similar DA sanders from family and friends to verify this type of sander would meet my needs. After research I picked this sander. So far it works really well and was much quieter than the other brands I tested. This was not the cheapest, but you could definitely spend more on other brands. Ultimately, this is a great value.

It's not absolute top of the line, but with the right consumables this thing is perfectly fine. I've used it to buff off decals and get to bare metal. It's quiet, it runs nice, and it feels solid and sturdy. There's not much more to say. Happy with it so far.

It worked great for doing fiberglass repair on my boat. One thing to note is that you will need a big air compressor to use this properly. My small 6 gallon tank and home compressor could not keep up with the amount of air this tool needs. I'd use it for a few seconds and then have to stop and wait for the compressor to catch up. Otherwise it worked like a charm, just took longer due to not having a large compressor.

DIYER PLEASE READ FIRST! IF YOU DONT HAVE A HIGE COMPRESSOR DONT BUY Great sander, lightweight, quiet, good control, had to sell it to a friend due to air consumption. One of the most vital pieces of info, CFM, is somehow not listed in the description. So really just wasted my time, not impressed with the seller.

I bought two of these to replace the POS 2601 Ridgid 5" random orbital sanders. Since 2010 Ridgid Tools are built in a cheaper part of China and their sanders are complete crap. I am lucky to get three months use out of them before the motors burn up. Prior to 2010 their sanders would last at least two years in our woodshop and could hold up to the heavy use and abuse of my students.Anyway it came as a 6" sander but I trimmed 1" off the padded disk to make it a 5" one. I then attached 4" wide velcro strip so we can affix our H&L 5" sand paper. The students are using them to sand their end-grain cutting board/butch blocks. The sanders holding up well and look to be a prefect replacement for the now sad Ridgid 5" sanders.

I can't fairly rate this tool because my 5 hp/60 gallon compressor could not deliver enough air to run it. I found elsewhere (not on Amazon) that this tool is rated for 17 cfm -- far more than my compressor can keep up with. I thought the 60 gallon tank would allow me to work a bit and then wait to catch up, but it did not -- even after I changed to 1/2" air hose straight from the tank, I could not utilize the full surface of the pad. Edge sanding just doesn't cut it!
