5 out of 5 stars Excellent Product   November 29, 2008

This is a high quality professional quality tool. The enclosed switch is a feature that protects the product from dust. This feature was not available on earlier models. It will take a 8.5 X 11 sheet after you divide the sheet into 4 pieces. This is more econmical than buying pre cut sheets.Makita BO4556K 2.0 Amp 4-1/2-inch Finishing Sander w/Case


5 out of 5 stars I love this little guy   July 28, 2009

I picked one of these up off the clearance rack at Home Depot just because it was too cheap to pass up. I ended up liking it more than any other sander I owned. It's small, light, and easy to control, and the dust bag works better than you'd think it would.

I'm not crazy about the way the paper clamps work, or about the noise it makes (it's louder than my belt sander), but for the price I paid, I can't complain at all.

The Makita sander has everything, power, ease of use and dependability. Replacement sheeets are easy to find for it and it is powerful enough to do a professional job

picked this up at HD. nice for detail work when R.O. sander is too much for the job. GREAT hard case, excellent power with little to no vibration, nice template to punch holes in sandpaper for dust extraction. makita makes great tools and at swell price-makes you feel like you got a bargain.

This is a good product. It's my latest Makita .. I've lost track of how many I have. They are always quality. The sander makes surfaces silky smooth and your hand doesn't get numb holding it. It comes with a clever little device to punch holes in the sandpaper for dust collection. My only complain would be the dust collection system. My shop vac connects directly to the plastic adapter. That's great! But the plastic adapter keeps coming apart from the unit. Not a huge deal since having a hose in the way is a big hassle anyway. I guess I just need to build that down-draft table.
