WEN Products Variable Speed 5-Amp Dual-Head Drywall Sander with 15-Foot Hose, Corded, 6377

I bought this machine to help me through a stipple/swirl texture removal on a 2600 sq. ft home. I am a contractor with lots of homebuilding ,handyman,painting and drywall experience (35 years). The sander with 60 grit paper dealt with this texture which was painted also ,and hooked up to a big shopvac left very little dust and debris to clean up. You should get an extra filter and rotate them out as needed. one person sand and a helper change and clean filters as needed. The triangle head was handy for corners ets. There is a plastic bushing that goes in the drive socket and triangle head has 10 extras stored on top. If head won't change out right make sure the bushing isn't in head and on machine which prevents them from locking on correctly. clean up good after each use and be prepared ,especially on ceilings for a workout. it is a GREAT machine and saves lots of time,sands patches great but if your aweakling it's gonna wear you out. l.sanding discs are high quality and go a long way. adjust the speed and go to it! lo

I purchased this pole sander for a commercial skim-coat project, where I had to skim and sand over three thousand square feet of drywall. I connected this to my Fein HEPA vacuum using the included adapter, and this sander worked like a champ. It's a bit aggressive, so you have to keep it moving, and it's a good idea to start with the slower settings and work up gradually to faster settings. The included sandpaper discs are extremely durable and clog resistant, at least with drywall compound, so you don't have to change them as frequently. There are some downsides, though. The handle is not very ergonomic, so gripping it is uncomfortable after a while, and I say that as someone with lager than average hands. This thing is also remarkably heavy. While this would indicate high-quality and and durable construction, this is also means getting fatigued fairly rapidly. Overall, this machine does its job very well: you can sand large surfaces quickly with minimal dust. However, it comes with a price, and that price is an absolute whol body workout the entire time you use it.

This sander worked very well and made the job go much faster. I would give it 5 stars except it is a bit heavy and if you turned down drywall dust would fall on the floor. I would recommend this and will use it again because of time saved sanding and cleanup.

It did not suck from the wall/head. The best vacuum was in the hose. Something in its head prevented the suction from going through it. Im returning it for this reason.

The main head was ripped off the arm and it was shipped that way.
