The slim line body makes for a smaller, more comfortable hand grip. This feature will particularly appeal to those with smaller hands who want to use this for decorating preparation but will also be greatly appreciated by professional decorators as it will be much more comfortable in extended use.In use the efficiency of the dust collection is measured. Dust collection performance with the bag attached seems to be slightly worse than on competing models with a 8 hole layout. The tool does an admirable job drawing air in, but it cannot keep up with the larger surface area of the intake holes on other sanders. The dust bag does not help the situation.
