I can't believe you explained it so well in 3 mins.

You should really consider using the tool before doing a video on the coolest dustbox because it is complete garbage. it does not stay shut and will leave your whole workspace full of dust when you turn it on. I've talked with Milwaukee about this it is a known problem since it came out years ago and they told me to tape it shut. The VAC attachment works great but if you wanted it to be connected you might as well use a corded one with more power.

Used it to sand drywall and man dust flies all out of the little filter . Aside that works well.

I think you need some more Milwaukee battery tools I can still see some other colors in the background other than red and yellow.

Does it come with pad saver?
If you want to use grinding net instead of standard sandpaper.

How do you get the black adapater for the hose off the machine I cannot get it off to use the dust collector and what speed do you set it at for sanding plywood to be stained.

[rickyperkins]

I have a Ridgid, DeWalt corded sander and the vibration is crazy so just got a 3M Xtract night and day.

If you recommend the Milwaukee cordless sander I will get it.

What's the best way to hook this up to the newest packout vac? Do I need the Milwaukee Hose and Accessory Adapter Kit?

Mate how long does the HEPA filter last ? I have cleaned mine a few times after maybe 10 hours of use but maybe it’s time to replace it ? Doesn’t seem to catch as much dust as it used to when was new ? I love mine !! Thanks for video mate

[InnerInstinctStrength]

Love the review! Clear and to the point! Btw want to ask what is the brand of the protective clothing you are wearing?

[GabePena-ur]

It comes with a free battery if it's on sale.

[JordisGod]

I just got my tool, the numbness turns me on

[andrewpinson]

Probably a good site to look at tools. But a woodworking video site or a makers site - No. So I had to leave you.

This sander is terrible, just blows dust everyone. The worst bag design ever
