You will find you will actually wear sanding pads out rather than having to swap them due to clogging!This has been a game changer. I spent most of Sunday removing paint and sorting out the plaster in the kitchen with a sander. Yes, my hands were tingling by the end of the day but only bit of dust to clear up was from hand sanding were the electric sander couldn't reach. The pads on the sander didn't clog up either which made the job a lot quicker as well as little cleaning up to do.
