 Guess I got what I paid for.... November 20, 2009

Dewalt's supposed to have a good reputation. I have their biscuit cutter & it is pretty accurate. But this sander needs help.
I guess you can't buy this sander without the dust collection. I removed it. I don't use punched paper because it tears on corners & edges. (but of course, the pad still has holes in it.) & speaking of pads: it's real thin. Not nearly the heft or quality of my old Porter Cable which died after about 25 years.
In using the sander, I found it didn't sand nearly as quickly or thoroughly as the PC. Then I found out why! the cheap plastic base is warped! so on a flat surface only two corners are even touching the surface. I think the warp is caused by the heavy clips that hold plain sandpaper to the pad.
My warrantee is long gone, so I guess I'll look into replacing the base with something substantial. If I break something I won't really be losing much.

I have used a few different brands of this type of 1/4 sheet sander including a Makita that I don't like because of the way it is hard to control when I first approach a working surface of wood. The Makita jumps uncontrollably and I have to manhandle it more than I think is necessary. I can honestly say that after I borrowed my boyfriend's DeWalt D26441K sander, within minutes I knew I had to have one because of the smooth way it handled compared to other brands. I knew I would buy one when I could find a good deal. I think I didn't find a good deal, but I think I found a GREAT deal! I ordered the same DeWalt model this last Sat. with Amazon's FREE with Super Saver Shipping and wasn't expecting to receive it until the next Fri. I was amazed to receive the sander Tues. morning! It took less than 3 days to get here!
As others have noted, it is noisy, but the performance outweighs that in my book. You can always wear earplugs. I can say without hesitation that this DeWalt D26441K sander is my overall personal preference!!!
Great quality September 24, 2009

I have several other dewalt tools, and they've all been great. They take a beating, work like a dog...and I've yet had one that quit on me. I expect they will out live me.
A great Sander.... very pleased with this purchase May 2, 2009

I did a little ressearch on all the sanders available and found this sander to be the best value and had the best amazon ratings so I purchased it. I am EXTREMELY happy I did so and believe this sander to be better than the others because it allows you to buy your own sandpaper and you can cut it to the square base of this sander (other sanders have round bases which is a problem because it makes you obligated to buy THEIR sandpaper so that it will properly fit the sander. With this sander, I bought sandpaper at Home Depot and it took me only a minute or two to cut the sandpaper purfectly to the base of this sander... Because the base of this sander is square and not round, it will be much easier in the future to buy my own sandpaper and cut it to spec. There were no problems here... I am not a very technical person.. I dont own a garage full of gadgets... so I love this sander because even an idiot can use it.
I have read other reviews regarding the noise level of this sander and I disagree. All sanders are loud (its the nature of the beast) and I'm not going to worry about its loudness. I am more concerned of how well it works and whether it holds up over time. This square based Dewalt sander does.
 good sander but the dust collection doesn't hold up. April 29, 2009

i have this same problem with pretty much all palm sanders, when they get about six months old the dust collector stops controlling the majority of the dust. i have tried taking them (i have two DeWalt palm sanders) apart and blowing it out and that helps for a few days. so that kinda rules it out for interior work. about a year ago i picked up a Bosch palm sander, as of yet it still controls nearly all the dust so if you are working in a shop without really good ventilation go with the Bosch. but all and all this is a nice smooth running machine.
