These seem like junk to me. I bought a pair. I recommend spending twice as much on something else — you will be more likely to end up with lights that will last a few years.

I've been looking at belt sanders & grinders. I opted for something different but thought these were good deals:

As far as I can tell, this one's offered by bucktools and vevor. Bucktools also offers another version w/no plastic parts for 196 & one w/a 1x42" belt for metal working and 2 speed for about 210. They say it's 1 hp in that configuration but doubt it. The vevor has a better belt guard for easy changeouts and a redesigned ducting for a single vacuum port.

This one is offered by Palgrem, Eastwood, and Bucktools at a higher cost and looks to be well rated (Amazon rating is for all different model offerings but the 2x42 is all 4 or 5 star, well received on youtube as well) I think it's a discontinued craftsman clone. It says 3.5 A as do the Palgrem and Bucktools which does translate to 1/2 hp but the others advertise as 1/3 hp so I'm thinking no efficiency's accounted for. Eastwood also advertises as 1/2 hp but does have a 5A rating though motor frame looks same

this next one looks to be a multitool knockoff but identical to eastwood versa, the hp on the combo unit seems a bit low 3.1A vs. 6A on the multitool, eastwood says 8A on theirs. The arm attachment available separately could probably work best w/a higher powered hf or facebook marketplace unit, the motor diameter does look signficantly smaller than Eastwood's and smaller than multitool:

The 48" multitool knockoff was discounted from last price so I bit the bullet. The 36" was too but not as much. I ordered 6" ceramic belts to split 3x ($1.50/per) (prices b4 discount):

Seeing this hillbilliness for a 2x72 probably had something to do with it:

I bought a knock-off before, worked well enough. It is just a steel shaped cone, over a bearing to allow the back to spin. The Lisle was going to take too long in shipping when I needed it.

The cheap ones are clones. Lisle's MSRP for the tool is $40.65.

I am pretty sure (but not confident ) that Lisle has increased MSRP for these recently

For instance their 28950 (same idea, just larger for truck studs) has been right about this $25-30 price for a long time
Edit: Currently $28.42 on "sale" from nominal $45, for future reference

This is a nice consolidated set to keep in a work truck. I have this and the 1/4” version I think we’re on sale for $99 as a pair years back. I keep the 1/2” version in my Amazon watch list hoping for a deal around $100, but it usually $180-200.

If I understood the ad correctly, Kevlar is only used for stitching threads there (just to be able to put "Kevlar" into description, I guess). And there are too many feedbacks pointing to extremely low quality of stitching and problems with washing waxed fabric.

*Supposedly* the kevlar stitching is more heat resistant. We'll see. It was cheap.

FWIW, I paid $20.00 for the 22800 in June of 2019.

Dynamic pricing — as soon as the item became popular, the price jumped. Maybe that was the 15th purchase or over $500 sold or whatever the algorithm specified. You will be seeing more and more dynamic pricing….
