Cordless straight line or jitterbug sander?

[ADSR]

Guys, as we all know, the cordless tools have been putting a good size dent in replacing automotive air tools. But this is for the mechanical side of the business.

Do you think we'll ever see a cordless side for auto body? What a about a brushless 18v straight line sander? Or how about a 12v jitterbug? I do love my IR straight line sander, but i hate the air hose on the back of it.

What do you guys think?

I highly doubt it, between the dust produced using these tools-you know you only sand filler with them and the long use intervals that are typically expected when using these sanders because if you weren't doing a ton of sanding you would use a block or board anyway

The straight line sander is intended for long relatively flat surfaces such as a door or hood or roof panel.
