My $70 Porter Cable Drywall Sander find

[MN4x4]

I have a big drywall job to tackle on the house so I have been watching CL for a deal on a Porter Cable Drywall Sander. Looked last hight and saw an ad for one, with some extras. Went and got it today:



I inventoried and priced it, and here's what I have...



Except for one pad and one sanding disk, all the consumables are new and unused. I paid $200 for all of it. If I bought the sander new I would have had to buy the consumables anyway (and maybe more) so I really only paid a little over $70 for the tool - which is like new, BTW. I think I did OK...

WOW - over 150 hits and not a single comment? Did I tick everybody off or something?

We have 2 of these sanders with the vac at work. They make for fast and somewhat dustless sanding. They have a learning curve till your used to them.
It's very easy to sand off to much in a very short time. You did get a great deal on the price.

I'm almost done framing my basement and wondered if I should get one of these as I hate sanding. I can never get away without sanding, though I've watched our builder put a really thin coat on and then barely sand it to make it smooth. I tried copying his technique but wasn't able to get it working for me.

The house is just over 3000 sq.ft and I will have to cut each 8ft piece of drywall in half to get it down into the basement so I'm looking at double the number of joints too

... I will have to cut each 8ft piece of drywall in half to get it down into the basement so I'm looking at double the number of joints too

That ***** several ways. Not only do you have twice the number of joints, but only half of them will be recessed.The others will have to be built up and feathered out.

I don't envy you.

You ****. There you go I want one, too.

I wasn't trolling for one, but I'll take it. My very first official suckage. Thanks!!!

Good score! I'm jealous. Not that I want to sand sheetrock though!

$100,000,00 or make an offer must be a mistake
