Cheap Milwaukee 6020-21 1/4-Sheet Orbital Sander


I RETURNED THIS SANDER AFTER ONE WEEK. This sander is the poorest designed electric tool I have ever seen. My son told me I should buy a DeWalt, I wish I listened to him. First off, this sander is difficult at best to get the 1/4 sheet of sandpaper loaded in the sander. The pad used on the sander is a bit larger than others so you have to play with the ¼ sheet to finally get it loaded. Just to get the 1/4 in place take minutes of fiddling with it. It takes at least 5 times longer to load a sheet of sandpaper on this Milwaukee compared to my old Makita.
To add insult to injury once you finally get the sandpaper loaded in the Milwaukee sander and start to use it, the sandpaper slips out of the grips quickly. This piece of junk simply will not hold the sandpaper tightly enough. My 20 year old Makita holds it better after all the years and wear on it. I thought I would replace my old Makita with this new Milwaukee. NOT A CHANCE!!!
Last but not least, the grip on this sander is far too large to hold comfortably. I have no idea who designed this but Milwaukee should do themselves a favor and send them to work at their competitors because whoever it is has no idea how to design tools. I RETURNED THIS PIECE OF JUNK. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
