Festool 575994 Planex LHS 2 225 EQI-Plus Drywall Sander

I used to think I was really good at skim coating. I’ve had guys come behind me and paint cause they thought it was already sanded. Now I can see every tiny flaw bright as day because of the light. It is a perfectly designed light to show all your flaws. It will hurt your feelingsThe suction power is amazing. When in ceiling mode you can actually let go and it will be stuck to the ceiling.The dust collection is amazing as well. Paired with the Festool DC 36 the auto off and on is pretty cool. I have confidence sanding over any furniture and the life without having to worry about a mess.Learn the tool. It gets better as you get better. Find what speed, settings and grit work best for you and. Practice your motions. Like I said the tool improves as you improve.Not very helpful for sanding corners but I think that’s pretty obvious. Edges aren’t terrible the vacuum edge gets in the way sometimes but there is no other way to design it to eliminate this. I will take the excellent suction over this minor inconvenience.

Works very well. On the slow side of sanders but the lighting shows you every imperfection and allows you to sand work areas cleaner and more perfect.

I'm a contractor and I do a fair about of drywall work in conjunction with remodels. I got this sander when I had to do a couple of larger rooms in occupied spaces. It's a bit heavy, especially for ceilings, but it's fast and CLEAN! I really like it.

The quality of parts and weight reminds you how good everything Festool makes is. The vacuum works really well and light is a must have!

I purchased this to sand down my popcorn ceilings purchased the wrong sand paper. Once I switched over to the correct use… the dust that was generated was minimal. Truly and amazing machine.
