5 inch random orbital air sander

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

I'm looking to spend some money on a random orbital 5 inch air sander. Been looking on eBay and other places and there is such a wide variety of brands and prices. Anyone have a good choice that is better than others?

I have been beating the heck out of a Porter Cable electric 5" RO for several years, love it. Why do you want an air sander?

I have a Blue Point that I bought many years ago, more than 20yrs that is. I like it because it is very well insulated for vibration. Granted, it does not get used every day now like it did in it's first 5 or 6 yrs of ownership. But I can still grab it and know that it will get the job done.

Why 5" ? Most suppliers around here at least only carry 6" paper. Or does your shop supply it ? That being said, Ingersoll-Rand

For what I am using it for at work 5 inch is much easier. Besides the shop supplies 5 inch adhesive discs. I won the bid on this one yesterday for 57 bucks. Tax and all was around 70. Dynabrade is all l have ever used. A new one like this is

around 250.
