Only thing the dust collecting bag was not in package, but was sent later after I had to make a telephone call.

I am very impressed with my Rigid Belt Sander. I have owned it for about a month and have used it every day as a contractor. Would definitely buy again.

Operationally the sander works great. Has a very aero-dynamic sexy look however the dust cover gets in the way if you want to switch from one hand to the other. The variable speed button is cheaply made. That being said, I like it and would buy it again.

This was a surprise gift for my husband from our kitty on Father’s Day! He LOVES it!!! He’s so thrilled to have such a quality sander! I purchased a Ridgid Orbital Sander years ago and he loves that too. Ridgid is the best!

Works as expected, dust bag clogged within an hour and is not easy to clean without taking apart sander. Tracking works well.

I’ve need a belt Sanders for years so I finally got one. I like the power, ease of use, and comfort in my hand. What I don’t like is the fact that there is nowhere to put it when you are done using it. No handy toolbag or box. It just lays around. Looking like a mess. I’m not giving 5stars on durability because I just bought it a month ago, but I have used it quite a bit and seems to be great. I’ve done quite a bit of construction work for 25yrs and I’m always building something or remodeling something in my spare time. I hope it holds up like my other ridgid tools.
