Airbase by EMAX Industrial Random Orbital Air Jitterbug Sander

Great sander to use, lightweight, controllable, good motion. 1701 grams without the air fitting, the trigger and speed control work well, not too much noise or vibration (compared to other units - hey it's a jitterbug), sands well while it works

BUT, it doesn't have the spikes to hold the sandpaper, only the clamps, so any paper finer than 80-grit slips off to the side within seconds to minutes. Tried adding grip surface to clamping face, dual-sided tape to sandpaper, neither helped enough.

Sad to have sent it back, but without the feature to grip the paper, no good. I couldn't tell if it was just a one-off production error or a stupid penny-pinching decision to remove the feature. Otherwise, it'd be a great value.
