I've had no issues with the one I bought. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I would like to get a d/a sander though as an upgrade in the future.

As for the 3 year warranty, I was told today when I went to buy the 3 piece tin snip set that it only had 90 days and didn't have the warranty like they have on stuff like Mastercraft Wrench's, sockets, screwdriver etc............
Spend the money, I really don't care.............I just hate seeing people spend hard earned money on something that is not going to last.......................
For a difference of $20 to the penny I would rather buy a firestorm from the Black & Decker factory outlet that has a 2 year warranty in writing and something like that has been over the counter the last time I took mine in..........

what does it matter what others buy?
Just because its more expensive doens't mean its always better.
Ive bought some cheap tools in the past and loved them, and vise versa with expensive ones as well.
I bought an expensive 12v bosch cordless drill and the clutxh is already going on it so I need to get it fixed cause its slipping. Here I was under the impression they made a quality product.

PS- I am pretty sure that this particular 'mouse' sander is actually manufactured by B&D for Mastercraft...
but feel free to rpove me wrong.
I just thought that this would make it a lot easier on people's fingertips than sanding by hand all those wonderful sub-boxes and kicks that we all like to make, I didnt want to start a huge practical argument.

Also I know that all their hand tools have lifetime warranties, but that generally doesn't include anything that requires batteries or to be plugged in. I told my installer to get a Makita for a drill when he started, but he bought the Mastercraft instead. It was dead within 6 months, he went and got it fixed, when they found out he worked with it they wouldn't warranty it because it was meant for only occasional use.
I mean great go out and buy the sander, but it will not have a lifetime warranty and it will break if you are doing a large amount of fiberglass work with it.

craftsman > master craft but in this case mastercraft is cheaper so im gonna buy one! If its anything like the craftsman mouse sander it will be great for small detail work.
