The new Planex Easy drywall sander was designed, for long reach sanding of drywall and plaster surfaces. This model was designed, not the replace it former version, but to offer users a simplifier option.
Festool recognized that painters are trying to eliminate scratches on the wall during surface preparation. Popular competitor models sand well but fail with the inflexibility of their sanding head. They also have a motor near the operator’s hand and drive the sanding head with a flexible head.
Festool, trying to see through the eyes of their customers, noticed a lot of flexible shaft failures. They designed the new Planex Sanders with a direct drive, brushless motor at the tools sanding head.
There is no shank at the head of the Festool Planex Easy Long Reach Sander, the dust extractor hose. This results in a much more flexible, easier to operate sanding head, and a longer service life. The brushless motor without flexible shaft is maintenance-free and ensures optimum power transmission.
Easy handling makes sanding as quick and problem-free as possible, and the low weight enables you to work without getting tired for sustained periods.
This sander weighs only 8.8 lbs and has less features, such as, a fixed 63” long, length wand.
Compare It to an AUTO Function on a Camera
The secret to the new Planex Easy a “sweet spot - pre-dialed in setting” that Festool chose to set it at. I like to compare this approach to an AUTO feature of most digital cameras. The camera engineers select the beast features for the camera to collect photos when set on AUTO.
The Festool Planex Easy Long Reach Sander has been set on AUTO for users, Festool specially designed this tool for the lesser skilled user, and offers a much smaller learning curve to operate. Think about the easier version Planex and the learning curve associated with it, painting prep company owners may not want their employees operating a more complicated tool.
This lets you get the tool working with lesser skilled workers right away!
