- Unboxing and 1st impressions of the Hueborly 5.0 sander I purchase from Amazon! At the time of purchase it was the least expensive I could find with the "Mirka/Festool" body style. There is some good, and some BAD about it!

On the rare instances I find myself sanding things I don't push down crazy had and try to slow the motor. If you have to do that your sand paper might be dull or worn out. That can cause the friction that heats up the pad and runs the hooks on the pad. Sadly that is a very common problem with hook and loop sanders and I also imagine that to someone who does a lot of sanding it is annoying as heck. That is because they spend more time trying to keep the paper on the thing than getting things done. It would be interesting to see how long these knock off sanders last because the real thing from 3M or Mirka is wickedly expensive!! My dad had a Festool Rotex and while it is a really good sander it is priced at $670. That doesn't include taxes or shipping. He used to work with solid surface counter top material and that stuff makes a very fine powder like dust that will ruin the bearings of your tools slowly but surely. That stuff gets everywhere!
The brake is a nice thing to have because I had sanders that would suddenly spin up to more than 10,000 RPM when you lift them up. That is had in a couple ways, one is that when you set it back down to resume sanding it can leave an ugly swirl that is hard to get out. The others are that if the hook and loop is worn out the paper might fly across the room. The last is you gotta watch your hands around it when it spins like that. It never happened to me but I imagine that it would give you a really nasty paper cut!!
I appreciated this review, David. When I add a 6" ROS, I expect I will buy one like this. Glad to know that one can eliminate the squeal by fussing with the hose/adaptor. Thank you!
it works well, but the dust collection system as a whole is kinda sucky, there are others that have the dust hose attachment set farther back that make it easier to adapt to your vac system. I3D printed an adaptor for this that works OK, but far from great. Otherwise it works rather well.
I shortend the hose to 15 cm and glued the thing tootgether, it removed the screaming from that badly designed hose, the shorte the better, also helps getting higher airflow when the slender hose is shorter.
It is not the adapter or vacuum. The hose itself is the source of that awful noise. If you can find another hose of a similar size but one that feels different on the outside it may be likely to have different ridges inside and might make less noise or a different one. Just use ear plugs also if your hearing is not great. Maybe even adapt a larger hose to it too and the noise may go away some. If you can find a vacuum hose from 3M or Mirka for it that should make no high pitched noises. It may be more expensive than a replacement of the one that sander came with but you won't go deaf or develop a case of tinnitus. Hearing and eye protection is always a good idea anyhow. It may not always feel or look good but it is worth it otherwise.
Good review, looks like it sands OK, how much was it?
It was just over $180, there was a coupon and such, honestly I’d spend the extra 20 bucks and get one that has the electric brake on it. But that’s a minor thing really. It’s a white label unit, so there are others like it all over Amazon in that general price range
@@Thomllama Thanks for letting me know.
@@Thomllamaeven the a lot more expensive brand Mirka doesn't stop any better than this one.🍻😎
@@robeccs most brands have electric brakes now.
@@Thomllama which one has the electric brake?
Good video Llama
Sooooo! It’s a SQUEELER!
just the vac hose LOL
Other hoses can make that horrible noise too. I strongly recommend throwing that hose out and getting a good one. At least then you won't wind up with hearing problems. I can imagine someone ending up with tinnitus after running a vacuum with that hose. It is not the inner diameter of it but the way air flows through. The rib pattern inside the hose is the cause of those awful harmonics. Note that a good vacuum hose doesn't do that!
Sander review with no actual "sanding" involved. Erm..
No one said it was a review, anyone who reviews products without at least a few months use isn’t really reviewing. This was an unboxing and 1st impressions 😃 and there was sanding if you watched the whole video. And the video is over a couple days. But I didn’t use it much as the hose squeal was ear piercingly annoying. Was actually thinking I might do a review soon now that I’ve used it a few months.
