Festool Planex Easy VS Porter Cable 7800

- In this video we go over some of the similarities and differences between these two sanders. Hopefully this info helps your decision in choosing your next sander. Both of these sanders can be found on www.all-wall.com
What the review fails to address is that when the motor is mounted to the head, it puts the weight far from your body and causes twice the fatigue. As for dust extraction, with a half decent vac, my porter cable will suck itself to a wall...
Porter cable is a fiberglass pole and aluminum head mount, the festoon is plastic...
My opinion is you can pay for the name and a bag... or just buy a tool that works extremely well (7 years now) for half.
That's a good point, I have the Planex easy and it definitely does cause a lot of fatigue, and I'm thinking now that could be the reason.
I'm always hearing good things about the PC from guys who have both, I'm thinking getting one at some point.
It doesn't suck to the surface?
Rosco P. Coltrane how much is the harness kit, another $500?
Thanks for the review! I am sold and will purchase the Festool knowing now that I know the motor is directly mounted and it has better dust suction. I currently have the Porter-Cable but feel it suffers from lack of power at times.
Awesome comparison. Keep pumping out those videos.
I used both and own the porter cable. I like the porter cable better. It's more balanced and I get the pads at home depot tool rental and they even sell the sanding screens there too. The fest told does have a better articulation . I never need to go past the second speed on both of them. They both work really good
I've used Porter but not Festool. Does the Festool do better with dust extraction?
@@deputyja1 I would say about the same. The full head must be on the wall 100%. So if you doing around a open door way and the head is of the wall a little bit they will both throw dust everywhere. The most important part is the vacuum. I us the ridgid wd 1956 16 gallon stainless steel. With the good hepa filter "it says for drywall dust" from home depot its like $32 and i use the bags with that filter. Double protection!
Thanks for that vid I've been thinking of getting the planex vac combo, what is your opinion with the suction on the festool planex vac combo that they talk about in thier demonstrations is its any benefit at all or is it just a gimmick
A bit of both. it can hold itself to the ceiling, but you can't really work like that. The combo is awesome though. If you buy the Planex you're going to need a good dust extractor anyways, so may as well get the one made for it. Its the combo we've been using for years now.
DrywallNation ahh I see well thanks for clearing that up for me, I think I'm going to get the combo aswell. Love your work and thanks for replying
I'm about to use my festool planex and dust extractor today. pretty excited not to be so messy and have to clean dust everywhere.
@@sevagboyajian3168 How did it go?
Have you used the lower end brands? Like the WEN 6369?
I've one, for the price, not to bad.....
Excellent. To the point. Thanks
You mentioned sanding popcorn ceilings. Have you had success removing popcorn ceilings by sanding as opposed to wetting and scraping? I have a project coming up that involves removing popcorn on cathedral ceilings and think there would be less damage if you do not have to wet.
Sanding popcorn ceilings works great, especially if it hasn't been painted. An unpainted popcorn ceiling will come off fast and easy with a power sander, and usually the ceiling will just require a skim and be perfect. . if its painted it won't go as fast but still works awesome
Also forgot to mention that the ceilings should probably be screwed off. Depending on when the house was built, they use to hang sheets with nails. So 70 and 80s for sure.
If the popcorn is not painted will just sanding be enough or do you have to skim with mudd
Chris Fallon ,you can scrape the majority with a 14"or larger blade and some touch up, with minimal pole sanding. Or get one of these grinders and make a hell of a mess. Good luck on yer choice. Sorry nobody answered you before now.
You might have to touch up the odd spot with mud but other then that your good to go. I use 220 to get a smooth finish.
What do you think about the Mirka Leros?
I've just bought one, best decision I've made in some time.
Carlos Havens is full of it. These are indespinsible when going level 5 over a heavy knockdown or orange peel. Especially if its high volume and high ceilings. Half the time and half the fatigue. Which is the goal in the design of all Fesstool products. Ask any career, journeyman finisher abt his shoulders and he will begin to talk about torn rotators and or bursitus, just overall destruction of the joint. One thing only is the culprit. Sanding. Overhead especially. Shocker I know. As for any scratches or whatever left by sander is easily delt with by applying one coat of Prep Coat or a similar product. Any finisher worth his salt would be doing that anyway. But what do I know Ive only been doin this for 30 years.
That was my thought reading his post, lol, everyone's a expert on the internet.
He porter cable works great and doesn’t wear you out like the other ones with all the weight from the motor on top , the porter cable is way more balanced
Review the mirka leros
You show the Jost interface pad. Why don’t you show the Jost sanding discs with either machine. Then it’s truly dustless...
festool is so heavy i have flex wst 700 And i can sand nearly non stop with it with the planex i have pain in my wrists cuz of how big pipes where you hold are
Porter cable is the best
Do you think this will work on orange peel texture?
To remove unpainted texture yes but will have too touch up spots depending on what your goal finish is. If its painted float with mud and sand it smooth. Paint will clog paper 🙈🙈
Why would you sand popcorn when it comes off with water and a knife. You’re in drywall. So you know this. So. Why?
Limits dust control, and leaves the place cleaner in my opinion
Why scrape when I can sand it in a quarter of the time? Far easier. And it creates wayyyyy less mess. Soooo...
Not to mention good luck with water if it ever had a sheen paint applied. Around here painters mixed and rolled and usually wasn't flat
@@justinhc123scraping. Is suppppper fast. Messy. W the water. But it sheets off.
popcorn , some have astbestos so deadly if removed. so maybe better not try to remove it
You should do Flex GE7 vs Festool! or GE7 vs Portercable!
The only problem here is...
What ff kk tou using to sand popcorn??
Whattt?
What.. ta.. no way.
Just make it wet and scraped...
Easy and *"SAFETY"*
Check out mirka legos, new to north America, just bought one, in my opinion, way superior to anything on the market today.
The PC is an excellent tool. If you really do drywall you would realize it. Don't worry rookie.

How bias can you get. This wasn't a review it is a passive-aggressive advertisement. This guys a joke. Both are equal in power. The Festool has the motor at the head, so it feels heavier ( center of gravity issues ) When it comes down to it- personal preference.
Festol?
Naaah!
No thanks.
I cam dewalt or other brands if need it.
Festol is just the name and very expensive plastic tool.
Theu called fancy tool.
No thanks.
Not even need to watch the video.
Nice pimping, but unnecessary as a DIYer isn't going to purchase one and you're not going to influence a professional with your BS!!
ikr
Sanding ain't that hard, these things are overkill. If a "popcorn ceiling is painted just go over it with 1/4" rock or mud it. If not it scrapes with ease. There are sanding companies that charge 3 cents a foot. What I'm saying is the best way to become a good finisher is by sanding yer own work. Yer not grinding welds
"go over it with 1/4 rock" what do you mean?
Sounds like someone can’t afford the Festool. Sanding isn’t hard, however it is messy. Working in new construction, who cares. Nobody lives in the home. If you are a remodeled or work in occupied spaces, it is almost necessary to use dust collection on the job site.
TurfWar you hang quarter inch drywall on top
Jose Gomez ,Gracias José.
Renaissance Man , I'm a finisher, not a grinder. I have worked in hospital trauma floors and E.R.floors that had 0 tolerance for dust and paint fumes. One remodel was at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Tejas. Where JFK died. I have worked in every state,and have been fortunate enough to work with some of the best finishers in the trade, overtime I learned to be a very good finisher as I dislike sanding immensely. I have walked onto a job or 2 and saw a couple of Y T VIDEOS of these things in action. I couldn't believe the mess these grinders make. Something has been done wrong if a guy has so much mud on the wall that he needs to grind it before texture,this isn't made for smooth wall. The price is irrelevant I wouldn't accept 1 if you gave it to me and offered to grind every job I had. And if you bid on any work, even a garage and mentioned yer grinder, no matter how cheap you work for you wouldn't get any work from me or anyone across the country that I know in the trade. I've talked to quite a few contractors and shared the a few vids with the grinder in action, same response across the board. I have nothing against Canada but this looks like something made popular N. Of the border, alot of strange ideas come outta there . anyway keep practicing, a little common sense and someday you'll get it. I would explain the easiest way to a dust free job, but I appreciate the process more because I had to figure it out early in my career. It's not rocket surgery, I'll help with one item, it is a pole sander attachment for a shop vac, but as we know Trauma and E.R.are not only dust free but noise free also. Until then happy grinding and clean up.
