First impression review after putting it to work for a day. This cordless sander is a beast. Will upload links later. Have a great day. www.amazon.com... www.amazon.com...
I am a woman and first time sanding sheet rock. I am familiar with sanding wood and wood work. I thank you for the thoroughness in your video. You showed exactly what needed to be shown. I feel I can do this in confidence with a little practice first.
Thanks for the reviews. I'm buying the mirka and the dewalt. Thay leros and deros are incredible. Open up a vast ount of refinishing options just by having them.
Hey guy, thanks for the intro, I was curious about the dewalt, but I think the mirka is still outstanding. Just can't see the point of cordless as u still have hose connected to vac. Looking forward to your next review of it in a month or so.......take care bud....
Great job with this channel. I'm really enjoying your vids. 👍 I was already leaning towards the dewalt bare tool over the makita and porter cable (being the least expensive of the three) but u recommending over the festool seals the deal. Ace tool has the dewalt for $420 + free 8ah 20v dewalt battery. Was just waiting till black friday in case a better deal came along but that's already a sweet deal.
I'm waiting for the new Festool drywall sander to come out. It was released in Europe or Australia I forget what country but what I understand is this new one is going to be awesome. It has a built-in light and it's brushless motor and it osculates. Let me know if you seen the new one yet. Aloha
ua-cam.com/video/5vjFtSmxzaY/v-deo.html Ya seems cool I couldn't tell if it spins like the Mirka but the movement of the head doesn't seem to be 180 like the Mirka. What makes the Mirka the king is the ceiling sanding for me.
@@csdrywallhawaii ya, I think the new festool, with the light, does have a random orbital like the mirka, they call it something else though. Not sure if head pivots 180 degrees. From what I can tell, the cost will be over $1800.00 Canadian, about $400.00 more then the mirka. The mirka is a simple, well made tool, ya to expensive, but does the job better than any I've seen.
Hi big fella, We run the makita and a Dewalt. Find the Makita is leaving a much better finish than the Dewalt. Maybe just my machine... Thinking of changing the base pad on the Dewalt to the same as the Makita to see if this helps. Great informative video as always 👍
Youd love the L5 finosh I just renovated a house eith.. Glass.. All glass no tool marks. Ever F with an 18" or larger, curved- - long handle trowel....? If you like tomahawks.. You might really like it. Just some insight after watching many of your videos. You kill it. Respect.
Really enjoy your vids. Need some advice. Just bought the dewalt cordless sander. Iam getting swirl marks. Using dewalt 240 grit. Do you think the joest paper is better. Appreciate the feedback
after using it now for a bit, is your opinion still that it's a great tool? Im replacing another wen that has the duel heads the round and the corner triangle head... Surprisingly it's been a great sander but they don't last but a year before I have to rebuy. I'm going to be buying a mirka based on your videos but was hesitant as i close up manufactured homes and all my drywall is sanding through existing texture and was wondering if the mirka could do that easily? Or should I go with dewalt? The other pad looks much better for dust! Have u used the pad from dewalt with the wholes? LMK if u got time bro, enjoy the videos!
ua-cam.com/video/EA4K3Y38hc8/v-deo.html here a quick video of me trying to remove popcorn with the dewalt. Over all I would not buy the Mirka for anything other then finish sanding its not really meant to grind stuff down like the festool or dewalt. I would probably go with the dewalt if you already have the batteries and see if you could purchase an extended warranty. Put it though its paces if it gives out your covered.
Hey friend thank you very much ... your videos are very helpful. now I am convinced to grab my DeWalt sander. and what vacuum cleaner do you use. in this video
Only if there was a code where you would benefit from this. I will be ordering mine, I can tell my porter cable sander is shaking to much which I assume it’s able to give out. thanks for the vid bro.
Awesome so far pretty impressed. Nah no need for codes just sharing the love for the trade and reviewing the new toys I buy tell you guys if its worth it.
Just subscribed to your channel Guillermo. You give very good advice. Thanks. Just a quick question on this Dewalt tool: do you transport it in some bag or box? Dewalt does not seem to make one. This is a big flaw. You never have to worry about that with Festool or other european brands... it seems. Also, just a quick note. It does not matter if you use a mesh abrasive like the Mirka Abranet or similar with this tool. The dust is absorbed only on the edge of the pad, close to the outer brush. Not through the pad. I big flaw.
ua-cam.com/video/CxnRXPWFU3g/v-deo.html Here's a hack for the dewalt I been using my old festool bag but hilti also sells one for 120 that's pretty good.
Cual de estas maquinas es la mejor porter cable,festool planex ,o DeWalt yo tengo la porter cable pero me gustaria comprar la festool planex no se que tan buena es porque la. Porter cable es buenísima pero el problema es que hay que gastar mucho las piezas como por ejemplo carbones cables y el motor
@@csdrywallhawaii Running one, 9", any sander sith the bosch 300 cfm extractor is seriously stupid. Ita 99.6% dust proof. You can run 2 sanders off it at once with 50' hoses and effectively extract..
@@csdrywallhawaii Thw other rhing ive besn looking into for cordless set ups, and versitility is backpack vaccumms.. There are super sexy 125-175 cfm back vacs that are hepa certified. Mosquito brans males a ridiculous one and so does dustless technologies.
I feel ya this was more of a sander that I don't mine the guys beating up to brush down etc and since most our builds are new dust is ok. I feel like in a couple of years a solid cordless vac will come to fruition. Thanks for watching
I must be a sick man, watching drywall vid before I head out to drywall for the day.
Awesomeness my kind of guy🤙🏽
Ya, you r sick, go work all day, come home and crack a beer watch drywall vids till bedtime......like the rest of us........😂
@@bobseguin2195 I see you know my routine😎
Lol so true
Does it work well to sand the first ruff coat? I like your vids, great job, cheers from Montreal Canada

Go to hear thanks for watching.
I agree with you. I was looking at the Festool Planex, but this does more for less. You do need the Dewalt batteries.
Had no idea Dewalt had a cordless drywall sander. Thanks.

Awesome! This is going to be my next sander! Thank you!
I'm local to atlas tools such a great place.
No problem brother glad I could help

I can’t wait for Kimo to come out with a cordless sander for 1/2 the price of the Competition 😜
Good review dude! 👍
Always enjoy your videos and hope to buy one someday
Hi big fella,

Awesome great advice
Are the base pads interchangeable?
Anybody on here use the festool planex? How would you say the dewalt compares to the festool planex?
The spinning drywall sander is much faster then the new festool or mirka. I use mirka for ceilings and the original festool planex on walls for speed.
I love Atlas tools. They have crazy deal sometimes. Awesome review, thanks.
Thanks Jon yeah the only thing that sucks some times is the shipping.
That’s impressive man. Thanks for sharing!
No problem thanks for watching 🤙🏽
great thank you
I have the makita 18v. It's a little awkward but I'm not a drywall contractor so I dont use it all like that

Thanks brother I'll look into it.
Thx memo great info, keep bringing it
Awesome brother thanks for the support 🤙🏽
Thanks, I enjoyed the video.
Seems strange to have a cordless sander when dust extraction is needed anyways.
What benefits are their over the corded highreach?
Really enjoy your vids. Need some advice. Just bought the dewalt cordless sander. Iam getting swirl marks. Using dewalt 240 grit. Do you think the joest paper is better. Appreciate the feedback
Thanks brother yes the joist helps minimize I would recommend a 180 or higher we vary from 180 to 220 grit depending on finish. Goodluck🤙🏽

I normally use 150 grit for final sanding with my regular manual sanding pole …would recommend finer fir using with this Dewalt sander ?
Yes 180 joest sandpaper does the trick.
hey, does the mirka make the micro swirl marks too? Thanks for the review!
No it leaves a finer finish but will still scuff if left in one stop for to long.
50 cent adapter 😅 haven't heard that before.
Hey friend thank you very much ... your videos are very helpful. now I am convinced to grab my DeWalt sander. and what vacuum cleaner do you use. in this video
No problem brother Iam using my dewalt hepa vac thats about 6 years old still running strong. Thanks for watching
Only if there was a code where you would benefit from this. I will be ordering mine, I can tell my porter cable sander is shaking to much which I assume it’s able to give out. thanks for the vid bro.
Awesome so far pretty impressed. Nah no need for codes just sharing the love for the trade and reviewing the new toys I buy tell you guys if its worth it.
What is the average price per foot for drywall? materials and labor on a new house out in Hawaii
N9 good for big houses

Thanks for the support brother 🤙🏽
I'm removing popcorn ceiling and making it flat. What will be the best to have if I want to buy only one sender: cordless Dewalt or Mirka?
The festool planex 2 would be the best for that.
Cual de estas maquinas es la mejor porter cable,festool planex ,o DeWalt yo tengo la porter cable pero me gustaria comprar la festool planex no se que tan buena es porque la. Porter cable es buenísima pero el problema es que hay que gastar mucho las piezas como por ejemplo carbones cables y el motor
Cala el hilti esta super Bueno. Llama a un rep. Y te Dejan tratar lo gratis
What number of grit did you use? Or what number do you use for new walls?
We use the joest sand paper grit 180 on all our walls, 220 uf it's just a quick sand after skiming.
Do u need to use bag with this vacuum when sanding skimcoat
Nope no bag needed.
thanks man
Was just wondering how you like the hippo Vac
Running strong going on 6 years now so have no complaints.
Which number of grit did you use for walls and ceiling’s?
We use 180-220 depending on finish
Can you add a link to where you buy your paper, do you use the.same paper with your Mirka?
csrbuilding.com/products/joest-9-round-drywall-sanding-discs-for-porter-cable-7800-15-pack
They also carry the Mirka Abernet sanding pads.
I only use the abernet pads by mirka for the leros.
Can someone recommend between the dewalt and makita
Whos listening to Calibre 50 in Hawaii??😄
Haha un poco de todo compa.
What kind of pads does it use ?
I like the joest.
Don't do the v cordless chum.. Not enough cfm for osha reg. 25cfm/1" diam of grinder tool
Ya thats what I was thinking not enough power or battery life to make sense.
But that 300 cfm bosch GAS20 extractor for $1500 is a steal!

Is there a way to use it without the vacuum
Yup just grab and go just make shure you wear a mask
What brand sanding pad are you using?
csrbuilding.com/products/joest-9-round-drywall-sanding-discs-for-porter-cable-7800-15-pack
Doesn't the dewalt vac hose connect to the sander.......
You'd think so. Seems odd it doesn't.
Needs an adapter since the dewalt hose I have was meant for the power cable.
What type of attachment do we need for a shop vac?
I am using 1 1/2” x 1 1/4” silicon rubber for that. Shame. They just do this to sell $400 vacuum.
Found it its the universal attachment for the the dewalt tools it's $20 on Amazon.
Can you please show how you wet sponge your angles
Tbh I don't see the point of having cordless sander without a cordless vac still have to run a pipe to the vac might as well run a cable.
I feel ya this was more of a sander that I don't mine the guys beating up to brush down etc and since most our builds are new dust is ok. I feel like in a couple of years a solid cordless vac will come to fruition. Thanks for watching
I make sure to do that on our next project.
Does anyone know if Milwaukee is planning on bringing one out?
Hopefully the more the merrier
It would be more expensive I would think …only the Chinese company ..Kimo could bang one out at 1/2 the cost ….I hope they do soon
slides for work shoes..😂
On finish and punch list homes slides gang all day 😂
Esta chido tu canal
Gracias amino 🤙🏽
It's okay but it's under powered, still porter cable
Can this be used to sand hardwood floors
Not its intended use but in a pinch I see it working out. Don't recommend to by it just for that though.
Can I get one of your shirts.......lol
Doing a give away of our new tees and hats soon.
