Default (OT) DA Sanders - What Do You Use?

I'm needing to buy a new DA sander to work on an older beater pickup I just bought so it will look decent enough to park in the drive. What brand do you guys & gals use that you like? I don't need the top of the line sander for what I am doing, just a good comfortable to use one. I do have a good reliable air compressor I'll be using so I am not worried about the CFM and pressure requirments I know these sanders require. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you all have to offer.

Try a dynabrade, we use them at work for 8+ hrs a day and have good luck.

Airvantage and Dynabrade are 2 of the best and lightest sanders, but will set you back roughly $160. If you are just going to use it for the truck I would just get a $39 import to do the job. Craig :cheers:

I use a Hutchins, Dynabrade, and a national detroit, DA's and a Snap-ON 9 inch mud hog.
