Makita XOB01T Sander Lifespan?

I'm looking into getting a Makita XOB01T sander for my woodworking projects. Can you share some insights on its lifespan?

@AshCalzone, the Makita XOB01T is a quality tool, and many users report it lasting several years with proper care and maintenance.

I've been using mine for about two years now, and it still works great! The Overview of the Makita XOB01T Sander provides a more detailed analysis of its specifications. You'll find that the brushless motor contributes to longer lifespans compared to brushed motors.

Thanks for sharing your experience, @GabsTony. I also saw that the Makita XOB01T has a 5 Ah battery, which should provide good runtime for my projects.

I've been using mine for about a year now, and it's held up really well. One thing to consider is how often you replace the sanding pad, as this can impact lifespan. I usually replace mine every few months.

@AshCalzone is right, maintaining the sander and replacing parts like the pad regularly can make a huge difference in its lifespan. The battery life will also depend on how much you use it and how long each charging cycle takes.

I've been using mine for almost three years, and I'm really happy with it so far. Just remember to keep it clean and store it properly when not in use to ensure a longer lifespan.

Thanks everyone for your input! It sounds like the Makita XOB01T can be a reliable choice for my woodworking projects.
