Thanks for the link, @OmarL1ttle. I'm particularly interested in the no-load speed and power rating of this sander. How did these perform in your experience?

The no-load speed is impressive, definitely helps with getting tasks done quickly. The 1.2 amp rating gives it plenty of power for most jobs.

That's good to hear! I'm curious about the weight and ergonomics of this sander. Does it feel comfortable to use for extended periods?

It is quite lightweight at 2.5 lbs, which makes it easy to handle. I've used it for hours without my hands getting too fatigued.

Great! One last question - does the corded design limit mobility much when using this sander? I'm worried about tripping over the cord.

It's true that a cord can be somewhat limiting, but with practice, you can get used to it. The power and consistency of a corded tool are also advantages in certain situations. Just something to consider!

Thanks for all the input, everyone! I'll definitely check out the TechReviewer article Overview of the Ryobi CFS1503GK Sander and think about my options. Appreciate your insights!
